@silver-falcon: We'll just have to find that out with akhil

@akhil: I'm here till next weekend.

[Jonak]

As of now, I can't get off Phwoar, and have been riding to work and nearly everywhere else on it.

So nice to hear this. We were all worried about your baby. We were all when you said you want to sell her off.

Yeah Jonak even I was scared when he said that...but since I am following the thread since the ONE came to Rossi, I knew it was just the frustration, impatience, etc etc which was speaking...not Rossi as I knew the day the ONE would roar again.....Rossi would not let her go

now I am keeping a close look for the travelogues by both of them (Rossi and the 1)

[Rajat Bhanti]

can anyone tell that when does R1 09 is going to launch in India and is Kawasaki guys are coming with their machines or not??

[Samarth 619]

I don't want to go that way yet.. Don't exactly need more power and am not such a exhaust sound freak as well. But I have thought about it many times

Write up coming guys. Working on it. As of now, I can't get off Phwoar, and have been riding to work and nearly everywhere else on it.

That's great. So, the thoughts about selling it ... Oh, ma' bad. Forget it!

Anyways, nice to know life is back the way it should have been... Take good care of "Phwoar"... Good luck. and waiting for the write-up eagerly.

Thanks for your wishes guys..

It has been a rebirth of sorts for me. I seem to be going everywhere on the R1 now that it's back with me. Right from the 17th, I've been commuting on it, and yesterday I took it for a smallish run with a friend of mine. People who remember my writeup on the MT-01 first impressions would remember him, Hari. It was his bike that first infected me, and continues to enchant me. So both of us, met up with another R1, an Intruder, and an R15 in the morning and headed off towards Devanahalli Road.

It was a fun, sweet ride which allowed me to reconnect with the R1 after a very long time. We finally ended up in Chikballapur, had breakfast and returned. Here a couple of pics:





Was busy riding and catching up with Hari, so not many pics from this ride.

Felt real good to be on the road with Phwoar again, and also glimpsed a few other bikers as well. Looks like people are coming out of the DRI scare.

Heck somebody in Bangalore is back on his R1 and I wonder why I am so happy about it!
Nice to see you back bro... saw your FB status first thing today morning and was gleaming since then...

Please shed some joy on the riding gear thread too, I see a new lid, is that you?

Good to see you back on the road again. With the One!

And yes, I do remember Hari and your text on the MT! 80kms it was for you, the first time with the MT.

@Rossi: Lovely small ride to reconnect with the 'One! Feels good to read and see the pictures of your R1 after such a long time.

[satyenpoojary]

Nope.. that's Hari

I kinda knew that, coz you have a Astar leather suit
Welcome to "the perils of having too much info online group"
