Re: My pre-worshipped goddess - Yamaha R1

So an update has been long overdue but had been shifting my house from Gurgaon to Delhi so havent had time to make any updates of late. But other than riding hld ave added a few new cosmetic + functional + safety upgrades, so thought I would let you guys know.

Got my 4th clutch plate changed (yes I am a horrible rider and very impatient and am overeving all the time, so my clutch pays the price), Front Tire changed, rear cowl added ( reached finally). And lastly the one safety upgrade that I havent seen any superbikers have - headlight guards (ok some other SBK'ers may have them, but since I havent seen them, I felt I must comment). Given that our roads are full of pebbles and worse when driving in groups these things fly out at tremendous speeds, I felt this is an important safety aid to add. With this the only safety equipment missing is my radiator guard which should be here in another 2 weeks to round my bike's all round protection (No burre nazaar guys, have already crashed once

)

Thanks a lot....The kids were funny and very polite so it was the least i could do...But am amazed at the power of social networking...and am still trying to figure out which R15 page did my post end up in, cause I didnt see it shared

What can I say but it is the magnetic personality of the bike that likes drawing people from all walks of life to itself

YZF Yamaha R15 Version 2.0

This is the page which i was talking about and it was not shared, they had posted just the above screenshot.

Yeah and the R1 sure does have a personality which attracts everyone

Kudos to you brother! People like you are rare.
Just like you were lucky to get polite children who were around your bike, they were lucky as well because you understood their real intentions and had lunch with them rather than scolding and shooing them off. Take a bow!

Re: My pre-worshipped goddess - Yamaha R1

Well thanks for all the wishes, but as usual bad luck seems to follow my bike like ants to sugar, so as you might have guessed already, another accident has occured, and this time while the bike was parked. Some idiots in a Maruti 800 attempting a fast and furious drift at god knows what speed rammed into the right side of the bike destroying the cranskcase cover again, the side panels again and the footrests again, even managing to wipe out the clutch guard. And even sadder was the fact that the cops was sitting like 20 m away drinking tea while this happened. So the bike is back in the KRP workshop, while I deal with the emotional stress of seeing an empty parking spot. And to make matters worse, I got my Go Pro Black, my new LS2 helmet and my one-piece racing suit delivered the day after I sent the bike in for repairs....So sadly I write this post, depressed as I wait for a new crankcase cover (Since it is not a consummable part and is for an older model so not easily available)

Man, that was a nasty hit

You sure have a bad luck with your mistress. Hope the parts are delivered soon and you get riding her back.
Better get some 'tantar mantar' done

Re: My pre-worshipped goddess - Yamaha R1

Damn... Hope KRP get the parts soon. Havent you asked those maruti guys to pay you for these? Should have done it.

Re: My pre-worshipped goddess - Yamaha R1

dafuq, mate! Did you catch the culprits or they just got away? Man, I hate to see your beloved in such condition.

Do keep us updated.

Well I know an update has been long outstanding, so baby has been back and is well and kicking, so thought I would treat you guys to the first Go Pro video I have made....Apologies for the external music, the wind effect made the original exhaust note sound horrible

Hope you guys like it and will post more videos in the future
