      A hot knife through butter through the hosur road, silk board traffic while grabbing attention galore at the lights with her menace !
      A 195 kms to and fro trip with a pillion and quite a few breaks for the beloved arse !
      A great first longish haul on her ! All fuel bars down ! Another tankful awaits, this time from SHELL to find, if there is a difference
      Let the Pictures do the talking ! Few other faster ones lead the pack

        Glad to do so ! Dreams are meant to be strived for, come what may !
        Surely, lets do it by 2016

        Roadbuster inspires a lot of confidence !
        It was my first ever longish ride on anything more powerful than my R15, with a 70 kg pillion and, not for a moment, did I feel like I was out of control or intimidated. Not even we rode the grass filled up with shells or when I duck feet her backwards for around 50 meters when I missed a road.

          I see you went to Krishnagiri dam. Must have gotten too hot, eh?
          Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

            Well, we left at around 0630 and reached there around 0830, after a break of around 30 minutes at the MacD. By the time we reached, it was, indeed, pretty hot out there. The mercury continued going north on our way back ! We made our way back in a little over an hour's time.

            Thing to note is the temp never went past 102 degs. The heat never made it to the rider. The few hot touches that I felt, on my legs from the engine, for the first few days were gone, thanks to the engine guard !

            Next ride has to be to a cooler place

              Posting this query in both Sourjya's and Sreeni's threads:

              What is the minimum down payment required while booking the z800? Also, what is the price of faired 1000cc Ninja BTW?

                Wednesday Morning Ride Update

                Distance - 14.5 Kms
                From - Home @ BTM 2nd stage
                To - Work Place @ Yemalur
                Route - BTM - Udupi Garden Signal - Silk Board - Outer Ring Road - Bellandur Main Road - Yemalur Road - Technopolis
                Start Time - 0945
                End Time - 1035
                Top Speed - 94
                Highest Temperature - 101 deg C
                Traffic - OMG ! WTF !
                Oops moments - 0

                I am pleased to report that Roadbuster has, again, come out with flying colors !
                I was a bit apprehensive about riding through rush hour traffic through broken roads and dust trails to my office. Well, I decided to do it. I decided to do this when i saw Google Maps showing a much more than usual congestion levels throughout the route and congested it was !
                Movement from Agara Lake to Sarjapur signal, hardly any movement, would have made my R15 smoke my calf but not here. The dusty (almost off road service ) just before Sarjapur signal was dealt with shocking ease as I was expecting the tyres to struggle without tarmac at low speeds. Cutting through little spaces is as easy. People give way without the horn. Ignored many drooling eyes at signal.

                Inference - Daily Commute to Office is possible !
                Side Note - Shell petrol seems to make the machine go smoother and run a few degs cooler ! It is Shell from now on.


                More updates to come after the evening ride back home *Knocking On Wood with Crossed Fingers*

                        For z800, the booking amount is 1lac, and the minimum downpayment is around 2.5lacs (1lac booking + 1.5 dp). You can negotiate the minimum downpayment with the financer and get it down to 2lacs or something.

                                I have a question, what are the two wires that come of the throttle part of the handlebar. These are not connected and just left there with a socket at end of each wire.
