hey thanks buddy!!...yeah even i was looking for friends on xbhp from cochin...i would love GTG's in cochin..so scrap me when you guys are planning in may...
yes, infact , its been 1 year since our last big G2G happened @ fort cochin.. the prob is that most of the XBhp guys r engaged in work or studies [ some students r there too].. We had plans for a trip to Valparai and a Trichur G2G.. it seems like its the right time we should conduct one.. since everyone will be happy to see an SBK in the Xbhp gang.. let me inform others and i will let u know..

Congrats man..! I like you style of pursuing your dreams. Me too belongs to that category. BTW, where do you work? in UAE? me too from the same place and I ride an FZ6 here. Basically from kerala, calicut. If you are around lets see if we can catch up. I am planning to ship my FZ home for my bro and will be getting myself an FZ1. I've been to the recent bike show in dubai and saw the 09 R1. It's just awsome. Since I was a previous customer, the yammie fellas offered me some good discount on the current models (except the 09 R1 and Vmax). Well, though I adore the ONE, I have decided that it is not the right kinda bike for me, considering the agressive riding position. It doesnt go well with by back. I have ridden R1s CBRs and the 08 Busa and they are marvellous machines. But somehow, I am seriously in love with the FZ1 considering the respectable power, ease of commuting and the 'practicability' of that bike.
hi cycofz6...well i work in kazakstan but i live in kerela...i am a driller so i work 4 weeks work and 4 weeks off...actually i had always dreamed of the R1 even from college days so it was a dream come true and to have an SBK in kerela is not like it in dubai...in dubai u have it for your purpose but here it is just fun ride in the night or mornings or weekends!!...and about importing it from dubai i had tried it before but there is too much paer work and too much oney involved that you end up paying 2 times the amount of your bike!!!...it just too much trouble man!!!..so by the way what do u do in dubai???
