same thoughts. Anyways, I am sure there is more for you than just 100 footling kms.

vow.. that must have been indeed an awesome lifetime experience.. seeing the world passing by at 200+kmph..
so now its time for you to change the "Maxumum Speed attained on a motorcycle" in "About Me" section ...

Thumbs up to Sandeep Sir for trusting someone with his bike...and not just any bike....it takes a lot of faith and big heart to let someone ride your SBK.
Being a SBK onwer myself....i know how hard it is. But the look on someones face after they get a ride is priceless.....aint no master card buying that look...

Congrats on tasting SBK blood. Keep on dreaming bud...it will come true eventually.

Ride safe floks

this is what I feel, when u feel the power of the beast under you and you pour it down in words...beautifully written Suni bhai.... its like touching the sky with your feet on the grounds.... great great great..... hoping to meet you soon brother..till then take care and ride safe

kudos to all of you to complete this whole trip.....

aahaa realy very nicely writen!!!!!!!!!!!

What every biker wants - by Sunil Gupta.
That was the preface btw.

Here's wishing you a lot more chapters to your Superbiking experiences Sunil.

God bless!

Great Read Sunil ji.. I know how u must have felt on the R1...a week back i had a chance to sit on the Might R1..and boy-O-boy she is huge..and you can feel the immense power underneath you before you even start her up..

^^ Tell me about it! I once sat on a lime green Ninja 636.....these bikes and their ergos are to die for. Although, some actually die out of fatigue due to their crazy positions. :P But hey life's too short to miss out on such a feeling, right?

Yes dude ur right..."life is short to miss out such a thing" ... Yeah it was great feeling to just sit on it for a couple of Minutes... .. I have seen plenty of SBKs up close..but i havent sat on till last week on a R1... The feeling is so good..that you feel you want her right away..

I guess we are going OFF the Topic here... I will surely share my Experience some day soon...!!

Hi GG,, really emotional. you made my day.
Everytime i read an emotional experience from a biker friend i'm amazed with the fact that the emotion is sooo similar even without experiencing it firsthand, yet we being different people from different place. Is biking such a thing that it evens out all the differences? I guess it is and once again proud to be a biker and that i met and read about you all.

gr8 writeup Sunil. Could totally relate with your feelings. As mentioned in an earlier thread, i managed to ask Sunny if i could sit on the R1 and take a few snaps when we were at the Banyan tree (on the way to Nandi hills). I was petrified just to sit on it and after sometime actually had goose pimples just sitting on it. Now imagine if i had got a chance to ride, would have surely jumped from here to the moon and back

so now that Baptism is over, when is the confirmation

@sunil: personally mate, you gotto have some serious guts to ride the GIR 'one' to 200+.
i mean, any other R1 is understandable but this is 'THE' GIR ride man!!! you mess up something and ...
anyways, very emotionally put there. now time to get married to one bhai...

Thanks man. . Tire? You better ask this question to Sunny and Old Fox bro. If you are not on highway, this thing is pretty tiring. While braking every milligram of your body weight comes on to your shoulders and wrists. You need to have a very high stamina level to ride it to long distances like these guys did. I once rode it from Allepey towards Munnar on that bumpy hill roads and within few minutes i was thinking of going back on my R15 .

Thanks mate.

Amen.

.

Yeah, though doesn't last for more than a few seconds, but indeed it is an awesome experience. And, thanks for the reminder.

Exactly bro! It takes balls to trust somebody with these big machines.

Couldn't have put it in better words, trying to touch the sky with the feet on the ground. See you soon bro, very soon.

Glad you liked it bro.!!!

Thanks bro, i wish the same for you. Hey thats a great title if i ever come up with a book on all my sbk riding experiences

Exactly bro, you know how it feels.


True bro, the emotions are same. No matter who you are, where you are, or what language you speak. The spirit of biking is what keeps us all together.

Thanks bro . Just pray for me

married? Yeah, its high time indeed . But they are asking for too much in dowry and i am against giving it

your true emotions are there in your writeup bro....

Great writeup Sunil!

Loved this line - 'But I was determined not to let that power corrupt me' .
