      And also, in your vid, that crash was nasty !! 600 looks smashed.. could not help but think about what happened with you ... Thank God you safe... but I wanted to know what happened exactly and what gears you were wearing, how you got saved etc....
      '08 Fireblade at MMSC chennai. About 200kms+ of track time and some little bits and pieces in Germany. I will be at the Nurburgring track this june ripping the Blade to feel and be one with the Blade. Much of what I wrote was fanboy talk though Not everything was my own experience either.

      The crash was bad man I still get bad dreams about it. To be honest I am reeling so hard under its psychological after effects its hard to talk about it. Had the crash been on the track I wouldnt give a rats ass. But this was on the streets..
      I still dont know how I survived..a head on collision with an Eicher truck
      Eye witnesses narrated me later of how I escaped and it sounds too good to be true. I must have survived for a reason is how I looka at it and move on. I was kitted to brim including Astar race class bionic back protector, kidney belts, riding boots et all.
      I will explain more about the crash later. Gotta go for now..ciao mate..and let some blade gyan fly my way..whatever is in your capacity !

        • Third service @ 10400 Kms odo reading.

          Front and rear brake pads changed, Headlight bulb changed to Philips XP moto ( a slight increase of maybe 15 % brightness)

          Air filter was a graveyard of all sorts of insects. It was vaccumed and blown..
          Front tyre changed finally. It was pending as front stand was needed for it.
          Some pictures:




          Mr. Ashok, worked non stop on the bike in spite of him not feeling well, and a bad pain in his arm... Hats off to him. People like him makes Honda and her customers proud



          Mr. Ankush took feedback every 2 mins, delaying the service..
          May the torque be with you..

                  • nice to have the bike serviced right in front of you right ? at first when i looked at the third pic , i thought the monster R1 was there to make sure the blade got the best service ... and then I saw the green smiley and that made a lot of sense
                    People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

                          • You're feeling the difference with the front tire on? Because the braking is mostly from the front, how much of a advantage/disadvantage from the feel of the previous tire?

                            And what about fuel? Using any octane boosters?
                            You get the point?? :D

                            • Yes, xameen aasman ka farak hai... front tyres play a major role in handling it seems. Even a slight tyre pressure change is felt...
                              not using any boosters, as i have not read anywhere about their usefulness ... i am happy with normal fuel... this has opened new opportunities ... (like long rides)
                              This winter I am riding to Delhi...

                                and i thought i might see the twins somewhere in Digha/Farrakah barrage/ Darjeeling/Gangtok side...

                                Delhi, winters.... hmmm, seems a good idea.
