      Plus hey.....the R6 styling is brilliant. So that is why i decided on the R6. Plus its a Yamaha....its got crazy in its blood....
      Yamaha= hooligan, crazy, mad, insane.
      Honda= good boy, sedate, elegant.

      Now I have a sneaky suspicion, the 'R' genes in the R15 aint from the R1.... Its from the R6!!
      You get the point?? :D

        Awesome write up and pics Carl, the feeling that there is still another gear left to shift seems like that the rpm can just go on and on .....
        Ride hard and safe...

                Nice ride and adrenaline pumped write up! Like you just came back from a ride astride your R6.

                The quote, man, I know what your talking about. About 4 years back I had a crash on a 180 just like this. Was taking a corner a little too quick and for a split second, I thought, what if there was some water(a puddle of water I had driven thru a km back) at the side of the tyres , thats it! The next second, I'm seeing myself rocketing into a big bush half way round the curve at 90kmph. If there was any thing other than the bushes, I would've been history. The bike was famished although I lived to tell the tale. The bush had taken the full impact. Losing concentration while negotiating a tight curve can be disastrous! From then on, Old Fox's article - 'Sense and Sensibility' has made a lot more sense.

Although i am trying to recruit another friend to take some shots and videos from a car later this week. For now....i will post up a trip log with pictures. Believe me, the pictures are total eye candy.
