        So, it must be completed as i went in April, so the Traffic is even less by now.. Actually the location is where there are 4 intersections on the highway where we turn up for Tanjore, Chennai, Madurai & Trichy Market.

            Just so true.

            Went through the whole log and am glad at the fact that at almost no point did you push yourself.
            Weren't you carrying a clear visor?

            Keep us updated about the certification.

I enjoy hell a lot in ride rather than a drive & its my personal opinion though & it may differ to others... No dudgeon meant...
            Bad weather= rains?
            Start riding in the rain and you shall never look back.
            Car=passenger/weddings etc.

              I meant Downpour, not heavy drizzles.

                @bluevolt: The seats were sparing compared to the 220. But it certainly did hurt towards the end. What are these gel pads? Can you point me to some good links? I think I'll buy them.

                @sheelpriye: Yes, I was. But it is a few months old. Although it had very less scratches and looked very clean, the micro scratches were giving rise to glares.

                  @xinfii: praveen, gel pads are liquid filled pouches commonly used in cars to spare the rider of sores. I've seen it at my friends place, but he is unable to source them now. let me know if you are getting them. I need a few myself.

                    .
                    I'm not sure about the links - I saw a few when I was in Japan, but they seemed to be domestic brands. I did not buy them ($100 or so) since I was running out of money. But I know Corbin makes seats specifically for the Ninja and are expensive, very much so.
