      Are you sure that such a windshield exists for the K1000?

            @ Bhandav. Thanks buddy.
            So you still remember my scale model promise!! Sorry, just been too busy with work and so the new (bigger) display stand is taking longer to build. But I wont disappoint you as there are lots & lots of new bikes waiting in the carton.

            @ Ken. Its not the Zed's windshield but a general one from Maier suitable for any naked bike. If u remember I had mentioned long back that it gives a pizza delivery bike look!

            @ Shades & 46wannabe. Thanks guys. This route needs to be actually ridden to experience the joy. BTW, there are many sports bikers in Jeddah, who dont know this route and feel very reluctant to go all the way there. They zoom & pull wheelies in the city but ignore this route. Do I call them posers!

            Any xbhp member passing by Jeddah- with some advance notice for a friday- I will take you there. Its an open invitation. I'll provide the helmet etc and you can ride my bike.

                Amazing pics. The Kwacker looks gorgeous
                Can't stop admiring the pipes, Very unique and VERY sexy

                And i'll take you up on that offer in a couple of decades. Be prepared..!!

                  Thanks Maverick46. Hope to see you soon here
                  Sometimes I think of changing to a Two Brothers exhaust for a deep grunt, but I just dont want to let go these pipes.

                    Haha, look at it again. I figured in the first look what Haroon meant.

                    @Haroon. Brilliant roads!! Foooh, would love to take a bike on such roads. Would be so much fun. I would do that stretch over and over again till I touch my knees. My god, brilliant ride Haroon. I prefer semi naked bikes or naked bikes to fully faired ones. Loved the pics of your Z1000. Nice to see the indian flag on your bike

                    P.S.: Wasn't aware of you owning a Kwacker too. How do you like the new k1300R? My personal favorite machine now

                        I'll be there in a couple of decades for sure Harroon..!!
                        Im sure that a pair of two-brothers will make the Kwacker sing, but those stock pipes look absolutely gorgeous.
                        Just for the looks, you might wanna stay eco-friendly (Read : Catcon intact) and Euro3 compliant

                          hala haroon bhai been a while since u posted and what a post right with a BANG
                          awesome pics and even a more awesome ride. sometimes i just wanna bring down my ninja there and ride in the western province. not much chance of twisties here in dammam side. plus after my last incident im still afraid to speed.

                          i believe i need those ear plugs u mentioned as there is a lot of wind entering the helmet and really bugs sometimes. well i may come down to jeddah in feb ill let u know.
                          i remember driving the z1000. it was really very comfortable and street savvy unlike my zx10r which i wont say is difficult but not excatly the z1000. haroon bhai time to get new silencers . hope to hear from u soon . keep on riding!!!!

                                Hi guys. Sorry, busy with with a seminar this week so late in catchingup.

                                @ Silver Falcon46- Nice to know lots of naughty like thinking minds
                                Believe me, naked bikes are a world by themselves if you have the inclination. My BMW dealership's owner rides the K1200R and that is one helluva brute bike. He is a good rider and goes neck to neck with the B-King. And it is unlike a regular BMW (from sound to looks to speed). Besides, it has standard Brembo brakes and the ABS/linked brakes etc which makes for much better stopping than its competitors. But u know whats my next bike and its probably the same color thats in your profile.

                                @ Pulsater. It is a fantastic bike as a city commuter. Its got looks, comfortable seating and adequate power for all the city riding stuff that you will ever need. Just need to make the seat a little softer.

                                @ Maverick46. I'll say instead of grapes are sour- I am eco-friendly.

                                @ Adil. Somehow like the looks of the stock exhaust (not the sound ofcourse). If you cant bring the ZX, if my beemer has the new battery I will ride that and you can ride my Z to the mountains. I'll sms u the ear- plugs contact in Dammam. You can buy it from there.

                                @ Kernel32. Got ur mob and I'll call you. Maybe this coming friday I'll take you and show you most bikes you would love to see. Shockingly for you, on the route to Durrat, I had the honour of taking a Saudi chick as a pillion 2 years back. More on that when we meet. And Yes, you can also ride my Z. Maybe the following week inshallah I can take you for a nice ride on the beemer after I get the new battery.
