I swear he is !! BIG RESPECT TO HIM !! It really takes some daring to leave ur daily chores and get on with someting like tis !! True maverick !!Originally posted by ken cool View PostThis guy is gutsy and amazing. This is only his 3rd outing with a bike in his life. First was when he did Saddle Sore about a year back, (did not get it ratified!) Second was when he went to some places in Punjab a few weeks ago. And now this!
** I look at my Aquila and whisper ... "soon" !! **
Amen !!Originally posted by ken cool View PostUpdates on the morning of June 2nd, 2009.
Reached Pune: 1618 Kms at 0528 hours.
His chain started emanating noises and he lost grip on his rear brake completely. He lost a lot of time trying to look for a place to get it fixed first at Himmatnagar and then at Gandhinagar. Currently he is also facing issues with his console that is showing erratic figures. Thus he is not sure of the speeds or distances covered. This seems to have demoralised him a little bit judging by the way he talked. After over 24 hours of riding, he sounds a little tired. But he is on his way back now. I hope he continues full power and nothing goes wrong with his bike anymore.Kawasaki Ninja : Because lazy sunday afternoons should be despatched at 160 kmph!!!
Hyosung Aquila : Because sometimes you need to look cool while riding at 40 kmph and you can do that only on a cruiser !!!

Latest news is Bad News!
Sunil Kapoor was just short of Gandhinagar when I got his call at 1816 hours wherein he missed his Bun Burner by 13 minutes. It is really unfortunate. But he is coming back t'row morning early to Delhi. Even if he missed the Bun Burner, he did a tremendous run. I will be going there t'row morning to receive him. If fellow xBhp-ians are interested, they can come along and join me to give him a warm welcome back! Please send me a PM.The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

Well if it just the Certificate then I would say Bad Luck, but believe me Sunil, the Attempt in itself was a certificate, so what if it does not come from the IBA, in our world you are already a CERTIFIED BUN BURNER....
you've been marvelousIts not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!

This is so bloody frustrating. Missing the certificate by just 13 mins is very bad. I am not sure whom to accuse. But at this time Bajaj's quality comes into question. I am sorry can not help. Nevertheless Sunil u did a great job and a marvellous ride. Kudos to you. The ride is nothing short of a great achievement. I hope in future you will achieve it.
