nah, I did not get any jhad ... got home, rested for like an hour, then headed out to get the bike a wash.. then zipped around doing brake tests as i was freaking about how it had gone bad after that diesel spray.... my granny was a bit worried about my whereabouts , but other than that, everything was fine ..

gr8 to see the blade doing roadtrips but I must frankly say one thing, it steals all the votes in looks dept when kept with our lovely gorgeous Indian Perf bikes

Sorry to knw what happened to jonak and svj... are you guys and your rides alright.. I hope nobody had any serious injuries including that unlucky lamb

Unforntunately, I am still dying to get hands on a Blade 09 for a long enough time. Maybe soon. Expecting another ride on the weekend!

Nah, no one had any serious injuries. My ankle was sprained, but its much better now.

The lamb was cool. It got up and simply walked away.....

And for the weekend, lets see....

Loved the way Ani has put it. "Ema, tata sumo er tyre.... " or "Jah, 2 pillions will not be able to sit".

By the way, Vishal deserves a big thanks. He is so down to earth and always smiling. I was leading the whole ride. I fixed some rules like no overtaking among riders, no drag, disciplined riding. Anurag aka Motormania was tailing us in his Aveo. I was keeping a close look at my RVM. Vishal was just behind me in the second position. He never overtook me once in the whole ride. He is so easy to ride with. Thanks Vishal.

hey guys....what say another ride out tomorrow?

Thank you. I will keep that in mind. Started PP from 11.30pm and finished around 4 in the morning.My PC is currently in very bad shape( imagine one with 128mb ddr1 ram). And today I realized after looking at them that some look over-processed.

All are clicked with my humble digital camera , Sony cybershot DSC w80.

Im an active reader of that website to, but Im not a member. Will join tonight then.

Thank you mg da.

Ooops, i forgot to click.
I had some work and i decided to ride a little fast in rajarhat as roads were empty. I was doing around 115 and svj was right behind me. I knew there was a corner and i slowed down to 80ish before entering the corner but svj crossed me. Initially i thought it would be another one of those footpeg scraping corners that he does on the r15. But he locked up his backwheel and then released it and lost the line of the corner in the process. Went flying into the field on the side. Grass saved both rider and the bike.
@svj yea dude it was some sight. Flying r15 and then a cow running with its tail up.

Yes.It was my first "official" xbhp g2g !! I hope we keep having more.

Thank you.
Thank you. Yes, some are over processed.

Thank you. Tomorrow is too early...everyone will not be informed .Make it next saturday, we can go to kolaghat or any other place, this time on NH6 !
@fireblah, here you go..


Thank you!
Guess what, while coming back from shaktigar, fireblah gave all 3 of us a chance to ride the blade !!
I will describe the experience later..!!
And i cant thank the man enough.

thank you nabendu da.

Good photography and nice log. Interesting.

btw. SVJhonda also had a crash ????

EDIT: just read all the pages. Got it. Get well soon bro SVJhonda.

Me not once but twice.
I was surprised by the confidence with which Vishal was riding the blade in riverbed and also in the village road. At one point of time I could not resist myself from jumping into the riverbed and to do some offroading in the sand. Ani also followed me. I asked Vishal to wait at the riverbank as the blade does not have a flame slider. Soon I found he too is following us. Man!!! he was so confident. And was riding the blade like a pro. kudos to you man!!
We all found Blade very easy to ride.

Its actually called a Frame slider
