Well, spares for a sportsbike is always about looking at the right places, according to most superbike owners I have talked to. Regarding this, it isn't much of a problem.

Thanks, augusta.

Leathers it is! Well, my bank account should start filling in again.


Thanks, Ace.

We'll take the looting over PMs?

Yaar, sorry. I've been extremely busy over the past weekend and this, and the bike is in service right now. But as you said a good photosession is due, surely by this weekend after a weekend ride to somewhere.


And you will too...

Yes, kiran. Amazing ride it was!

Thanks, moeed.


@ALL: Apologies for the delay of pics. The bike has been given for service since the past few days, and there are minor issues that need to be sorted out. Fork seals need to be changed, and just got 4 packs of 1L 5W40 Factory Line 300V yesterday. After the service and a good wax job, a good photo feature is surely coming up by end of the this weekend.

^Which shall be done as part of a ride with the full monty...
Don't you dare say otherwise !!

Congratulations on your new ride Pranay. She does look beautiful. Waiting for more pics from you.

This is a big surprise! congrats from my side too Pranay.... Enjoy your riding, and don't forget ur old love ..... and the other riders in the group behind you!

Is the chicken dance show over? Besides, it would be fun to have a SBK tail a group of unicorn/pulsar/R15 bikers! heh!

Prajwal

Good morning saar..!!

Precisely what I was typing.

@Bandhav: Welcome to xBhp!

@Pranay: Any plans for track meets with your CBR

hey pranay congrats bro.... now we can see you on the 954 more than the 220 on G2g's

Congratulations Pranay! Nice write up and pictures! I've been on the mysore-bandipur route enroute to ooty in June... the speed breakers are indeed annoying and part of the stretch from gundlurpet to bandipur was messed up big time! Anyway i hope your having a great time with the bike now!

Congratulations again!!!
Ride Hard & Ride Safe!
Cheers!

Thanks, bro. Its been a long time since we met. How about joining in http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/xbhp-off...-aug-09-a.html

Thanks, Prajwal! Chicken dance not over yet! I will gladly tail behind you. Provided I start 30 minutes after you leave!


Thanks, Bandhav.

Thanks, satyen. Yes, the bike has an after market micron slip on.

No, dude, no track meets on the CBR.

Thanks Mibhin. Long time no see again. Try to come for the DD Hills G2G this sunday. It would be great.

Thanks, Kwokfist! Yes, absolutely messed up fork breakers between Mysore and Gundalpet.


Update on the CBR:
I am still to get delivery on the BumbleBee since the fork seals took time to arrive before the weekend. It has arrived now, and that basically is the only issue that is left. The H-Vix servo motor has also gone kaput, but replacing that is going to cost me a bomb, and the only issue if you run without it is missing low end torque, some top end boost. But no long term damage to the bike, it's going to be running a little slow - since I don't intend to be pushing the envelope soon, I am going to be skipping replacing the H-Vix motor as of the current moment.

I can't wait to take it out for a spin!

BumbleBee is back and up 'n' running.

John and I went for a short ride to Devanahalli Airport to check out the difference after service. And it was behaving, handling, powering, pulling, braking beautifully.
