    Please do inform me about the tank-mount; everything about it! Where do I order it from, for my P200. I have been searching for one since long now.

      The video was amazing in a scary way Manan got some real talents but should be a bit more careful

      Then it was the sound of the one that made me view the video twice.. WOW what a tune.. The sound itself makes you wish to ride one.. Someday

        If you have noticed on the log, I left home at around 0400 hours but managed to reach the bypass only by 0630 hours. All that time lost looking for gas, stopping in the rain, putting on and taking off the raincoat... what a mess. And then us bikers, en route we took breaks totaling over 5 hours!

        Finally reached Kharapathar at after 2000 hours!

        Enjoyed reading the logs....and the video was great...RTR was just zipping ahead....great ride there Manan.
        I managed to take only 4 shots on my ride to Khirsu....coz of rains.
        Thanks.

        Last night during dinner with some xBhp members, we were precisely discussing the skill aspect of Manan's riding.

        It is a pity that you did not get to shoot Khirsu. It is such a beautiful place.

        Do not laugh... but it is true what I am going to say... search for the camera tank mount of the Ninja250R on the net. It is a direct fit on the 220 and the 200!!!

        Totally agree with the part of Manan being more careful. Do send him a PM regarding this.

        And I hope that your wish comes true in the not so distant future!

            Saw the video last night&went to sleep dreaming!
            That guy sure ought to be on the tracks.
            Wish I could see the R1's speedo a bit clearer though.

              Interesting log there and nice video. The traffic in the hills is very depressing at times. When I go past good corners with traffic I always wonder, I wish I could've taken this corner much faster!

              Waiting for the rest..

                    Not done. Out here when it rains it pours and yet we have to shoot. Carry a umbrella or better still buy a raincover for your SLR. You'll get it for around 2k in delhi itself!!

                      Hey Jukebox. Good to see you. Raincover for my SLR? Never heard of such a thing! Wish I knew earlier!

                        Yes, I have seen such a 'rain-cover' for my 400D at some shop in Chandni Chowk about a year back! I think I'll get one in a few days, as my heart wants to ride out to the hills yet again!

                          Wow! That video is special. Going like that turns after turns needs some talent. Maybe due to narrow cam angle, but some overtaking maneuvers seemed outright risky and too much dependent on other drivers' judgements.

                          Anyways, I am downloading that video right now!
