    That is very strange to ride with one suit. I was really not confortable yesterday with my suit... Can't move properly, can't feel... lol.
    I have take too much time for putting and releasing it (especialy leg part) and some people laughted when they was looking me to try to put my suit .

    Not a lot of people yesterday, thas was good for trying to manage my new suit, my average time was 2m41s in full track, few second more than usual.
    But i was not confortable because the suit, there was wind and also interupted by some european cars came for 1 hour.

    The track director asked me about how i feel the track about the 're-heated' , personnaly i have felt nothing about this, i just saw the track have another color than usual in some area.

    I think i will buy one R15 in few month.

    Some pictures available here : Pictures
    Nice to c the pics of ferrari which is ma fav after Bugatti veyron.. And i know ull get tired.. Anyhow the bag looked too big... so are you coming on next sunday or not ?? i have lots of checklist to be done before i hit the track.. clean my fuel filter.. fuel pipe.. air filter element.. chain lubrication.. if you are buying a bike specially for track u can opt for r15.. and moreover u can wait.. for ur height this bike wont be perfect.. ull get backpain problems within some months.. So its upto u.. spending a 1lakh must give you benefits n everyway.. so watchout.. lols this is only my point of view. dont wanna disapoint r15 owners cuz they are king in track..

      Personally i prefer Aston martin cars (british).

      I want to buy one R6, but for the moment no money for this (and also i am not enough good for handle this ...). Then i will buy one R15 (red) only for the track. That will be better than my pulsar. But for the moment i will continu with my pulsar i need to find how to feel something with my suit ...

      I saw yesterday 2 r15 which was very slow , because i have overtaken them (that have took some laps for that lol, because hard to overtake, because in the end of turn they accelerate better than me. I was only able to overtake in the entry of turn when they was very wide. They was slow and wide in each turn, but i was not enough comfortable to overtake).

        Wise choice mam wise choice,Wait for next month there is a bright red coloured R15 coming to showroom
        Yeah, one Ferrari, amazing sound lol. Previously, i saw also some Porsche and Mercedes very early by the morning (few month ago) in the track. But that was the first Ferrari i saw in India.

        • @camille - y don't you get a decent 15 in seconds and keep it for your track practice ? I think putting in 1.08 lakh for track usage alone means, you have lots of money to throw around.:-)
          whats your height by t way ?
          @punisher - you have riding gears ?

            Good question... Maybe not necessary... but...

            Probably i find the R15 better than other bike here (for the track) and also more beautiful.
            I am only interesting by the track... for the feelings... for relaxing ... and for forgetting myself...
            On the road i can't drive because that is too dangerous, especially in India.

            We can start to get feeling with these low power bikes only in the turns... because not enough power for feeling acceleration strength and not enough speed for braking hard .

            Before, when was teenager, i never liked bikes or cars... but after started to enjoy feeling from cars, then i started to like this. And now i am looking for bike, because with less money we can get more feeling than with cars. And, i don't know what to do else .

            Then i will probably buy one R15 for waiting one R6. I really hope to buy one R6 at the end of next year (if still in India). Then i have time to train hard (2 time per month) before getting one R6 .

            • @ camille - i was just suggesting you. I have just got a 2nd hand R15 a couple of weeks back. I felt, for thrashin a bike in track, you don need a new one. Then always you can graduate to a bigger bike. Also i still feel, for riding in t city, my p150 suits better, but 15 gives better poser values within city.

              • Yes, i will not necessary to buy a new one. Because else, need to do the running period... One R15 with 6000 kms will be good.

                            well..that was my friend and me(the blue R15). I wasnt pushing the bike very hard because i dint want to provoke my friend who is a beginner and it was his first time in the track. But, eventually, he crashed at corner C8 and retired. And then i started pushing the bike a bit and averaged around 2:40 whereas initially it was only about 2:50-2:55. The wind was pretty high, and i wasnt very comfortable with that too.

                            The best i could manage was 2:36s. But, i do agree that you were a much better rider who could take the corners very well and could have done well with a better bike!

                            will post some pics later.

                              Are you kidding me.....? i have a helmet and a safety shoe(Courtesy, my company). U know, the kind of safety shoe weared by ppl in railways, heavy with metal padded toe protection. I never use it except when i enter installation zone.But it has some ankle protection too.

                              Man, i was looking for a vehicle for nearly 4 months. Just got one. I finished it for 75 k. post repair/ service /insurance/ name transfer works cost 3.5 k.

                              vehicle is decent enough. Just give a look when u come for the track day. Plenty are available in 2nds. Its just that we done come to know it.
