    Got registered at orion for the R15 race. Bikes will need to be dropped off on 16th morning and the bus to MMSC will leave by 8pm on 17th, Friday. 18th is a track practise by Bike India Editor, Aspi from 10am till 5pm. All in batches of 6 riders.
    Accomodation will be provided by Yamaha India at a Hotel near the track (Guess its paramount Inn or Coromandel). Food will be provided by will have to paid by riders.
    All riders must compulsory bring their riding gears. 19th is the race.
    Also there are two new classes in the race.
    Group B and Group C.
    Group B consists of riders who have some prior track experience, but not any team/factory riders. Only private owners of R15.
    Group C is for pure newbies who have never had hands on before at a track. Prize money and race grids will vary according to the classes.

    P.S. Also its recommended that owners make necessary arrangements to make sure the bikes are free from damage. Use tapes or packings at crucial places on the bike to ensure the bike is free from exposed damages.

    Hope this was informative.

          Wish things were as easy as just grabbing bikes.

          PS: Why don't you fit R15's body onto your R1?

                    @Nav - You cant loan a bike either. Buggers are strict and now verify your name against the RC book. Last race a few fraudulent entries came up.
                    No team/factory/expert riders allowed.
                    This is to promote the R15 owners wonly itseems.
                    Lets see how it goes.

                          Awww ... Any idea for how long this event will run? I hope its still there the time I buy R15 (if I do).
                          You in group B, because you have taken part in couple of races or is it that any one who has ridden on any track before goes into group B?

                            Anybody who has some track experience can get to group B.
                            Again, they dont classify riders. You have a choice to select B or C. I chose B coz it does not make sense to me to ride with newbies. Need some good competiton. Nav you can easily ride in group B.
                            There are 3 rounds more, including this months.

                            @^ - If the bike is in your fathers/brothers/mothers/sisters name, they can surely relate it with your surname. They will let you take part. Your father/m/b/s will have to come along for the registration.
                            But you cant ride your friends bike.

                              This sucks for R15 owners whose bike aint in their name.. There'll definitely be quite a few people in this category methinks
