Race Pace

You don't go to Singapore to watch F1 and not post pics. I was rooting for Brawn GP but 5th and 6th was as far up the order as they could climb.

Marshals in their little safe box are a sight for precision, safety and then even more precision. Every time they go out, it's the most dangerous 90 minutes of their lives.

Fisi doing his thing. I don't blame him for what's going on. From purely an Indian perspective, it's like asking Sissy Tendulkar to bat for Kenya and win the match.

Like my buddy said, these tickets are worthless, they go by so fast! I've put in a requisition in triplicate with the FIA asking them to slow cars down the next time he's watching.

I hate that's he's going to be at Ferrari next season. I hope Massa's going to open a can of Whoopass on him

Thanks to Sutil we got to hear the safety car scream by.

If the F1 car makes you go deaf, the safety car will cure it.

Just a screen grab... like the angle on it.

Let me not have to to say this again! If an Indian owns something, it does not assume Indian-ness no matter what it's called! Force India is definitely not Indian and if you feel compelled to be a fan, GO WATCH CRICKET!

It takes all kinds to complete an F1 race.

Was hoping to get a piece of it. Guess the pic will have to do for now

Wagging the Wheel

I found this pic while rummaging through my home computer.Now i know i'm usually one to brag, but this one's serious. I pulled out of the pit garage for the first time back in Jan 2006. Bike was just built and hurriedly put together for this track day. It arrived late and i had to put it all together coz i had only one day of riding. Carbs on - check. Fairing on - check. Bolts secured - check. Shit!!! I forgot the Motul. Borrow some - check. Fire her up. Braap braap braap. Warm up - check. Get on, engage first and pull out of the second garage in the pits. I've wrung it just over half way and this is what happens.



Crossed up and SCARED SHITLESS.
It's such a great feeling to put blood sweat, time and money to build something that scares you each time you get on. And if you break it, you know can do it all over again.

You can be part of madness just like this. The guys at indiMotard Adventures who organise these track days are at it again and will be having a proper race school in the coming months. Stay tuned for more.

Tales Of The Twisted Throttle


Dirt, mud, river, rocks, slush, twisties, tarmac, trails... Yes, I was out riding.



Those kids happened to catch my eye as i blazed past. They were doing what was the equivalent of Noodling but they'd beat any redneck at it, for the fish were about 2 inches long.



The irony of the red-neck(ish) situation is that the kid to the right appeared to be the other kid's 'Man Friday'. He wasn't allowed to speak to me even though i conversed in the local tongue and it took a bit to persuade Friday to stand in on the pic too. No prizes for guessing who caught the fish. ;)



Trip cost:Rs 508.50
Distance covered: 327km
Total time: 6 hours
The sticker on the side of the bike is of a friend's Motorcycle Adventure company IndiMotard Adventures. Must see!

PS: Excuse the poor quality pics, they were off a E50 cell phone camera. :)
