Leaning over II

With this post some might call me a narcissist but I love motorcycles and I love when i'm on one. This is a series of pics that i especially like. Riding around with my buddy in tow, we weren't really scrapping, but it was great fun finally running amok on the track with him. All those years of carving through traffic on the daily commute had us just waiting for this. Sigh! I miss the good ol'days.

Leaning over

So as promised earlier, these are the real pics that i'd like to post of the Trackday last month. All pics are of me, i love the mohawk so if you don't, I'd like to know bout it. And then, put a sock in it. Yes, the knee sliders were placed in the wrong spot.

A lesson to be learnt from this pic is never try and pass an experienced racer when you're on a slower motorcycle. I now need a new pair of riding pants and have no money to buy them :( Donations to the usual account.

Beauty lies in the eye behind the viewfinder

OKAY!! If you insist!



But i beg to differ!

Eye of the Storm

This is the Eye of the Storm, not to be mistaken for the Eye in the Sky. When you're flying a small airplane the the latter is also known as TCAS or a Weather Scope, NexRad or the like. The former of course is often the portal to the after life.

Trendsetter?

As i prepare to take a couple of tests next week, studying has picked up and with studying comes the usual dabbling. Ideas of the different kinds of motorcycles I want to build are churning slow and deliberately in the back of my head. And along with the ideas are vivid pictures of naked, stripped down machines that are almost never seen on Indian roads. We're the species who thinks more for the price of less is always a bargain. 'Faantashtic!' even as Russel Peters puts it. But until i learn how to draw a straight line with a ruler, and put my ideas down on a piece of paper, you people are going to have to settle for photographs. This is a motorcycle I've been building for a while. Constant evolution and bucket loads of sweat and bloody fingers will ensure that she's going to be stunning. And hopefully even start a trend. So please rise and give it up for the first Bare Nekkid Lady...Layla!

PS: Since this blog was started to discuss my efforts with the camera, may be i need to go up one stop for that kind of light. No?
