Was in the same basement parking lot yesterday and there was a spanking new (temp plates) blue Harley Davidson Street Bob. Too dark to take a pic. Looks like there are quite a few biking afficianados in this building. Can't wait to move there. lol

Hi Bivin
No these two busa owners are not related. Friends though
and surely those were eye candies

Sweet pictures Ram . Nice to see a group of Busas together. Theyve come out well under the street lights. Missing one certain bike in the picture though

May be the case where the Intruder owner had a visitor. Lets see if we am able to spot it on my visit there soon, unless I decide not to disturb you if it's well past mid-night when I hit the place.

Hey Manson,

i guess you are one of the sunday morning riders to khopoli and beyond. Well last sunday i was out on a ride myself. on my gsx400 inazuma. i had stopped just before the vashi bridge on palm beach road, waiting for some buddies to catch up

was looking at my rear tyre wear when a rider on a gsx1000r came by. saw me looking under and actually stopped and turned and came back to ask if i needed help

really appreciated the gesture. if you know who it was or if its someone who is a member of this forum "thanks buddy"

Regards

Well, now this is definitely not done.

Just kidding bro. Do post some pics of your ride and some riding experiences as well.

P.S. Manson rides a Honda CBR 1000RR.

Yes, I used to be one of the regulars till a few months back, haven't been riding at all off late thanks to a hectic schedule and the 954's recently acquired demanding ways.
I'm guessing it was a bronze/black gixxer rider who stopped by for you, thats Devang. He rides out almost every Sunday morning if he isn't travelling.

That means there were three groups riding.

We were on our way too offroad. I did pass a white Busa with a single digit registration no. That group collected themselves just at the start of the old highway, the busa was the last bike to join them.
Then there were my friends who i met at Mcdonalds and they were going to ride back to town as it was getting hot.
Now you mention another group that passed you'll. The sun shine has got all the power houses out to play. I just love it
