Life @ 160+ kmph! July 24, 2006

Wooooooooohooooooooooo! Just had one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life! A good friend of mine (Anshu) recently bought a bike, well not just any bike – but a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R super bike (select the ZX-GR model from menu, also read a review here) and he came over to my place tonight to take me for a ride! Wooohooo and what a ride it was! I’m still shaking thinking of it!

The first time Anshu accelerated from some 30 kmph to 120 kmph, I was like – “holy f*ck – this is awesome!”. We went from Old Madras Road to the Indiranagar – Koramangala ring road where he ripped some more on what is probably the best road for ripping in Bangalore! It didn’t stop there, somewhere near Koramangala, we turned and headed back on the ring road and we had some clear road and Anshu (being Anshu) accelerated even more and God, the turns were really scary! Apart from the speed, what was even more scary was that there wasn’t any proper place to hold on to for the pillion, I was hugging the fuel tank for dear life so tight my hands are aching now! We soon (very, very soon actually!) reached the new airport road junction flyover, and that’s when he got even more crazy and suddenly set off with a wheelie that nearly threw me off the bike and that’s when we touched around 160+ kmph!! Amazing acceleration, never experienced such a rush before! God I loved it!

It was my first time on a real superbike and like another friend said “Speed is orgasmic”. Amen to that.

    You must be working too hard.

    I miss your book reference list.

    Ive been forbidden to visit for some reason but thats not going to stop me.
    Its like, I always read your blog, but when you don’t post that often,I miss you, even though I don’t know you.
