I just went through your whole write up in between a court break. Just couldn’t concentrate back on the case listed for later this afternoon. Stood up and requested for the case to be posted again tomorrow. That is how ridiculously entertaining your post is. Congratulations on owning two of the best in business. I will make it a point from here on about reading your posts while leaving from office or while retiring to bed.

High praise, counsel. I'm glad I was able to aid and abet in the tardiness of Indian jurisprudence.

In all seriousness though, genuinely grateful for your kind words. It only fans the fire to write more.

Smashingly entertaining writing BoltThrower. I absolutely loved reading every bit of it. And happy to see that you landed a pal’s blade and it remains with an enthusiast!!

Look forward to reading your ongoing adventures on both these steeds. Wish you many happy miles on both.

Cheers.

Take a bow, Mr. Bolt. What a write up! Now, this is the kind of post worthy of the hot threads list! Thoroughly enjoyed it with every line. It takes a special kind of courage to buy a 1200cc ADV which is.. as you said, a tusker in heat, espcially after seeing the odo figures. Those numbers alone would have given a seizure attack to a lot of Indian folk. Great post, filled with so many chuckles. Keep writing, keep us all entertained.

Cheers,

This has to be one of highest quality write-ups I've laid my eyes on, kudos!

After reading through the fireblade segment, getting to ride one is officially in my bucket list now!

[sunejarahul]

Crisp write up! I could sense the thrill while reading it all and I can only imagine what rollercoaster of emotions you might have gone through. Mere mortals would flinch at vehicles run half of that Tiger's mileage and might steer clear. I'll be keeping a keen eye on this thread for further experiences. For the younger enthusiasts and/or new riders, would you mind sharing more details about your purchases (read, monies!)?

Thanks Axe. The pal in question is riding to Siachen in a few days. I smell a great post if we can get him to write it

Thanks a bunch Doc_Nikhil. When it came down to it, I was placated about the odo figures after speaking extensively with the previous owner. Before we drove to Indore, he and I had had maybe 20 or so calls and he had patiently, even enthusiastically, answered all my questions going so far as to making detailed videos explaining all the various points we were discussing at the time. Appreciate the kind words and will keep the thread alive with updates. Much cheers.

Thank you kindly good sir, elampumpkin. The blade is best described as a force of nature. A tempest at the beck and call of your wrist.

Thanks Rahul. I think having a friend own and run a fully stocked and capable FNG adds a whole heap of confidence when making such purchases. In terms of monies, both vehicles cost me in the ballpark of 7-8 each. Cheers.

That's a biggie! I'm humbled and honoured, thank you Aditya. And thanks to the mods team at large for doing a stellar job. Cheers

Congratulations on the bikes, and what a lovely write-up! Rated 5 stars.

That "if you ride hard enough, you'll die and never need retirement money" is something I've told my best friend so often, and when I sent him a link to this thread, he texted me saying "When did you buy 2 new bikes?"

Thoroughly enjoyed reading, and I wish you millions of kms of fun on 2 wheels! Ride safe, and looking forward to reading the next updates.

This is surely one of the top write ups on our beloved forum. What a fantastic feeling I got while reading. It must have taken some time. Thanks for such a lovely write up.

Finding a used super bike like Fire-blade is a task in itself here. Great you got a real gem. I appreciate the expenditure figures you have shared. This thing holds many of us here to dive in the world of super bikes / bigg bikes. Buying a bike is relatively easy than maintaining it.

Pl keep this thread updated with your experiences and living together with these two gem of bikes.

Happy riding…

Cheers.

Thanks boniver. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with wonky finance ideas.

Thanks Guru_Shikhar. Your words are highly encouraging. I will post more updates as they happen. Been tinkering with the idea of doing a deep dive video on the cockpits of both bikes in the meantime. Cheers, and thanks again. Happy riding.

What a scrupulous write up!! Appreciate how benignant you're towards the Tiger 1200. I own a Tiger 800 xc. These machines run forever if looked after well. Your dual collection IMHO is a perfect combination that satisfies a marathon runner and a sprinter in you. Wish you many more safe miles mate.

Thanks Gypsian. I now joke about being halfway to having a perfect stable. All that's missing is a Brough Superior SS100 and a Honda CRF 450R. Let the kidney harvest begin!

All the very best for your future venture mate, albeit brough Superior being an over kill in terms of pricing, nevertheless a collectible. Coming to CRF 450, I don't understand the step motherly treatment of Honda towards India by not providing their world class products at reasonable prices or probably its our taxation policies which is keeping them away from launching great products, CRF 450 would be the only motorcycle most of the adventure fanatics would desire.
