Long time listener first time caller. Don’t see too many of these. I love this bike. Had a 2006 katana it was very reliable and fun to ride, but it was time to upgrade. This thing slaps.

finished in around ~2hrs (not counting a quick stop at juhu beach to enjoy the beautiful mumbai sunset)

Handmade Exhaust by my Father!!

I took the AlpineStars out for a nice jaunt along the canal towpath this afternoon. Nothing too adventurous; primarily hard pack and some very light gravel, except for the small stretch of really jagged gravel that I had to traverse to get to the blacktop that I was planning to take up to the woods. I felt the pop as the rear tube let go. I think it’s a pinch flat. I’m calling it user error as I’m running Michelin 1.1 Wild Run’r’s that aren’t cut out for that type of terrain. At least the 2 mile walk back to the van was absolutely beautiful. The ice cold Diet Coke served by the one and only Ronaldinho helped too in the 33*C heat.

She’s parked in the garage. Got a great deal! Waiting for the title from the dealership so I can get my permanent tag. Then, Ride Baby Ride!!
