Bathing and Massage for the Bike (Pongal Special)

My bike completed 4 month journey with me, without giving any trouble. In return i decided to give him a bathing and massage session. Hope she liked this treatment.

Usually every weekend (mostly Saturday late night) i clean my bike. Cleaning your bike is really important for your bike and your soul. Who doesn't like to have a clean bike to drive :)

Every time i wash the bike, i get immense pleasure to my soul. Especially late night, no one to disturb. Only myself and bike. May be because this is the expensive thing i got for my self after my DSLR camera and lenses.

Some things i learned may help you: Once you remove the dirt and water wash take the bike for a small ride, around your neighborhood. That will take off most of the moisture from the bike before you doing the final touch.

I own FZS limited edition with Mat finish. Is anybody know is there any spray or wax for the final touch (if at all available)??

This is a time lapse video of washing my bike ( but forget to put it into manual focusing )..

And i tried to take lots of videos while washing. you can see the montage of those videos below

New Route worth to try for Chennai Bikers

Somedays I love to drive alone especially early morning & when drive alone i prefer not too long , for almost everyone who stay in chennai, the first preference is ECR. May be up to Mahabalipuram. But How many times you can drive in the same route ?? this same question came into my mind today, so i just tried explore some other route today.

This is the route i explore today

i started from Nandanam.

First stretch is Nandanam to Vandaloor ZOO : Via Guinday, airport, tamparam, this stretch is always busy because of airport and beacuse of buses. But early morning its not that busy you can drive peacefully but carefully.

As soon as you reach Vandaloor zoo take first Left.. This stretch is amazing ( i marked in red), wonderful road, no traffic & peacefull. You should explore this route once its really nice. If you go on this route you will reach Kovalam ECR junction. From there you can come back to chennai or if you can go till mahabalipuram or pondy whatever you feel like that time.

And when i stopped for a break, i saw bunch of serious bikers riding in ECR, like kawazaki #z800, #fz1, Ninjas, #Rc390 and lots and lots of Harley. It was worth to get up early and explore like this.

Drive safe and wear your gears

Early Morning Drive for Blissful Sunrise to Mahabalipuram #04-01-2015

03-01-2015 the first weekend of this year, its been an awesome night, lot of surprises and fun.
The night started with outing with my #chapeeze, we drove to beach and there is one surprise was awaiting for me.

Riding Leather Jacket

After a late night coffee in #ginger hotel chennai #CCD, and another coffe @ 3am in # savera. myself & another friend who came back from #Xbhp tour a day back decided to go and see the sunrise in Mahabalipurm.

We got all our gears and started our journey by 4.30 in the morning, for a blissful sunrise.
Misty & Empty road, what else we can ask for the first ride in this year. We reached mahabalipuram 5.15am, had a hot cup of tea and rushed to beach for the view.

View @ 5.30am

(just before sunrise) just see how the sky color is changing while the sun was hiding behind the clouds

Till 6.00 am we have been waiting for the sun to come, atlast we saw the orange headlight from the sea. what we all were waiting for

Keep your eyes on the sun and clouds you can see the transmission, the magic of sunrise.

This is another beauty which rode with me

Thank you very much let us know your view and comments

Now My Hulk Touched 3000 km

Now my beauty touched 3000km.

So far no complaints, i am very proud and happy that i am a proud owner of #Yamaha Family.

Things i love in this bike:

1. The seating position is great, i couldn't find the same comfort in any other bike i drive so far

2. The gear transmission is super smooth , you can definitely say "Butter Smooth"

3. The color of my bike, metallic black and green & yellow touch

but like any other biker i also wish this bike is little more powerful (may be 200 cc), if Yamaha make this fzs into 250cc category will be a super duper hit, since people are ready to spend money for bikes.

Sometimes i fell it would be awesome if there is one more gear, because after 4th gear this bike can make you lil boring, because you wont feel the punch in the 5th gear so you feel like changing gear.

But over all its a great bike.
