I was half asleep while listening to the lecture on embedded systems when suddenly my cellphone rang. I could easily answer the call as I was able to hide behind the person sitting in front of me. It was Ashwajit on the other end. He told, "Dude where are you? I am coming to take you out of the class." I quickly answered, "uP lab." I knew what was coming...
As soon as we stepped out of the class, he yelled "WE ARE BUYING THE ENGINE TODAYYYYY".
We reached a place somewhere near Haji Ali where the Honda CBR600F4i bike was kept. When I first saw the bike the first thing that came to my mind was, "Oh baby you gonna get raped today". It was 2001 red model and ran ~10K km. Soon the sound of engine finally made us breathe at ease. We were waiting for this day since soooo long and to be present there was just amazing experience.
The bike was stripped in less than an hour and finally the engine was separated from the chassis. I quickly found out all the sensors on the engine and made a note of their placement. I was surprised to see that the bike didnt have O2 sensor which a must have for any EFI engine.
I was lucky to see a Harley Davidson and its VTwin engine. Also there was a dirt racing bike.
We left the place at around 9 PM and all of us were in the party mood :) We had hell of a time at OrionPit and were doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Finally at around 11-12 we left OrionPit and went to Khau Galli for dinner.
This was a day to remember. Finally our project kicks off and so does the work load ;)
