but will there be enough for everyone?

**Conrad** · 04-01-2011, 02:46 PM

we can perhaps tell the bikers to have two helmets atleast.

Kudos!

Kudos Again Meghalaya xBhp Guys & Gals! Keep it up!

As far as I understand, the number of bikes for the above rally will be limited. Therefore, we can use the helmets and protective gears of the other bikes that are not participating. This is just a suggestion from my side.

With Regards & Best of Luck!

Event Report:

As scheduled, the event started with a short speech and introduction by respected Shri M. Kharkhrang, Superintendent of Police (City) and respected Shri H.G. Lyngdoh, Addl. Supdt. of Police (City). At 10am the rally was flagged off by the Supdt. of Police from the Parking Lot (near District Transport Office). All throughtout the rally ASP led us on the white Pulsar and escorted by the Flying Squads. The routes covered were Barik-Rilbong-Mawlai-Jaiaw-Police Bazar- Malki-Laitumkhrah-Fire Brigade-Nongthymmai-Sawlad-Lawusip-Lapalang-Rynjah-Nongrim-Firebrigade-Laitumkhrah-Dhankheti-Malki and back to Laban Sports Club which took us about 2.5 hours. About 25 bikes and 50 participants including members of xBhp, STP & SSR took part in the rally to spread the message of Road Safety. However, unlike the last 2010 Road Safety Rally, the Royal Enfield Riders, who were supposed to join us on 15 bullets, could not make it due to some unavoidable circumstances.

2011 Road Safety Rally was a different experience as we could observe the curiosity and interest of the public and motorists particularly. It was inspiring to see our ASP himself taking an active participation and distributing the flyers to the motorists. Flyers were distributed at various traffic junctions like Mawlai, Motphran, Police Bazar, Laitumkhrah, Dhankheti, Rynjah, etc. where the participants also interacted with few motorists. During one such interaction, a driver pointed out that “some drivers are unnecessarily using the emergency left-right signals and blowing of horn”. He also pointed out about the misinterpretation of the “right turn signal” as an “overtake signal” by most motorists which at many times have led to accidents and suggested that drivers should be more careful about it.

Later, at Laban Sports Club, the participants also received few minutes training on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) by the EMRI-108 EMT Staff. CPR is a life saving technique whereby oxygen is pumped around the body using a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths. It is useful in many emergencies, including heart attack, vehicular accidents and near drowning where the victim’s heart beat stops.
Finally, the event concluded with the refreshments and a short thanksgiving to all the organizers, sponsors and media partners before Mother Nature showered its blessings upon us through heavy rainfall.

On behalf of the Meghalaya xBhp Group, I would therefore like to thank
1. Shri M. Kharkhrang, Superintendent of Police (City) for being present to flag off the Road Safety Rally.
2. Shri Herbert G. Lyngdoh, Addl. Superintendent of Police (City) for his inspiring activeness to lead the rally and the Flying Squads for their valuable service as ever.
3. Our Sponsors for their support viz. Lafarge Mining Umiam Pvt. Ltd., D.H. Royal Cars, Rani Motors, Modrina Auto Enterprises, Eastern Panorama, Stanley Roy, Highland Studio and P. Marbaniang Service Station.
4. Our Media Partners: RedFM 93.5, PCN and Meghalaya Times
5. The Staff of the EMRI-108 for the valuable life saving training.
6. Our xBhpian members for their active participation in preparing all the placards, flyers, banners, photography, videography etc. viz. Benny, Conrad, Rupert, Nanz, Pinku, Naylin, Ru, Dhan, Mani, Emmanuel, Shanky, Sev, Badap, Neville, Gaurav, Jaskaran, Daniel Pearl, Mrinul, Joseph, Rohil, Raul and others.
7. And finally the SSR bikers for their support.

Though I missed it, its nice to see all the pillions in helmets too. Great work!
Seems like most of the girls did not make it to the rally this time except for Gladdy, Lily and the other new girls. Too bad, was too occupied with the School work, could not join this time.

Keep up the spirit!
