Introduction
The Pune xBhp group was formed in early 2009. What started off as a group of three eventually became a community of about 20+ bikers in just a few months. The group includes students, professionals and a lot of techies. The group is varied in nature and consists of cornering junkies, highway rippers, adventurers, tourers and stunters too.
Pune xBhpians mostly meet up during the weekends for rides and in the evenings on Wednesdays for casual G2Gs.
Most common meeting time for weekday G2Gs is around 8:00 PM and meeting points are:
1. Grubshup, Law College Road, Pune [Weekday casual meets]
2. Hotel Roopali, FC Road, Pune
Although the meeting point for each ride varies depending on destination, the most common meeting points are:
1. Chandni Chowk, Pune
2. Hinjewadi Flyover, Pune
Important
1. To be a part of the Pune Group, all one needs to do is keep a check on this thread for G2G notifications and join in for one of the offline meets.
2. Anyone can be a part of this community as long as he has passion for biking.
3. We do not mix alcohol and drugs with riding.
4. The time for assembling at the decided meeting point is usually posted by the ride originator.
5. It is advisable to check your bike, replenish it with the necessary fluids and air one day before the ride commences.
6. For any ride, whether short or long, we advocate the usage of riding gear.
7. No rider is allowed on weekend rides unless he/she complies with the below set of mandates regarding documentation and safety gear.
Documents
a. Valid Driving License: MUST have and carry at all times
b. Bike Registration Papers: Original or Attested Photocopy
c. Bike Tax Certificate: Original or Attested Photocopy
d. Bike Insurance: Preferably a comprehensive insurance, personal insurance would be a plus.
e. PUC Certificate: A valid PUC certificate; especially if touring along with the group to pollution sensitive/monitored areas.
Safety Gear
a. Helmet: Has to be in good condition and preferably ISI/DOT certified
b. Thick Jacket/Riding Jacket: Must have inbuilt armour or external armour is also allowed
c. Gloves: Must cover vital points like knuckles and wrist. Cut/half gloves not allowed
d. Knee Guards: Either bionic or regular flex type. Should be worn inside trousers if non bionic.
e. Riding Boots/Sports Shoes/Army Boots: Anything that covers the foot well.
For serious biking (optional for casual biking)
a. There is nothing that can better the protection of a full leather suit (if affordable). The preferred and most recommended piece of protection that your money can buy. Not compulsory though.
NOTE: Any member found flouting the rules will be warned once before being banned permanently
Pune xBhp is planning a WhatsApp group for G2G frequenters. If you wish to be a part of this group, regular participation at G2Gs and rides would be a must.
