    The team led by Captain Abhijit Mehlawat has performed at the Republic Day parade, the ASIAD, the SAF and the Afro-Asian games.

    The first record set was by Capt. Mehlawat himself as he rode a 16 km long zig-zag track 'handsfree'! The previous record was held by Liu Jichun of China which was a hands free zig-zag ride covering 5.32 Kms.

    The second record that was broken was that held by the British Army Corps of Signals, where 8 people on 2 motorcycles covered 1 km in 1 minute 38 seconds. The Indian team overhauled this record with elan. 10 people covered the same distance on 2 motorcycles in just 54 seconds!

    The final record was breaking a record previously set by the same team in which 28 men covered 1 km on 3 motorcycles in 66 seconds. This time 30 men did the same distance in 60 seconds only.

    The records were certified by two high court judges to be added into the Limca Book of Records and the Guiness Book of Records.

                          Alright, don't run me down for saying this openly...

                          ...but this is one of the most ridulous records reflecting the Indian mentaility.. "ek gaadi mein kitna log chad sakta hai".. "ek litre mein kitna door chala sakta hai"... etc..etc.. For god sake this is the Army.. Instead of making records in building bikes that shoot sidewinder missiles or plough through hilly terrain or take out a tank, if this is the kind of records our Army is going to be stuck with.. then the future is not that hard to predict.

                          PS: The handsfree zigzag driving is worth something though..

                            Dude there is a difference between technological innovations for the armed forces and sport achievements. Don't mix up the two!

                              Exactly!! And some students of my college are such morons and el cheapos that they couldn't afford 292 individual skipping ropes so all of them skipped on only 1 rope making it a STUPID Guinness World Record.

                              Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                              Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
