Tribute ride for Kriss on Oct. 18th 2009 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

rossiter · 10-12-2009, 02:45 PM

For the uninitiated, we lost a fellow biker in Kriss due to an unfortunate accident while on a ride.

Kriss was known to many of us around the city, as well as members in other cities. He was a kind hearted and a friendly soul who was always ready to go out of his way to help a fellow member, and by doing so, endeared himself to all of us.

I know him from many phone calls, emails, SMS, and just one brief encounter, which in hindsight has left me feeling short-changed, knowing the kind of person he is.

So, I felt it was befitting to the memory of Kriss to organise a short ride here within Bangalore. It might also provide his family and friends with a small hint of what we all think of Kriss as a person and a fellow biker.

I am hoping to replicate this in other cities as well. And to that effect, I am contacting some key members in cities like Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and of course Hyderabad.

Let's all join in, and do this for Kriss.

Can always count on you for this John. Suggest a nice quiet place where we can gather and spend about an hour or so. I had the Kanakapura lake in mind.

johnblr · 10-12-2009, 03:01 PM

well dude...

its gonna be 30 plus i m sure ...and kanakpura lake will be a bit problem as villegers carry woods an all on that tiny lane if u remember...

About the place let me think a bit..will definitly will come up about this.

Also requesting other members to suggest the place nearby to hangout with 30 plus bikers n bikes.

I feel it would be great if u keep a pic of Krish on the first post. So whoever still doesn't' know him will get to know the important face who is not there anymore with us physically. In our heart Kriss is always active. we never can forget the person like kriss. Also I feel to make a trip to Kriss's native to meet his family and let them know how important kriss was for us.

I really can't believe this still. My tears just coming out

spiderweb · 10-12-2009, 03:02 PM

Nice initiative Rossiter.

But due to Diwali, most of the Mumbai xbhp guys will be visiting their hometown.
Hopefully others can make it.
Or otherwise we'll shift this ride to 24th/25th if most of the riders will not be able to confirm for 18th.

santoosh · 10-12-2009, 03:02 PM

Im in , I think that lake is not a v good idea now as few villagers are objecting ppl gathering there.

So think of anything else.

Santa

1) Rossiter (Akhil) - P180 / R1.

johnblr · 10-12-2009, 03:10 PM

Akhil ..this pic taken by kiran could get place on ur first post i feel...

santa,

I felt the same about k.pura lake.

I can see Hosur road A2B could b a choice as it has giant parking place where we gathered on I-day ride

kirosh_03 · 10-12-2009, 03:10 PM

Meeting point: Cozee Point
Date: Sunday, October 18, 2009
Time: 09:00am

Gang, we will meet up at cozee on Sunday to pay tributes to kriss. The plan is to meet up at cozee and move to the beach (by foot). Observe a 2-minute silence and pray for the departed soul. A few folks who have interacted with kriss will share their experience. The fact we have our meeting point in front of a huge beach (which is peaceful), we do not have to ride else where.

As a mark of respect to Kriss, we will observe a two-minute silence and pray for the departed soul and his family.

Kriss always promoted safe riding. I urge all xBhpians to pad-up with all your safety gears. I am sure kriss would be happy to see us like that.
