I would have loved to come, but weekend plans have already been decided...

For these kind off events we have to take permission we are lucky (touchwood) that we got permission one week before, rest get only 2 days prior to the event.

This time i'll announce the date almost a year prior so that all can make planning to be a part of this event. (yes i am not joking)

No one could deny that Chennai is one of the city with highest two-wheelers in India & I don't need to rant on riding safe which is a national issue now.

My only concern is, why isn't it happening in Chennai? Or forget Chennai for now, what about Bangalore & Hyderabad? Are they on radar at all? Are they likely to happen? Can xBhp make a change?

Forum Leads - Any one reading a simple wish of mine?

@aargee: Instead of waiting for someone else to take an initiative, why dont you do so yourself? Everyone is a member and biker like you here!

I was just wondering about the effectivity of this campaign.

Was there any research done on whether the areas being toured are hotspots of AIDS? Because the areas being covered (in my opinion) are upclass areas of western Mumbai. I am not sure if the tour by itself will raise awareness or will it depend on media publicity to create the awareness.

Also another problem with the condom manufacturers are that, they market their contraption as a sex toy rather than a medical device. If they change their approach then more people would buy it. Probably you can pass this message on, wheelieboy, to the durex people.
