The home page message may come as a surprise for many while others may claim that they expected something similar.This thread is specially made to get the initial reaction of xBhpians about the disaster and resurrection.So speak your mind out about what you feel specially when xBhp was not around for more than a month.We all would love to hear the feelings that xBhpians had gone through in the past one month and what they feel about the new xBhp.
Also remember that we are going to do something very grand.So get ready for that.
We take pride in ourselves because we know that companies all over India look up xBhp for free quality research. Some copy valuable inputs and content to help achieve their sales targets while even refusing to acknowledge the source of that information, what of thanking us for it.. Publications across India also routinely visited xBhp, both to take cues on how to plan their next step and also to try and squash us out of existence with corporate might and financial power. It is indeed sad to see the politics seeping into all levels of biking in India. This sacrosant lifestyle for many is being tainted.
After the ghastly incident on August 21st, xBhp was effectively no more. All data had been corrupted and nothing could be recovered even after sending it to one of the best recovery companies in the world. As fate would have it, even the local database backup was found corrupted on testing and could not be salvaged. Five years of hard work and memories were gone in a flash. Whoever was responsible for this almost succeeded, I was about to shut down xBhp as things looked impossible now.
Yet xBhp remains.

All data had been corrupted and nothing could be recovered even after sending it to one of the best recovery companies in the world. As fate would have it, even the local database backup was found corrupted on testing and could not be salvaged. Five years of hard work and memories were gone in a flash. Whoever was responsible for this almost succeeded, I was about to shut down xBhp as things looked impossible now.
Yet xBhp remains.
climbed towards Dhanoulti with six other riders, who did not have any inkling of the savage turmoil that had engulfed me and xBhp. That trip saved my faith coupled with the thousands of memories stored on my local hard disk as photos and videos. I thought that this was too big and important for not only me, but thousands of other people who have been involved with xBhp in the last five years. How could I let it go just like that? This was August 23rd. The recovery company finally informed me on the 11th of September that the data has been lost permanently. Until then I had hope.
It has been ten days since the finality of the irrecoverability of the database had been conveyed to me. And in those ten days, we have recreated all of xBhp from scratch, a new design, a brand new beginning. The database is till mid-2005, with some newer content which has been added in the past few days.
A lot more content would be added gradually but it is upto all of you to get involved and take xBhp to new heights.
It was a surreal experience for me. It felt like someone had died in the family and then miraculously been resurrected. In the last one month, I have learnt more about life than I could imbibe in the last five years. It has also let me know who friends of xBhp are and who care. This is always a priceless insight and comes through only in the times of trouble.

And to make up for the disaster...
What has happened was supposed to happen. I firmly believe in looking ahead and being positive. To make up to everyone attached with xBhp we will be doing something pan India very soon. Expect the details to be out on xBhp in the next ten days. Lookibg forward to a huge reunion - online and offline, hopefully in a way never seen before.
