  • Suggestion for Help in G2G's

    Sorry for the title & new thread instead of reply in riding gears thread or G2G thread's as i think seperate thread will be good .

    I made this thread cause soon i will be in the hunt of gear's .

    Helmet , Jacket , Gloves , Knee guard , Elbow guard , Boots are always recommanded for safety of Rider/Driver .
    But for a new guy to these accessories ( or as so called gear's ) , its hard task to select the good one .
    There are several write up's , videos available on internet which can help . But its always good if one can check them in real & get advice , info of plus points & minus points , checking is possible by visiting shops , but mostly shopkeeper hide the negative points , which can easily told by peoples present in the G2G's . If they wish to share some information .
    But as per the information i found no one is alloweded to attend the G2G without safety accessories .
    In my openion for new peoples to these things there may be some specific time ( in minits ) reserved from the total G2G time to help them clearing their doubts & guiding to good product .
    As they don't have safety gears , not be alloweded to ride/drive with the group G2G planned ride .
    So they can get valuable info & check the various products & buy the one according to their needs & money they have .
    Is it so tuff ? Come on guys it's really great chance for new guys to see different gear's & gather the information about them .

    I don't think there would be much descriptive answer/reply needed to these thread , just a simple YES or No will answer it .
    Even if Mod / Admin who approve this post will give Yes or No answer & lock the thread , as it will serve the purpose .

    I guess, by this thread, you are hinting at the riding gear mandate made by Pune Chapter of xBHP. But had you read the opening post properly enough, you would have realized that:

    Pune xBhpians mostly meet up during the weekends for rides and in the evenings on weekdays for casual G2Gs.

    Most common meeting time for weekday G2Gs is around 8:00 PM and meeting points are:

    1. Hotel Roopali, FC Road, Pune [Weekday casual meets]
    2. MotoCafe, Aditya Shagun Mall, Chandni Chowk, Pune [MotoGP and F1 Races]
    ^^^ There is no mandate for any kind of riding gear for attending G2G.

    1. Chandni Chowk, Pune

    For any ride, whether short or long, we advocate the usage of riding gear. No rider is allowed on weekend rides unless he/she complies with the following

    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.
    f. 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
    AND ^^^^ The mandate for Riding gear is only for weekend rides.

    So, Please do join us in the evening of 24th of this month (Wednesday) and discuss whatever doubts you might want to clear up. Venue is The Moto Cafe, Bavdhan, Pune.
    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.
