@MG @princesirohi

Count me in for planning and sharing work responsibilities from Mumbai.

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

I remember the Nagpur initiative well, was new back then!

Frankly IMO Nagpur wont be a crowd puller like Goa is for IBW.
A location with ideal roads, minimum crowd, scenic beauty, vast grounds should be preferred.
GOA is ideal in all the senses.
EAST should be avoided in all cases for its worst traffic conditions.
RAJASTHAN can be one ideal option, only if we ignore FEB HEAT/SUMMER.
A big NO for any location in MAHARASHTRA, crowd n bad road are big issues here. (Diveagar might get an exception from me)

Would love to ride to Goa (first time for a meet) as I am not a IBW fan, but 100% on for xbhp Meet

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

All the best for AIG2G. Have a blast

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

While this thread has been instrumental in getting us thus far we will create a new 'official' one which has more consolidated and final information. Meanwhile I have posted on Facebook for finalising the location. I shall replicate that post here.

The ‪#‎xBhpAIG2G15‬ Unofficial Thread on xBhp forums had a poll which suggests various locations for holding the 1st All India xBhp G2G (Get-To-Gether) : How about a pan India xbhpian's meet? . We have finalised two possible locations : Munnar or Pune and surrounds. We hope you realise that it is not possible to please everyone hence let us discuss these locations. We have not looked at Goa since it is chosen for all other motorcycling festivals and we want something unique this time. Compared to Munnar Pune has the advantage of being accessible, plus when we say Pune we mean something which is vast and open set possibly amidst beautiful hills and not the city proper. Munnar though beautiful with some amazing motorcycling roads will prove to be difficult to access for rest of India, especially North and North East. We are looking for a beautiful 100kms off ride circuit as well around the location. The location itself should be able to accomodate around 150 motorcyclists and an open air theatre setup. We are looking to do this around the last week of January 2015.

Gud idea... Eagerly waiting for that..

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

[MENTION=13887]prateek2210[/MENTION], No offense.. Seeing the latest post from Sunny, I did not miss anything on this thread - here we go again!

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

Sharing what I already posted in FB

The place shouldn't be Pune proper or even within a radius of 40km as it will still give a city feel. Any good place which is in the radius of 150-250km from Pune will serve the purpose

Accommodating 150 bikers in one single hotel is next to impossible in most of the locations unless its a popular destination like Munnar or Mahabaleswar which might turn out of expensive.Are we looking at tented accommodation kind of setup or stay at multiple hotels?
100km off road routes are plenty around Pune and less around Munnar

Most will go by their preference and Munnar as a destination sounds more exciting when compared to Pune. The guys who filled the form should be asked on mail for the choice of destination and should be given more weightage for final destination selection considering the fact that those guys will most likely join this event

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

I will prefer munnar over pune for two reasons...

(1) i am from pune..so if it happens in pune, there is no ride involved. So not an interesting proposition.

(2) munnar as a venue has it own charm....and venue should have its own attraction in addition to xbhp meet...and that is the reason, Goa got most votes in poll and by a good margin. A better venue attracts more ppl.

I dint get the idea of off roading...none of us even have an off road bike.

If it happens in pune, Lavasa and Aamby Valley City are two possible options. Both easily accomodates thousands of ppl, both provide ample off roading oppurtunities nearby.

Lavasa will be the cheaper option, aamby valley will be much costly, but much better option, to make it little bit near to affordable we can opt for tented accomodation. You can also possibly get offroad bikes but will need some special effort.

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

We are not looking to have it inside Pune city. The ideal situation would be that people gather in Pune in batches and ride to the location which can be 50-100 kms outside of Pune. I am picturing between ghats and a 360 degree open view of the hills. Tents are possible. There will be certain costs attached with all of the participants have to pay hence Munnar seems more expensive. Plus reaching there from the North and North east would be quite a task, even if people get their bikes in trains uptil Kochi / other nearest big city. If anyone knows any owners of nature resorts etc which have huge open spaces near Pune please let us know.

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

Agree the Outside Pune (100 kms) Maybe towards some places like Mashej Ghat -MTDC Resort (Roads are bad and Two lanes), Lavasa (Ok roads and again Two lanes), Towards Mahabaleshwar (Roads are ok and Four lanes). Will more than happy to support.

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

I strongly feel that we should work out for a tented accommodation as not only it will come out cheaper but it can actually be done at some ghat with 360 degree view of the hills. Also by keeping it that way it gives more chances of interaction among fellow bikers, bakar sessions and all

One thing to ponder about Pune and around is Western Ghat will look very dry in Jan-Feb period and the charm which it has between months of June - October will be missing

Re: How about a pan India xbhpian's meet?

[MENTION=1]Sunny[/MENTION]

Are we looking at sharing all the costs among participants or there is some sponsorship coming.

What is the accomodation cost per head per day you have in mind. Will help us suggest something.
