***Help Again

Hey Guys,

This is a query for Mumbai Bikers, am leaving for Delhi on Friday on my bike via Ahmedabad, Jaipur.
We would start by 4 from Pune, I need <through maps> shortest/fastest route to bypass Mumbai towards Ahmedabad, please give details keeping in mind I have never been to Mumbai on bike.

Thanks,
Akshat

Sorry don't know that. You should ask that in Pune, mumbai G2G threads.
Otherwise you can use google maps.
To get to mumbai you'll need to use old rusty mumbai pune highway but you obviously know that already.

Thanks for your response, have been till Khandala on this side of the highway,,,
people tell me Mumbai in morning is a nightmare and as we are planning Ahmedabad on the first day, we need to be quick and traffic should be the last thing that should cause delay and only Mumbai localites could help with that..

All the BS4 and BS3 cities sell 91 octane Unleaded Petrol (Normal). The octane rating of Speed, Xtra premium is also 91. There is no difference in octane ratings. See below links for reference:

@jasmine: That's nice to hear your almost first trip. And there seems tobe 2 180s. What was the purpose of this ride, Just chillin...

yeah..mann..it was a greate experience riding with 45 bikes and (3 ninjas, 3,4 cbrs ). and people gazing at us.oh... mann..it was superb.

only one 180 was there. else was 220s.
there was a fall too in my first ride.
have a look...

I think you are asking about clutch cover GASKET. It's just a ruber material which sticks in between the clutch cover and engine to prevent oil leaking. it costs around 2-3rs and the replace period is about 5k i think..

@JASMIN: How that happened? How are you now? How's the bike? I see leg guard is bent. Did you skid while taking turn at high speed?

Guys check this bike:









It's a very well modified pulsar. Best job I've ever seen.
It's on sale at 1.3 L.

That bike is mangalore registered
where is the location of the bike now?

Yeah it looks like a skid in the turn

@jasmine: Hope you are fine buddy. Do take care!!

yeah..nice one. but lake of finishing is there. that lights in the fairing,head light, painting,back tyre all lakes finishing.

yeah.. it was a skid while taking a very tight turn. there was a pillion for me..i was doing knee scraps with full confidence. my pillion was new to this foot rest scraping thing. but he very much impressed by that and liked it. after doing some knee scraps, here comes our fallen turn. almost 45 bikes were riding bike by bike in a uniform manner.as you can aee it in pics. it was a beautifull seen to the eyes, and thats why some local people where gazing at us including house wifes coming out from their houses with thier children and pointing us.

now coming to the fall, it was very tight "L" turn, and i was doing minimal speeds as compared to the earlier turn. almost half turn was covered and then suddenly i knew that my body is very close to the road and in next second bike touches ground.bike scrtached to the wrong side and i was with the bike.but my pillion was on the centre of the bike. but nothing happend to him, even single scratch. but i was badly scratched in my hand and knee. then suddenly my co-riders came and done medicines. then they were asking me about my riding gears. i was only with helmet and jacket.no gloves, no knee,elbow pads.thus i knew the importance of riding gears and the newbies who were there without riding gears. now i am in preparation to buy some riding gears, because its really paining.almost my first fall from my bike and it really helped me a lot to know about the riding gears.

now coming to the factor of fall, as i said it was a very tight turn, and as my pillion also said we were slow. but not very much slow to avoid leaning.there is another factor befind that. as i said only me and one another bike was double seated out of 45 bikes. our destiny was a hill station "vagamon". in my first ride i came to know one thing that, we should travel single. atleast when going to any hill station. 180 really sucks to climp hill with pillion. i was shifting down and down to go with others but, all were overtaken me..then i tried to decrease braking as much as possible. after a good breaking, it was very difficult to move up..then, that turn was with a slop, that made to come closer to the earth after half turn. you may understand now what i am saying. this lead to slip front tyre first and then rear and here we goes.......

i like to say you all,
1. whenever you are going to a group ride never carry anyone especially when going to hill.even one fz guy was saying that his bike coudnt climb even he was single.
2. put on riding gears . there was scratches in my helmet also. i was thinking about my head without helmet.

now i am ok. half pain is gone now..
thanks for all

wear gears..ride safe...
