lets plan something simillar in india...so that can reduce the Duty !!

its highly unlikely to work here

atleast we can try and probably aim to highlight a few major issues which bikers face like
- changing the number every time we are transferred to a new place (plight of the IT brigade)
- corrupt police officials
- not enough bike training schools
etc

Not enough!!! I did not know there were any!

No Harm in Trying....atleast it will be a big G2G !!
and an excuse to ride upto delhi

May be .. who knows.. with proper coverage.. they may include 600cc bike for CBUs or may drop the Duty ??

let the cops fire some bullets at you or throw a smoke bomb on ur face,then u will know

thats a very important point you said there.........the govt is taking us for granted.

stop with the "reduce duty" crap!

I agree partially. Guys, everything we say has a flip side too, like less duties being unfair to the nation. And I ask you, Why always blame government?

Those Japanese Companies (Yam, Hon, Suz) knew that a 600cc laps the Indian Racetracks quicker than the 1000s? But still they...
Aren't the companies fooling us more than the government did?

1. They can't establish a CKD Setup so far, like Bajaj did.
2. They can't accept a "Refundable Advance" for a pre-mentioned CKD bike, much before they produce it, just to judge the REAL demand, and then decide whether they "Refund or Produce".

Rather, they'll just gather press and blabber "These machines don't have demand. So, we anticipate a target of some 50 bikes, for some brand building."
What's their source when they say "no demand"??? What Statistics? Which research?

Everybody's government's enemy, but no one blames them companies! Critics, Correct me if I'm wrong... I want you guys to read completely & Criticize if I'm wrong!

I say we have such meet to promote safety

I say we have such meet to promote safety on road among fellow bikers and other car drivers too. Over 1.05 lakh people were killed in road mishaps in India every year (roughly 287 every day ) and at least ten lakh people were hospitalised or disabled for life due to injuries caused in accidents.(source:- WHO) Since most of this accidents involve 2 wheelers and pedestrians we should be the ones to take the initiative to promote safety on road and bring pressure on government to take better measures to enforce traffic law and bring better safety to us. Also we Xbhpians will create a better image of being bikers in public rather then current image of grater-the-gear-guiltier-the-biker. Plus what a publicity it will be to have 1000s of gear clad/kitted and helmetdhari bikers peacefully riding towards lets say Sansad bhavan or maybe even on Rajpath from Rashtrapati Bhavan through Vijay Chowk and India Gate to National Stadium........ Oh! I am daydreaming again.

^^^+1000

now that is a sensible idea...i am not sure how many people we will be able to convince to wear safety gear through this but this will definitely change the image of a biker in the minds of people!!

^^^^ +1. Completely agree with you. You hit the nail on the head
