    It was a good g2g, with more than 35 odd members. Met quite a few new faces and good, old friends. Since it was night which meant low light, I didn't click any photographs. But, there were some members who managed to click a few pictures, which, I am sure would be uploaded by them in some-time.

    It was specifically good to meet Rossiter, Frank, and others who had come from out of Delhi/ NCR. Loved the G2G as a whole. Thanks guys for making it such a success.

    Kudos to us all; kudos to xBhp!

    always remember, we are also a part of this pathetic crowd.

    And location is just fine, only issue is population of India. shift it to anywhere and you will see the same crowd.

    thanks dude. it was great meeting you as well.

    thats for the pix as well.
    it was great to meet you after long time deb.

    And i'm simply loving the complete experience of being at AE, representing xBhp.
    And it's great to meet M.g after long time(this time minus long hair)
    Dipankar: the ever ready guy. Full of energy bhains ki aankh.
    Puneet: One of the most helping guy. a true gem of a person
    Ken Da: always on stall before me. Simply loved all the conversations we are having in the last couple of days. And we'll definatly go on a trip together(Someday)
    Ashu: joke cracking machine. He knows how to make the other person comfertable even when if he is meeting his for the first time.
    Fake Addy: Real bad luck dude. Sorry for your bike. And thanks for the Renault Keychain :-)
    Real Addy: some of your pics were awesome. waiting for the CD from you. :-)
    Kunjal: king of accidents ;-) it's always good to meet you.

    And every xBhp-ian:- It was great meeting you all at expo. most of the time our stand was the crowdest one around. Poor Bosch staff clearly looking puzzled looking at the huge gathering at out pavilion today.

    Also met few very interesting visitors.
    A guy with 3 RD 350's and few classic cars.
    one uncle who was earlier associated with engine designing. He has awesome motorcyling experience.
    Few utter idiotic quetions like: what's the top speed of karizma after the custom paint scheme? Have lots to share but in office right now. can't upload the pics and have lots of work to finish.

    meet you guyz tomorrow at expo.

    Auto(mated) Exp(l)o(sion)... ...

    Today we made a promise to ourselves not to visit this madness ever again until it is shifted to outskirts of NCR or somewhere else.
    The efforts started as soon as our metro-train journey started! And we got exhausted by the time we managed to enter the venue after 2 long hours...
    Crowd inside pragati maidan was nothing less than berserk... people were totally out of control.... it was max chaotic everywhere...

    we just visited some stalls... and thats all!
    after lunch we simply moved out of the huge asylum...
    reaching till the other end of pragati maidan for our xbhp stall was out of question...

    i am disappointed at the deteriorated management of auto-expo over the years...

    Guyzz today I visited the Auto Expo and enjoyed like hell as it was my first ever visit to the festival of speed and I am bound to appreciate everything because i cant compare this experience with any older experience. Everything was just fabulous from SLS Gullwing to the TATA Prima, I cant explain how amazed I was when I saw the Prima range at TATA stall but the LAND ROVER DEFENDER was missing. And another stall which took my breath away was of RENAULT. The MEGANE was itself enough to blow you away but the MEGANE TROPHY car was like hypnotism for me and I heard some words from the escort because of that as I was getting in to that.

    After watching the CBR1000RR, R1 and CB1000R my heart was weeping because I dont know when I will be able to get them all or even one of those.

    There in hall-6 at xbhp stall (very difficult to find for me) I met Ken. I was like "Hi Ken I am rocker from RTR thread" and he said "O rocker". I bet he don't know any rocker but he made me feel like we are chaddi yaars and I was smiling inside.

    The Champ was there...only for 10min.the Yamaha CEO from Japan and the Yamaha india head was also there.
    the crowd made it all go haywire. The champ was expected to give autographs and photos with fans. but the security guys were unable to handle the crowed. suggested to immediatley move the VIP out of the hall. he was only in front of the camera for 10-15 min max.

    Alas...no new launches..

    Trust me, I would have no problem if a friend told that. I would have taken it as a joke. But on an online forum little more constraint is called for I feel.
