Am trying to put the events the way they happened in simple words and as for the start just trying to put the whole conversation between us in dialogue style.

    28TH OCT 14:00 HRS.. CALL FROM JOSH TO RAM
    Josh: Hi Bro.. Wuss up ??
    Ram: hey josh.. allz well ..u say how hv u been.. any new rides ?? any fun ??
    Josh.: all goin gr8 at my end too ram.. well i have a proposal for you..
    Ram: cool.. what is the proposal..??
    Josh: dude.. i hv been thinking of attempting the Saddle Sore 1000 and want you to join too... lets make this a group attempt .
    Ram: Wow man. this is totally crazy.. am IN for this ride.. so when and where are we going??
    Josh: The 2nd of Oct is a holiday and the 3rd is a Sunday so we can do it on these dates.. what say..??
    Ram: Great bro.. am confirmed.. lets speak to our other members and get back with what they think.
    Josh

    Immediately frantic calls are made to Subbu,Mahesh & Sakthi who all give in their confirmations for the ride without even thinking for a fraction of a second.. I always knew I could count on these true friends and great bikers. Called up Ram and confirmed the list of riders who were sure to join in.

    Now the next part was to decide on the final date, Route, time, and the necessary paperwork required.. so we all got down to work with whatever information we could gather and had long con calls every night till the final plan was made and laid out. www.ironbutt.com provided all the required information and cleared all our doubts. www.mapsonus.com site used by IBA confirmed our route and the distance we were planning to cover. The witness forms & trip log forms were printed and separate folders were made for each rider.


    THE FINALPLAN

    DATE OF ATTEMPT: 2ND & 3RD OF OCTOBER (SATURDAY & SUNDAY)

    Sir, neenga engayo poiteenga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful... Wonderful...

    @ ALL: Thanks for all your wishes.

    It was one of my best ride. And one more thanks for Josh for properly organizing the event. Albeit, Mahesh's bike got punctured 3 times, subbu's rim got bent and heavy rain throughout night and 130 km of bad stretch, what say, we completed the ride successfully with great team effort. I thank Josh, Ram, Mahesh and Subbu for your support throughout the ride at all situations.

    yo sakthi aka bodysoda.. why are you getting so formal with your thanks and stuff to me this was a group effort and without our combined strength nothing like this would have been possible.

    Have mailed you the pictures.. please edit them and post it.

    The only time I remember reading something like this was by the pune group RSA(Rubber smoking angels)...they did it around early 2007 I guess...but they had bikes ranging from Karizma to Apache 150(yes the vibrator is that capable )

    Congrats guys!!! Sooper effort...
