    Everyone cannot be happy everytime!

    Apart from Yercaud there is no other place where we can have a meet where all three states can congregate. Last time the KL guys had a tough time reaching Yercaud! Hence this time its a place that is closer to them.

    For any place, its going to be a really long ride for the Chennai. Even for Bangalore gang, if the destination is decided as Munnar then its going to be a really long ride!

      Bro we from kerala have no problems in riding another loooong trip
      even though last time we couldn't mingle much we had a hell of a time.
      lets make it a place almost equal for all.
      A good mechanic will let u watch without charging u for it!
      People are like motorcycles, each is customized a bit differently! :D

        True, well said.
        BTW, just found that all the places listed so far, are closer to Coimbatore...

        Did the ladies attend any of the previous interstate G2Gs??

          Like Praful said - we cannot have a set of dates and a location that pleases everyone.

          Personally, I'm game with any of the later 3 set of days. But I seriously suggest that we make it a 3-day event. Last time, we from Kerala got hardly two hours to spend with the gang. This is bound to repeat for all those who are far from the location. We need to spend atleast one full day at the location. Otherwise it will end up as an up and down ride.

            The major cities involved are :-

            Bangalore
            Chennai
            Cochin
            Comibatore
            Trivandrum

            Now to find a place that is suitable to all will be difficult!

            As I see the Coimby guys are gonna have to the least amount of riding

            Anyways, some 1 city will have to ride out longer than the others, I am not saying that Chennai gang should be that city but the distances any location is going to be closer for all the other cities except Chennai for locations like Munnar/Wayanad/etc.

            Anyways, for me personally I am game for anything 2 day/3 day 200-1000 kms anything will do!

                  One more thing that has to be taken into consideration is the heat one has to encounter while deciding the location.Any new comers with less touring experience will have a lot of problems. Personally speaking Ooty or masinagudi should be fine for people from all the suggested locations.However riders from chennai or trivandrum might have to travel a bit longer.

                    I voted for March12/13th and suggesting Vayanad is the suitabe place for Keralite this time....But personally, I dont mind to ride any location outside kerala.

                      A tri-state group ride happens just once a year - may I suggest that we ALL make an effort to participate. The location is not important - the camaraderie that we will share in such a meet is.

                      IMHO, a 3 day meet where riders from different cities all meet at a point, ride together to a destination, spend a day and then ride back to a dispersal point would be ideal, since a 2-day-er (like the last tri-state) will mean that some riders will get to spend very little time with their comrades from other states.

                      I'm sure that my fellow riders from Chennai will not complain if they have to ride a longer distance - after all, riding is what this is all about, isn't it?

                          I honestly feel it should not repeat for Kerala guys like the last gtg. Felt really bad for them. Woke up then heard Kerala guys arrived. After breakfast photo-shoot and ba bye.

                          This time lets Chennai/Bangalore guys ride more distance.

                          I am totally okay with 3 days plan. The age we are going through it will never come back. Lets make every single moment in our life very much memorable.

                          To be honest if we are organizing in March also we do not have much time on hand. So better take it serious and fix up the date and venue.

                          After that hotel booking and all other plan will eat most of the time. We are always blessed because we have a dedicated soul in our club and he is none but our Kiran from Chennai. Last few times he had given the maximum support and made everything much easier for everybody.

                          Star selecting Leader for each state. Let the leader talk co-ordinate with the team and come up with plan.

                          From Bangalore We have no tension as Pro-fool is there with us
