      OT.... @ All Lest we forget.. this is really very imp

      Drag Bike: a person who rides in the last position in a group. The Drag Bike must secure a lane for the rest of the group during lane changes into faster traffic (move first to block oncoming traffic) and close the door (move to block passing traffic) when a lane is lost in a merging lane situation. Usually this is the most experienced rider in a group, for the Drag Bike is the rider who stops to assist a rider who has mechanical trouble, loses control, or drops out of a ride for some other reason. The Drag Bike should be prepared to render aid to a downed or disabled rider in a group. If at all possible, the Drag Bike should have a co-rider who can assist with traffic control if a serious problem arises. If there are three groups on a ride, there will be three Drag Bikes. The rider in this position is sometimes called the tail gunner.

      Make sure no first timer/rookie/novice is at tail during the G2G..

      @ Bangy XBhpian.... I strongly suggest that that the person who are joining here as their first G2G should be in the middle and not at the tail. I know you guys are strict about it

        Updated the google spread sheet with my number.

        Hallucinator-: We can certainly meet at the pump and then move on. Will give you a call by wed or thursday.

        Praveen-: We can ride till chitoor and meet. What do the rest say?

          IM fine till chittoor or anywhere


          p.s @Amit
          dude, the spreadsheet is a good idea, but its publicly open as well :-\

          i have the list ready.

          although no posts from Scarecrow, and need a final confirmation from Nithin as well.
          rest is ready

          ill email the stuff.


          I could opt as co-dragbike , ill have several stuff along with me, (water, first aid, tools)          .

          BTW : IMPORTANT:

          who's bringing the footpump from bangy side ?           !

          jaldi batao bhailog
          and i hope at least one of the R15 owners will have a tubeless tyre repair kit.

          and guys remember to buy your bike's FUSES (each bike might have a different rating, please check yours). IF possible a clutch cable and accelerator cable, and SUPERGLUE (if someone's fairing cracks a wee bit or anything like that)

          i have bought some patches for tubed fellas mai shayad puncturewallah ka job bhi le loon.

            I'll try and get my footpump if there is space. Its basically a large thing and I am short of space already!

              That's fine with me unless u guys promise not to run off at a million kmph while we struggle a long way behind at 70kmph. Small bike are in large numbers including an HH Passion. I would expect other riders to respect the slower riders too this time around.

                  Take care, bro!

                  By any chance did you take the Tindivanam route? There are huge potholes as soon the the toll road on NH 47 ends before Tindivanam.

                  As for the rain, it should not be a problem since it is the coastal areas that are affected. Also, we have 5 days to go.

                    What about breakfast? U can be sure that after riding for so long, all would be pretty hungry for something to eat. What about breakfast at Chittoor before riding up to HH? I believe there is an IOC Nandini at Chittoor Bypass which can also add up to a nice meeting place.

                    Are there places for breakfast at HH that serve 40 hungry bikers?

                      ^^ There's a reliance A1 plaza after Chittoor, would involve more riding for the Bangy guys though.

                      I don't remember the exact kms its after Chittoor, an approx. guess would be max 15Kms, so that would be a 30Kms overhead for bangy guys!!!

                          @Praveen and Kiran : Good job guys. We all owe u a lot more than the money in the form of millins of thanks!

                          OT : Went on a trip till Nagappattinam last weekend on my SCORPIO with me behind the wheel. Faced some torrental rainfall. For once I was really glad of my cars ground clearance and headlights. With two 100/90 bulbs in hi-beam and two fog lamps, I was literally riding blind for a good two hours from Cuddalore to Chidambaram in torrential rains. Am now sick of driving or riding in the rains, Hopefully there is no rain during our trip.

                            Well I have been using the Blr-Kgiri-Tvm-Ddvnm-Pdy route all these 4yrs... 2 months back when I was on that route.. patch work was done on the entire route... but seems like the patches dont last more than a month...

                            Well Assumptions are expensive...
