    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

        Nice ride [MENTION=56816]shruthi[/MENTION] and gang. Never knew you were on XBHP as well. Be more active and yes, post more pichas!

        Also, how was the upgrade to R15 in terms of riding mannerisms?
        Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
        Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

                  @shruthi, I see you're having little trouble using the multi quote button. You see the two inverted commas below each post, click on that if you're quoting two to three or consecutive posts. For example, if you wanna reply to Divya Sharan and Ridermax, go to DS's message click on the inverted comma, then go to RM's comment, click on the inverted commas there and then come down and click the "Reply to Thread" same goes for the posts as long as you want to reply. so in that way you can answer them in a single post.

                  Using separate reply for separate post will result in "post auto merging" and won't be helpful if someone posts consecutively after you.

                  Ride safe! Rev hard!

                  Cheers!

                      Thank you. There are quiet a few all ladies ride happening across India,it's just that they haven't come forward to put up a tlog on xbhp.

                      ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

                      One day ride to Lepakshi with Hop on Gurls group
                      This ride was like no other ride. 15 girls,6 bikes and an alto car.

                      A big,Big,BIG Thank You to Nagoo sir for letting me borrow his R15 for a day.This turned out to be my first geared bike ride,my first 100 km mark ride,one way,for the first time I crossed the 100 kms/hr,touched 110 kms/hr speed on the bike (a three digit figure!!!)

                      I really don't even know how to begin :P
                      Like they say,everything happens for good.I was only planning to ride as a pillion,take pics and enjoy the day as my Activa Babe needed service.And I still don't know what made me ask Nagoo to borrow his bike for the ride.Best part was Nagoo agreed :P and I was left with no choice but to ride,as the pillion positions were all filled up.Then comes the night before the ride,it was really hard to get some decent sleep,with all sort of questions running through my mind and the answers to all those questions,I would only know the next day.Nervous,excited,scared,super happy,doubts,faith,it was a volcano of emotions erupting inside me.But managed to keep myself together when I met Nagoo,after all I had to get his Bike :P

                      All ready to go...


                      Before heading out to meet the girls at esteem mall,I made sure to ride through the neighbourhood till I felt ready to go for the ride.Luckily,this bike never let me down.Got few tips about riding from Nagoo sir,said my byes and first stop to the petrol bunk.The person at the petrol bunk was pleasantly surprised to see a girl ride this bike.He helped me close the fuel tank lid and asked me won't my back hurt to ride this kind of a bike.According to what I've heard before,I replied no,it doesn't. Met up with lady bullet riders as they were the first to arrive,then it was a long wait till
                      the rest of them arrived. Esteem mall turned out to be the meet up point to a lot of riding groups and girls were going GAGA over the Harley boys



                      Even though the other girls were riding Thunderbird and classic 350cc,R15 was an instant favorite among the girls There were excited to see a R15 ride among the bulls and all I could do was smile.Bindu the organizer of the ride took the lead and since I just wanted to ride at my speed,I decided
                      to go last because I wasn't sure how fast I took take her.I remember Nagoo saying,you won't even know how fast you'll be riding on this bike,I just laughed it out saying its not going to happen this time when I am riding.

                        Re: Ride to Lepakshi with Hop on Gurls

                        Finally we started the ride,more than an hour late to begin with.Part of the
                        flyover opened up towards new airport,so it was a smooth ride.The first thing that greeted us
                        was the mist.Nose tips freezing and very low visibility.I was just riding at 55-60 kms/hr,the
                        Activa effect because that's all I am used to,while the other lady riders disappeared into the
                        horizon.The ladies showed there concern by slowly down or stopping at few places for me
                        to catch up.Slowly increased the speed upto 70km/hr,but I still couldn't think of 80.I was
                        comfortable till 3rd gear,then when I would take it to the next and would have to slow down,felt
                        like as if the engine was crying to me. So i was just taking it slowly.

                        The next stop was breakfast at Kamat,seeing that the girls had stopped after 30 mins from the
                        ride,I wondered did we reach Kamat already. I saw a car parked crossways in front of the bikes.
                        Apparently the family in the car had seen us ride,and were so thrilled,that they stopped to take our
                        pics and instantly we were promoted to being celebrities
                        Still managing to ride the bike,we reached chikbalapur and still no sign of kamat,we
                        decided to drop kamat because we weren't sure how much further we had to ride and our tummies
                        were rumbling for food.We waited on the highway,by the time few girls went to check out for a
                        place to eat.
                        "Alrite girls,start the engine,lets go eat!" Did I not press the ignition button for few secs?
                        I did.Silly,the monitor's not on,the kill switch! Oh yeah! put it in one direction,the bike didn't come
                        alive.So,it's gotta be the other way then and Nothing,absolutely nothing!

                        Did I just mention,the bike's not starting...Yes! R15 refuses to start. Ok,Panic mode!!!
                        The bike is not starting.And I am caught speaking to the bike,"Baby don't do this to me,just start."
                        Alrite,Help! The bike's not starting.Someone asking,"Does it have a kick start?" Nope was my
                        answer! A friend of mine immediately called her brother-in-law to find a solution.Battery's problem,put it in 2nd gear and push to start.
                        Well,I decided to put a word to the owner of the bike,as he know his bike best.

                        Conversation as I best recollect it.
                        Me: Nagoo,eh! the bike's not starting.Nothing's coming up on the monitor.
                        Nagoo: Probably its the battery.
                        Me: Ok,if I just start it some how,then it should be ok rite?
                        Nagoo: No,the battery's the important part.Everything works based on that.
                        Me: (in my mind) How convenient!!!
                        Me: Now what do I do?
                        Nagoo: put it in neutral and push it and put it in 1st gear.
                        Me: Ok. will call you after that.


                        I would call it a miracle,did exactly what was advised and the bike started,didn't
                        stop it till I reached the hotel.But,lost all my appetite because the problem was only temporarily
                        fixed.Girls were deciding whether I should leave the bike at the hotel and pick it up on our way
                        back.What if,it would stop at the wrong place. Gobbled something for the sake of eating,took some
                        pics,went quietly to the bike,turned on the bike.The display was working! Thank god! Let me just
                        try it again.Turned it off and on again.Blank.....Ok,the problem still persists.

                        Another call.
                        Me: still facing the same problem.
                        Nagoo: The battery's gone or the rectifier and blah blah blah...
                        Me: (in my mind) In English please....
                        Me: so what do I need to do,I don't want to leave the bike here.
                        Nagoo: Start the bike,put it in idle for 5mins.If it stops off before that,then the battery gone or
                        otherwise it's just the rectifier.
                        Me: ok.

                        All the girls agreed on this test.Pushed it to start,in neutral.Waiting....Waiting....
                        Waiting.....YES!!! The bike's still on.It didn't switch off.I am taking the bike to Lepakshi and
                        that's final.

                        Still felt uncomfortable riding,another biker Vinutha offered to try the bike herself which I considered.By the time I
                        sat pillIon on the Thunderbird and we started,Vinutha was out of sight,something told me everything was just OK. In a way
                        relieved.We had to stop at kamat,because two other ladies were joining the ride from there.I sat pillion on R15,
                        sort off mentally deciding let Vinutha ride it for the rest of day.That's when the student trainer session started on the bike
                        and Vinutha was letting me know how to ride better.She hit a three figure mark on speed that was for sure.
                        When she was riding the R15,my heart was in my mouth,given a chance I would have jumped off the bike and walked to
                        Lepakshi. And another halt!,where all that I could tell her is,"Vinutha! your crazy!!! but it was fun at the end of it."
                        She laughed justifying that the Bike's crazy.After this the bike got the name,Dhoom Machale Bike

                              This we stopped to get a bullet's rear view mirror fixed.Then there was the second miracle,the bike's press
                              start,started working again and from here on,there was no problem with the bike.It was as if the bike spoke to
                              me saying,"You ride me like you ride ur activa,I am not moving an inch!". Ouch! Well, the student trainer
                              session continued with Vinutha as pillion this time.The riding style with girls is pretty liberal.As long as the
                              group stays connected,your allowed to go ahead of the lead rider after a while.
                              With Vinutha's right guidance,I finally started to have fun riding at high speed.Touched 110 km/hr on the
                              highway.That was an amazing moment Complete stretch of the journey,the roads were superb!
                              Reached Lepakshi,hired a guide to know more about the history of the temple.The only temple where I have
                              seen a smiling Durga Devi idol.
