  • Hey guys, you were any way planning on a ride on Sunday. Why don't you drop in at Pune? We have a cool air conditioned hang out called Moto Cafe where the owner dosen't kick you out even if you don't order anything. It has sofas, LCD TV, Play station etc.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

      There is no point in ranting about this on the forum. This has to be a face to face meet and closure!
      I agree that a personal meeting will solve lot of queries and allocate responsibilities. When and where?

          1. I am planning to take my bike to delhi by train. Most probably I will be the only person doing so. I will arrive at Delhi station at 6 am. What will be the meeting point in Delhi? Scheduled time for meeting? If the train is late or bike gets delivered late, what other option do I have?
          I am riding to Delhi, probably solo.

          2. Have we finalized our night halt locations for each day? If yes, what are they? If not, what is the timeline for final decision?
          3. Have we made any kind of arrangements for hotel/tent confirmation? If yes, what are the details? If not, what is the timeline for final decision?
          Leave the hotel/tent search part on me. I am usually good at bargaining


          4. I have booked tickets of total 4 riders who wish to travel back from Jammu in train. Are those tickets to be kept or cancelled? Is there any chance for riders booking bikes in train to siphon off their petrol into the bikes of riders going towards Amritsar?
          Lets see, better to decide there only.

          5. During my meeting with Inder and Satyen, it was discussed that we should split the entire load among the group so that items are not duplicated. I do not see any working on those lines. Is this still the plan? Who is coordinating this activity?
          I think there wont be much to divide, so better to make it an individual affair & yes I wasnt informed about this thing:mad:

          I had earlier volunteered to obtain permits from Leh before we even begin our travel. However, no one has shown any interest in that so am assuming that we will obtain permits only after reaching Leh.
          Better we get it beforehand, tell us what documents, I'll try to come to Pune this Sunday n give it to you.

            Well Priyank, as you see there are too many people riding, it'll be difficult to include you. But dont worry, there will be another group leaving for Leh in June itself, you can ride with them. Sorry man

              Those people who tell you not to take chances
              They are all missing on what life is about
              You only live once so take hold of the chance
              Don't end up like others the same song and dance

                    You are looking in the wrong thread. Look in another thread started by Beruoist, you'll get many others

                              RK is not the place to discuss such things. You guys should come over to Pune at Nik's Moto Cafe. Best place for such a meet other than the CC's.
