Well like I wrote on FB, it was a wonderful start for a Sunday after a lot (for me). Meeting all the like minded people, a nice breakfast while it rained like crazy and a slow and steady, leisurely ride back home in even crazier rains. I wanted this sort of rain during our Talegaon ride last weekend.

I had electronically limited my bike's speed to 60 kmph both while coming from and returning to home cause I was supposed to guide Chirag who's bike is in running in stage. While returning home, I was doing the same thing but Chirag lost my track somewhere on the Makhurd by-pass road. I waited for him on easter express highway after taking the left turn at Ghatkopar. But he was no where to be seen. Saw a group of bikers including a GS taking right turn under the bridge and hence moved on.

Meet was great. Seniors didn't have to give any discourse on safety gear as almost everyone present there have bought the riding gear and agreed to wear them whenever possible. Those who haven't are saving for it. One line made it clear there that No riding Gears then PLEASE do not ride with xBhp as a group. It's not meant for insulting that particular rider but for his and the rest of the group's safety.

Anyway, So congrats to Chirag for his new bike and to Rakesh for his Swift. Keep rolling Now this junior most member lets the seniors do the talking

PS: Highlight of the day, Rakshas's surprise visit with his GF and Satyen's amazing Rain wear

LoL.. I was following an RTR thinking that its you & at the signal realized that it isn't.. Thank you for leading me all the way
But then sign boards did help & I reached home without an issue *_-
Mom did not expect me so early he he he
You & D.K. helped a lot with the gears.. Will now get the basic ones asap so that as soon as the rainy season gets over(and my break-in period), I have every mandatory gear !

@ Spidey : How r u doing now ? Motor missed you soo much that he did not even ride today
Ooh by the way pics pics...

For the gears, do ping me as and when you plan to buy. I can tag along with you to Smart designs. It's quite close from my place.

Looking at the rate with which Mumbai xBhp is expanding day by day, we should have such meets more often now. Not every week like Pune but at least once a month sounds good. And keeping it in the morning like today should help most of the riders. New locations should be found and kept rotating among them everytime but keeping it in centrally located area like Vashi/Navi Mumbai etc

spending couple of hours with some like minded people is never boring in my books.

Am sure everyone has some or the other good/bad memories/experiences of their rides. So we can share them. New rides can be discussed during meets. Or if nothing, then even spending couple of hours with some like minded people is never boring in my books.

OK..!!
Now pix please..!!! Motor..??? Calvin.??? pix lao bhai..!!

Shitttt man i missed... :-(

Hmmm... I wanted to be there, but my mood was something like a misty glow (whatever that is)

Very Obvious Spidey, that it was your mood and not health an issue

It was my health that changed my mood.

i m feeling really bad ,i missed my very first xbhp meet.

Didnt we decide that people who didnt\couldnt come will not promote safety anymore on the forums :P untill they treat us with fermented barley water and Kulkarnis Chicken!

Had a good ride! it was raining canineasaurous and felineasaurous at the highway!!!

BTW Lets make it a ritual of sorts now. IMO lets suggest multiple places... Vashi could be one, Fountain could be the other, Carter road could be one too! Considering the HUGE family that we are now, multiple places would make a lot of sense.
What say?

Add Shivaji Park and Worli sea face too then
