        @ Rajesh - You can borrow my Cramster riding jacket if you want - it's size XXL, so it should fit you. The PBK guys are going to change my front disk rotor - and the parts will arrive only by Friday - so I'm driving, not riding.

        Also, I'm sure it will be a lot more comfortable than Ragav's steam suit!!

        Only thing is that it doesn't have a waterproof liner attachment - so you will need a rain coat too.

        Yeah right - maybe we can offer sauna services with that!

                I can tell but it may sound little funny .
                I told Dad about starting some serious bike ride plans on phone about 1 week back (he is in chandigarh) and he didn't speak a word (I was sure he was as unhappy as any dad could be). This happened even before I heard about our friday trip. I finished our G2G, came back home and Walla ... A courior waiting to unpack. I was delighted. I wish I should have told him I am planning to join Ninja group (who knows, i may get one )
