    You are welcome to join the ride, however, would need to know basic information i.e your ride, any experience on long distance tour, etc.

    Ananth is the person to be contacted for more details. You may send Personal Message(PM) to get his number.
    Thankyou sir. Have introduced myself in the Who are you section. Should have introduced myself before my first post.

    I have done some short trips(150-250kms) around chennai. Have never done any trips in a group. Have done two long trips. On both the occasions I had to attend a marriage and was riding alone.
    a) Chennai-Salem-Chennimalai and back to chennai( 930kms in two days)
    b) Chennai-Nagercoil (3 days rest) Nagercoil-Chennai around 1400kms

    Will attend this weekend GTG.

            • Accommodation Booked!

              Guys, I just got a update from WildLife warden, Point Calimere that there is some bulk accommodation been booked by Government Officials from Tanjore district. So unfortunately i had to confirm the bookings right away.

              For now, I have only taken the count of CONFIRMED People alone. Having said that, I'm pushing for extra accommodation for others. I cannot guarantee, But still I'm trying my best to have everyone accommodated for the trip.

              List of CONFIRMED People:
              1. Ananth - Karizma ZMR
              2. Sriram - Unicorn
              3. Steve - Karizma ZMA-R
              4. rajesh1136 - GS150R
              5. bikerfas - Yamaha FZ16
              6. zerotosixty - Yamaha R15
              7. Tarc - Classic Bullet - 500
              8. felix.ragav - GS150R
              9. Sunnyside_up! - Scorpio / Ninja 250R
              10. Senthildsk - Ninja 250R
              11. Pratheep - Yamaha R15
              12. deepurocks - Honda Unicorn


              Accommodation per twin sharing is Rs.525. There will be a meet up this weekend & All CONFIRMED Members should bring in a deposit fee of Rs.500 each towards Hotel Booking Confirmations. We would again have a Pre-Ride to a brief distance on the highway.

              Please see to that people riding in gets the following stuff without fail :

              1. Clutch Cable
              2. Accelerator Cables
              3. Spare Tube (17")

              I have a spare tube for 18" tube, rear & front. Cables for the Karizma. People on the GS150R could collectively buy the spares.

              I would also be bringing in a Foot Pump & Puncture Repair Kit (Tube + Tubeless).

              THIS IS A MANDATORY MEET. I WOULD WANT EVERY ONE TO ATTEND THIS MEET. Sriram & Steve would organize the Pre-Ride this weekend & Same would be notified in the Chennai xBhp Thread.

              The Reservations stands closed from now. Thanks.

                    • to reiterate what ananth said - guys get your spares ready. the zma'ZMR's will not have issues as kiran/Ananth and I have the spares required. the GS/R15/Bull/fz/uni/other bikes please get your spares.

                      we will be riding through small villages and towns and no major city except pondi and spares can be hard to find.

                      • Dinesh and myself had discussed about the group riding, signaling and basically what to expect during long rides. We had also briefed about the importance of carry spares to those who attended G2G on Sunday.

                        Ananth has clearly mentioned the basic spares should be taken. However, would also insist on carry fuses for their respective ride. I realized the importance when going through one of the travelogues.

                        If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to discuss, might help all of us.

                              I dont see Bhavishya shipping the jackets before 20th. Shipping would be a week from then. Im not sure if you are blindly trusting the dates here. If it doesn't land in Chennai on 28th, You might have to source a riding jacket from elsewhere.

                              Call him & ask him to ship you the reserve jacket that he showed when he was in chennai. You could anyway use it for one trip / ship it back once you get the new one in hand. This is just to see to that, at the last moment, you dont drop off with grounds that you dont have a jacket to ride with.
