      If you are not going to keep your hands on tools, you can very well watch what service person doing at the Authorized Service Center.

      Let me expand DIY - Do It Yourself (self explanatory, right?). Serious participants would engage in trying out few basic topics by themselves to learn how to fix and seniors would guide through. Unless it done by themselves will never know how to react incase of situation.

          Guys - A Heads Up -

          This place has only a rough floor, walls and a roof - so if you need something, you'll have to carry it yourself! No power and water either, (though maybe we can arrange that if required) so be prepared.

          I'm sorry I won't be able to make it - flying out to Delhi Sunday morning with the family for son's school term holidays.

          Have fun!

                      Chennai DIY session went on well on 2nd October 2011. Barath, PSR, Dinesh, his friend, Ananth and Yuvraj were present.

                      PSR started off with theory session on Spark Plug. Chain sproket/tightening and small discussion on Engine Oils. Thanks PSR, it was very informative session. Thanks Sunny for allowing his office space for the session.

                      We will be having next DIY session on 15th October. Lets discuss the topic.

                          First DIY was a kick start on sparkplugs, well deserved topic to open a new chapter in chennai xbhp clan. Special thanks you PSR-ji for taking the pain to share your knowledge and Sunil-ji to make this happen.

                          Needless to say the participants of the 1st DIY needs a special credit for starting it all
