  • ^^ if we can meet in somebody's colony then it's the best thing. but first Nin should get permission from the secretary.

    about the shades at RetiBunder, the huge two lane bridge overhead should be enough.

    Only problem will be arranging breakfast. There are no decent restaurants nearby who serves snacks. we'll have to ride back in Thane city or ride to McDonalds Kalamboli or a dhaba on NH3 or I'll have to carry Samosas and chutney (Gopy don't tempt me, I might do it )

    we won't be doing any thing serious.
    Just some things like checks before going for a ride,
    things to keep an eye on when the mechanic is servicing your bike,
    things to look for during PDI
    things which can be repaired but mechanics tell us to replace, etc.

    If we fail to achieve the detail discussion, or the no. of members, it will be a learning curve in arranging such G2Gs.
    Just the same as we planned first xBhp 2day ride, dhaba g2g, formation ride etc. . No one actually had the exact idea, eventually we became good at it.

    if nobody comes, we 3-4 guys will go for a ride.

    Nobody's going to handover us a check for Rs. 1/- for successfully conducting a DIY G2G.

    So No worries. Let's see what happens...it's a start...




    PS: this reminds when Thane gang (me, anup, bobby) planned first 2day ride to Kashid beach.
    we planned so many things, that half of what we discussed was never applied.

    • @Rony / Motionfreak - That amphitheater kind of space also looks nice for conducting the first session. Please finalise on the location fast.

      Breakfast is not a concern. After the session ends we can go anywhere for food.

        Even I agree with that ... After the DIY session, nunu can also treat us with some nice breakfast and beverages

        about the shades at RetiBunder, the huge two lane bridge overhead should be enough.
        Conducting such session on middle of a highway, sounds a bit odd.

        We need some better isolated place with enough shade.

        Even I am thinking the same. If nunu does not get the permission we will go forward with Amphitheater as the venue. In that case 7am should be the starting time as we dont want the area to be pre-occupied by wannabe cricketers !

            Google Maps
            even i had the same thing in mind..but i myself am not sure about my availability then...and hence i was into hiding

            seeking permission wont be required unless we are doing any sort of business or placing a stall there like the one rony did at McD's at the ducati ride for giving away t-shirts

            jokes apart even if there are 25-30ppl there would be a problem unless we are a public nuisance(making noise,stunting,racing) to the colony residents...

            there are many places in the colony where we can do this....but now that the 'DIY' on the bakra bike(my old modified one) is done...almost finished it by myself this morning...i dont see any point in having this DIY session here...hehe

            anyways tell me what are the timings(FINAL FIXED TIME!) that we are going to have the session,atleast by tommorrow....will try my best to be here then and we can conduct this one in my colony...
            A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

              That was just a temporary counter which was open only till the stock lasted

              Making Noise ... Check !
              Stunting ... That is your Domain !
              Racing ... On the colony ground ?? Does it have race track also ??
              Rest be assured, we xBhpians know how to behave

              Dude the time depends on venue and its availability ... ideally we want to finish it as soon as possible (by 9am or latest by 10am) .... Is it ok if we land up in your colony by 7am ? .... timing is flexible as per your convenience .... but the session duration is fixed .... it will last only for 2 hours !

                  its still missing
                  A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                  Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                    • The amphi theatre seems to be a good place to conduct the first DIY. Its pretty isolated,got shades too.

                      • There are a series of stairs on the godrej ground too... It's a good place. If this place is confirmed all NIN sir will have to do is inform the security guard there before hand that so many bikers will be arriving just in-case they don't suspect anything. 7am on a sunday nobody will be around and the place should be quite empty. There's a Mc'd at amar mahal, chembur. We could go there for breakfast. It's a bit far away.
                        I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

                          Actually after giving it a second thought, I am thinking NOT to conduct the session in a colony. It does not look good to disturb the neighborhood on a Sunday morning for our G2G.

                          Its better if we conduct it in a public place.

                          I guess that is turning out to be a better option now. Lets finalise it, what say?

                              Rony, Go ahead and finalise it.
                              The best thing about that place is, its so freaking silent and peaceful..
