        I propose, the first xBhp-Mumbai DIY session to take place on

        6th Feb, 2011 (Sunday)

        Venue : At some place (we can discuss it out here) where many bikers can G2G preferably with big ground and good seating arrangement (eg: Shivaji Park, Dadar).

        Time : TBD (preferably morning)

        Topics to be covered : It would depend on the knowledge levels of participants (I expect many seniors to participate in good spirit). Even if we are not able to physically work on some bike (in worst case) we can atleast have a healthy discussion on bike maintenance and solutions to D2D problems !

        So start pouring in your confirmations and mention the topic on which you would like to share your expertise here !

          I wish if Pune member could also join in.. More the better, but at the same time I doubt of d G2G having a rush.. So if a deserted place outside mumbai where only we xBhpians be there..
          If in Mumbai, then how's Kharghar Hill? Is that crowded, very?

              so who is gonna teach us? how about reddy's place man?
              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.

                exactly what i was thinking...we all could contribute a fair amount and hand it over to him for his help...

                but would reddy's place accomodate more than 30bikes and bikers..if those many people turn up...??
                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 ! :)

                    Topics :-
                    Know Your Bike...as in key parts their importance and location on the bike
                    Daily checks and inspection
                    Beginners maintenance procedure
                    Changing Oil--with recommended oil change procedure and schedule
                    Cleaning air filter--same as oil change
                    Cleaning spark plugs
                    Adjusting Brake freeplay for bikes with drum brakes
