      • A great initiative and must be a good learning experience for all...Although being so near to the G2G place, I wasn;t able to come as I had to service my bike which was pending since a long time , so I had my DIY session with Reddy...

        My 200 is too smooth now (clutch plates being changes after 40K). feel like im riding a new bike again...

          That is what Reddy suggested us when me and rakesh visited him ... But practically speaking, how many are willing to spend cash ? ... And dabhas these days are too expensive ... we need some affordable place where we have open space to conduct the session and canteen nearby for refreshment !

          ashish & rony: +100 for the efforts man --said so while leaving too.
          never thought that such a huge crowd will turn up.
          reinforces that people definitely need the knowledge to be passed on.

          good to see new faces behind the IDs & meet the really really old fellas

          next session:make it large
          Dada jar apla ashirwaad asla tar surely we will make it large the next time !

          No probs ... try to join us next time !

          1. Check
          2. Actually as GS had said, the demonstration should be visible to all which unfortunately we could not manage this time .... We need better venue where we can have a raised platform on which the demo could be given and simultaneously recorded on video for which we even need a good camera and more importantly a talented recorder !
          3. We should thank him for demonstrating that technique despite his reservation for the same.

          +1 to that ! ... Ashish had hands on experience on all the topics which helped him to deliver the session flawlessly ... But yeah expecting him to be the teacher every time does not make sense ... we need other senior and experienced members to come forward and share their bit too (Yes Satyen, I am hinting at you) .... also we can have multiple speakers taking podium and demonstrating their topic .... all of this depends on the interest we guys show for the next event !

          LoL ... good to know that ! .... Reddy was too busy today hence he didnt show up .... but next time we will ask him to attend the session and share his knowledge on selected topics !






          And yeah, I forgot to mention about Raman Mishra ... Kudos to him for allowing Ashish to do some of the DIY on his steed ... one doesnt get to see such brave ppl often .... Also thanks to ninad for providing helping hand to ashish and sharing his knowledge wherever applicable ... I suggest ninad can cover few topics in the next session ... what say?

          Special thanks to MG, DK, Satyen and other xBhp seniors for being present and supporting the event ... Looking forward for your active participation in future sessions too !

          Lastly, sharing some of the pics which rakesh took from my camera

          • Thank you Ashish, Rony, Ketan, MG, Omega man, Satyen, pavan, DK, nin, and all the other members for making this DIY a grand success.

            Learned a lot, but yeh dil maange more...


            One more thing guyz keep this thread alive by preparing pointers/things that needs to be discussed in the future DIYs...
            It's not the hours you put in, it's what you put in the hours!

            • Rony - Good for you guys, atleast you were able to make it. I'm very glad that you guys were able to do it rather than leaving it as a dead thread. If possible, can you or someone summarize...
              - How & on what basis did you choose a location?
              - What were the backup plan incase you weren't able to put back things?
              - Did you have a mechanic's assistance or supervision when you carried out the DIY session?
              - Last but not the least, what'r you suggestions for us ?
              Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
              Awareness + Skill is what keeps you out of harm's way
              ATGATT + Awareness + Skill means you might Live To Ride another day

              • I'm Sorry i missed this heavily anticipated DIY g2g.. I hope to attend it next time.

                • The place was superb. Let's keep all the DIY session and other similar events in that amphitheater area.

                  Next session onwards keep the topic limited to 3-4 topics only and once its demonstrated by the professor let others also try their hands on it. Getting your hands dirty is the best way to learn

                  • A huge thanks to Rony for taking 'initiative' & Motionfreak, the Guru for taking efforts in making each minute & big points explain us in the detailed manner. First DIY & a Huge success, What more do we need as a Start.!!
                    MotionFreak took all possible efforts in making each one understand. He was the best we could think of for the purpose. It was so professional. I was impressed looking at the document created by motionfreak covering the aspects which will be covered that day. Then the attendance sheet.. Just Superb.! One word.. You rock buddy...
                    Some really important inputs where added by other members too,.!!
                    Ampitheatre was superb & even the other place was excellent.
                    It was awesome meeting so many fellows from the city. Old & Lot of new.. Feels good when you see more bikers getting attached each day. Nice meeting you guyz..
                    The funniest thing I could remember was, Gopi staying in Aarey colony didnt knew about the place & motionfreak had to send him the cordinates through sms from my phone. i felt am sending some confidential data to NASA
                    Felt really delighted to see Winzee riding on his scale model..
                    Complete worth getting up early & making up for this g2g.. Would love to be a part of many more such meets.... Thanks..

                      Another Big Thanks goes to Motionfreak,the dedication with which he was explaining everything was amazing.Learned so many things from him,specially liked the hotwiring session .

                      The sound of the black pulsar 220 with FFE was amazing(who's pulsar was that).

                      Being my first g2g,didn't got to talk with most of the peeps.It was a pleasure meeting Rachit,MG_biker(thanks for the free sticker ).

                      Inputs from Omega_Man were quite informative too.

                      • First of all a big thanks to rony & motionfreak for organizing such kind of DIY g2g for the first time i think for mumbai xBhpians. Really appreciated their efforts & some imputs from other seniors too. Also thanks to other xBhpians to make it sucessful one. College ka tapori, winzee's jokus, little chappal fight between kaali pamela & nunnu was some of funny movements to remember & last but not least a special thanks to one of my good friend rachit kohli to take me as a pillion on his bike.

                        Is really looking forward for another DIY g2g.

Kudos to all those who made it to this DIY G2G and a special thanks to Rony for making this DIY G2G possible and Ashish for conducting the training session. A big Thank You to all those who assisted by coming early and directing xBhpians to the venue.

                              It was great meeting all you xBhpians in person. I enjoyed the session thoroughly. Apologies for leaving the session early as I had to attend a society meeting at 10:00am.

                              All-in-All, this DIY G2G rocked. Keep up the good work.

                              Will upload some pictures soon.
                              it was nice meeting you there sir see you soon ...

                              Big thanks to all who woke up on sunday morning and came for no-riding, no-food G2G.
                              In fact most senior members came just to meet others and to support the new guys.

                              thanks to you ashish ! it takes a hell lot of patience to do that...and i very well appreciate it...even rakesh and rony thank you for taking all those efforts

                              i was surprised to see the huge turn out and enthusiasm of the fellow bikers...kudos to all !

                              will surely plan the next session at my colony....and before that lets plan a ride soon !
                              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 ! :)

                                Who was it again :P
