The Official Trivandrum Offline meet(G2G) thread

[2fazt4ya]

You cant sustain the top end all the time...whenever you get an open road rip the beast as you like...but carefully and learn defensive driving. so you will not get shocked with an unexpected surprises.Happy ride..our matured biker boy

The theory of top speed is still alien 2 me. I ve went only upto cruising speed (85kmph) on my bird even on the open stretches.. Dunno why.I dont like speeds beyond that! I find thrill in other aspects of biking..

Friends, Happy new for us! Today me and Varun had a meeting with Trivandrum city traffic police Assistant commissioner (south) and we got the final approval from their office. Cheers! He personally congrats our efforts and the gud intentions.....and also appreciated the slogans printed in the pamphlet and the way of detailed programme list. He will be coming to the event at kowdiar and will make a speech to us before we start
And I had met Prince Aditya varma,today and the Varma also accepted the flag of ceremony and he suggested it must be orgainsed at Panchavadi( in front of Maharaja Sree Chitira thirunal smadi madapam) in side the Kowdiar palace at 3 pm on 13/02/10.

Thanks to Balaji,Varun,lijo,sudeep,Tintu,Nithin,Arun,remy and the other whole tvm xBhpians for their contribution and the keen interest in every aspects of the programme. I am sure this will be a great success

@binoy chettan: Don't think so. Who is in charge of the gloves?

[VarunRTR]

Amidst all these good things happening, there is one news that you guys wont welcome happily...I called up MG today and it is highly doubtful that the tees and stickers reach here before saturday. Just keep your fingers crossed for that!!
Pamphlets have to be given tomorrow for printing..
@sudeep, i just want you to add this at the bottom of second page before the xbhp intro:- "Obey traffic Rules. Ride safe" in your own font.
and post it in the thread asap.

Thanks lijo and balaji, the AC was very much impressed with the content and "The route map" printed and given to him.

@srijith,
You can go ahead with the Club FM...

@binoy chettan: Don't think so. Who is in charge of the gloves?

dude, we did not place order from anybody for the gloves nor we are getting it directly from a shop.. after searching a lot, we luckily got a person who was willing to buy a few pairs of gloves from a shop and courier it to us.
If you or your friends have any contact in kolkata, you can ask them to et and courier it. take a picture of what we got and ask them to buy that itself. there is a market there for these kinda biking accessories..

[akhilmuraleedhar]

Its nice to hear this... At tirunelveli trip we was a lil concerned abt you(coz you were really lagging behind us)... As i always say as long we ride more the more mature we will be for sure...

true. my bike belongs to pure racing breed and has lots of practical difficulties in normal touring conditions. for track purpose the rear suspension is set stiff. unfortunately it is non adjustable. so riding on gutter ridden roads is a night mare. i have always been finding it difficult to ride in night. my bike's not so impressive light assembly makes the situation more painful.how ever experienced a rider i become these two things may always haunt me. sorry for lagging behind on the last trip.if i have to ride in the above mentioned conditions i may lag behind in the future trips as welli am embarrased

@jayamohan: That's a glad news indeed
@varun: & That's a bad news indeed

Anyhow hoping to get all the merchandise at proper time.. even if we don't get it we'll continue with the current plan and make it happen

A big hello to kerala Xbhpians.....

need a small little favour from you all. Me and couple of my friends are planning a ride on the last week of March from Hyderabad to Trivandrum via Bangalore and coimbatore.

Can any of you please post the route/road map from Coimbatore to Palakkad and all the way down to Trivandrum. (along with the places of interest that we can visit on the way)

please explain in detail the best possible routes/roads and road conditions from Palakkad to Trivandrum. Any help is appreciated.

MODS : I have posted the same post in the Cochin g2g thread as well. Please excuse as I am looking for maximum inputs from all possible directions.

[nottyboy]

sorry guys...was out of town....now WOW!! gr8 news up here...things are really going our way... but sad to hear about the tees...fingers crossed though... i can't wait till saturday now...its gonna be one helluva day!!

[lijok]

Hmmmm.... the tees would have given it the final touch.... still, I think we can make do with some uniform colour - what do you guys say???

@MadMax46 - Your profile name seems familiar... think I've commented on your helmet or something in another thread.... anywayz.... glad to hear you are coming down to TVM. We have a rapidly growing xbhp community here... tell us the dates you are here, and maybe we can all meet up...
About the best route... its NH47 all the way... but not all good places to visit are on that route.. The places to visit are often way off the highway... places like Munnar, Thekkady, Kumarakom etc are places one should visit.... will give you detailed routes in a couple of days... there are lots of obscure but beautiful places... hmmm
Guys... help out our friend from hyd...

Bro, you are coming thru NH47. Coimbatore via Trivandrum is a nice route. Now the roads are well maintained... Nothing to worry. Just take extra care about Big trucks behind you. I hve gone tru these routes 3 time. Hope lijo will post the route map for you. Safe ride.

[lijok]

@MadMax46

Hello MadMax, Yeah like Lijo and Jay bro mentioned NH47 is the best route and athirappaly waterfalls also is another place which you could give a visit enroute Trivandrum and about places in Trivandrum, We Trivandrum xbhpians will always be glad to accompany you anywhere here

If v don't get the tshirt in time we will have to wear some uniform colour, like a black tshirt or so. Suggestion required.
