Hey guys wanna thank you all for the really wonderful g2g that we had to vagamon. Really enjoyed all of it and riding back in the rain was awsome experience ,bit risky at the same time. Just a Few points that i would like to highlight on this ride .
An lead and sweep is very important at all times, need to make sure that it is followed in a mandatory manner . As there maybe a some newbies in the ride everyone might not be able to keep up with the pace and might get lagged behind.
I felt there was a lack of coordination while making the return from Vagamon. Since its a team effort, everyone need to make sure others are not left in the loop because of hastiness, it will cause a lot of time waste ,replanning and regrouping the riders.
It is essential that we make an effort of atleast looking out for the driver in front and the one on your back ,and slow down if we dont see the person for sometime so he can catch up. This will not slow you down but only make the group riding faster.
Last but not the least - a bsnl mobile phone

These are my inputs .Not pointing a finger at anyone..no ways but just hoping for a more better ride in the future. Drive safe guys !

Bro......the lead & sweep order was exactly follwed till chenganassery..?from there we lost our order...till there sreenath chettan was the lead & jayamohan chettan was on the back.....so the riders are covered from front & back......nobody lagged at that time....

i guess you are talking about Varun sumadhan chettans incident......he is so luck that he joined with us again.....hope it will improve in future...

one question....whats with the bsnl phone.....?

Group ride etiquette was posted before the ride and no one cared to follow that. Our lead/sweep was perfect till Changanassery, after that it was terrible. On return trip, everything was out of coordination like Sibu said

It happens at every ride, that some one gets lost, me being the victim most time This time, I lost two times.

Said strictly no overtaking inside group, but seen so many unnecessary overtakings and risky maneuvers after we left the plains.

Well said bro lot of unnecessary overtakings were there we all are going to a same destination and was having a lot of time to spare,still lot of rash overtaking was there and use of proper indicators was also not followed as i was the small pillion i was noticing everything becuase i don't have anything else to do all senior members were doing a great job from sreenath bro...ninja maman...and continues to AJ bro..(still continues)...till changanssery group ride was awesome .After that it happened to be a race drive :| nobody actually cared of the lead and sweep

OK !!! So it seems like I owe you all a big apology.... I was speeding and making some unnecessary over taking on my way back. I met Jayamohan Bhai yesterday evening and I was telling him the same. As I told you all the day we met I was riding in such a huge group for the first time. My adrenalin was pumping like I was on over drive. Couldn hold on to that temptation of going faster.. But the incident with vagamon hill decent guys believe me I cannot see anything through my rear view mirror and I wasn't speeding, I was just keeping a careful pace. I waited at the base of the hill for all you to join and you didn show up. I was worried and turned back to reach you guys but then I reached another junction which I passed and there was a marker board pointing to kottayam. That was completely a new road. I asked the locals there, which road was that? they said it was a newly opened road. So I thought in my mind you guys took that road and so I went as fast as I could in that direction till I reached PALA. Then I realised some thing is not right here. Again I turned back and headed for Erattupetta for no avail. I searched the entire area and I decided to go back to TVM alone and on my way back I thought of ICE sheet from G-mail so stopped to take a print out and call you guys as I had left my mobile Vishnu and that's how I met u all again.
I assure you guys from next ride onwards I will be a true Xbhpian and care for my group and stick with them and ride safe

I am happy that all the guys from trivandrum returned with out a single incident.

ahhh... the vagamon hangover still lingers....

Guys, if anyone going to Kollam on spares buying ride, please inform me too... I also need to get a few things and resume full fledged riding . Because of the damn hiccups and because Josephji is very busy, I'm not riding much these days... I'm not liking it much...
