    No, nothing stinky or stale....just what was left-out this time. Some spirited yet thoughtful and involving theoretical discussion on motorcycle geometry, handling and control.

    My suggestion for the next G2G: We sit in for a couple of hours of theoretical work, white-board, markers, real bikes to relate the knowledge with and a couple of models to get through with the concepts. Then discuss all that we have heard and said over eats and drinks.

    Just one day of practice on some empty round-abouts is not going to do much good. Had all learning been possible through emulation and follow-the-leader, then we'd probably not have had schools, colleges and books.

    Get to know the concepts, analyze them within and put them into practice during each and every ride. I don't recommend sticking your knee out on every turn on way to and back from work. Maintain sanity. Even in school, we had practicals once or twice a week. And in a lab...

    The topic: a HOT favorite: Leaning and turning a motorcycle.

    Say what everyone???
    I don't let my motorcycles interfere with my motorcycling...

      I am game. We will practice leaning on the table for the moment!!!

      I guess time will be similar. Place, I guess will be similar too!
      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

          Absolutely...Just would like add one thing, we as xBHPian's often ride together in a formation, but seldom do it properly.This is one area i think we must improve as watching out for each other is as important in today's world.


          @Bandhav- Good thing u mention abt the follow ups, waise bhi winter me everything goes cold..

          @ Ken da- looking forward to more such lessons...

          cheers

                            How much would I love to come.....but then, coming to Delhi again on this weekend would not be possible, I have already promised Desi that I will be in Bhatinda at his home with the family, nonetheless, I will keep a watch on the thread.
                            I wish and Hope that Mates will give the details and information and would Stay away from OTs.
                            and I hope, that this is not going to be the concluding G2G. We have got a whole lot to Learn.... Hope OF is listening.
                            @ Mates: Please make sure that someone takes the initiative to jot down the major points of the G@G, will be beneficial for people like me ,who would love to attend, but would not be able to Attend.and yes, OF definately is a learned/ experienced rider but guys, don't just hesitate to show your skills. nobody here would be a Preacher or a Teacher, we are here for Good Practice Sharing.... so, if there's anything That You know and that u think is worth sharing, Please come out.
                            @OF: I hope I dint say anything that was offensive. if yes, accept my apologies.
                            Its not about the BHP or the CC, its about one common religion called Biking!!!
