This was my first g2g with XBHP. Nice ride and a big hug to people who made the arrangements. I have been riding for the last 20+ years on Indian roads and here is my two bits on arrangements next time. As usual riders who knew each other beforehand clung together and formed sub-groups. So next time, when you arrange hotel rooms for individual riders, see to it that riders who are not known to each other (preferably from different states) are put together in a room.

Also one more problem is that peopl3 coming from the same place share the luggage space in each other's baggage, so people will definitely opt to stay together sonce it will be easier to access their stuff. I completely agree with what you are saying. If you are referring to this meet alone, there were too many newbies to group riding who were yet to come out of the shell to openly interact with each other. Its just a matter of time when this would not be a matter of concern. Im sure All of us were like that earlier even with same city folks, but now the story is completely different. I personally can see the change in bangalore folks itself from last year to this one.

Hi

It was my first IS G2G ride. Had a great time.

Stay - Excellent
Food - Good
Over all - Excellent

Will post a few pics from my side soon.

EDIT : Adding some photos.

I did not get a leave for Friday but did not want to miss the G2G at any cost, hence rode solo Friday night from Bangalore.
First photo stop at Electronic City Flyover , just after this click it started raining.

Frankly the food and stay don't matter if we get such wonderful company . It was a great opportunity to meet so many different people from different states and share thoughts.
I got to meet my Leh-mates (@lijok , Anand & Sreejith) together after a along time and had good fun with so many other people as well. @The_monk is quite chilled out much like @bunnypunia whom I met in 2007.

Thanks to all the XBHPians specially to all the organizers.

I also will disagree with putting unknowns together. Anyways ppl will unofficially shift rooms.

"Free drinks for all" is what i will suggest. Obviously drinkers will have to pay more.

Nevertheless, i enjoyed a lot and perfection is an illusion.

I had been to chikkamagalur last year , and the arrangements this year have go up in standards , so is the number of participants . over all it was an awesome time spent with all the state members at an awesome place.

the only problem was day 2 . the agenda wasn't clear . We got lost at some place and then some how joined the group even after not knowing the place name that all were heading to. But even that was fun . if we organize the intro session and the day 2 well, it will be even better.

Thanks to all the organizers who got everything organized so well. a big applause for all of you .

first timers

the line up

Helmet bazaar

@The Monk .

@abhijitkn

Busy photographers

2-Strokers

looking forward for ISG2G 2014
