      Yes, the payment would be Rs.400 per session. We're planning to have 2 sessions.

      Ah. I'm not giving up so easily, ELD. Try sickness. Enter internship coughing your a** off, and if it helps, stuff a chili up your nostril for effect. A bit harmful, yes, but worth the day at the track. What say thou? :P

      We're trying to start an initiative where we're gathering enough photos or videos
      of erratic Swiggy/Zomato/UberEats riders across all cities so we can cast a spotlight
      on this issue and try and sort it out. If you video-record as you ride, or have a
      dash-cam in your car, or can take SAFELY photographs of instances where these riders
      are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
      us on the thread above. Appreciate it!

      • Ok, i'll be on the tentative list for now, but if i could make it i couldn't ride on the track on 18th as i would have to be at the internship the next day. Wouldn't want to have body ache to get me down the next day too.
        I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

          Hmmm... Sounds good enough. But then again, how about skipping 2 days of internship now?

              We have not paid 1 lac to the track authorities....
              The track officials have been kind enough to make the day a normal pay and practice day.....

              This is what they call a completely unofficial track day without taking the track for rent....

              As usual it is 400/session for indian bikes and 800/ session for imports....
              Imports now might not include the ninja 250....

              any other doubts ???

              @ EL LOCO:
              I am not planning to be rude... But there will be no more additions to the tentative list...

                SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE TRACK DAY / RIDER BRIEFING



                These are a set of instructions that should be followed during the event to avoid unnecessary confusions at the venue. These are NOT rules being imposed on anyone. These are instructions given to the riders for their safety.
                1. Everyone should be wearing a riding jacket with elbow and shoulder protectors. A minimum of denim jackets with elbow sliders worn on them.
                2. Gloves are mandatory for any rider planning to ride on the tracks.
                3. Shoes which cover the ankle must be used. Snickers are not entertained.
                4. Use of a knee and shin slider or a knee guard is recommended.
                5. The visor of the helmet should always be closed when riding on the track.
                6. Everyone should go around the tracks only in the clockwise direction (Even in the pits) to avoid confusion and any mishaps.
                7. If a person is willing to come into the pits, he should sit up raise one of his hands after exiting the final corner. This is to indicate the rider behind of your intentions.
                8. When a rider enters the race track from the pits, he is to look behind (at the entry of c1) and then enter the track after everyone is gone.
                9. Hooliganism will not be entertained at any point of time. Remember we are not going there to race, but to know about track riding.
                10. If you have any experts on your tail (e.g.: Killer, Joel) try to give way and learn their lines by observing them.
                11. Overtaking is to be done in proper racing style to avoid any accidents, i.e. an overtaking maneuver is to be carried out strictly on the racing line to avoid collision. This clearly explains that one can overtake if the rider in front fails to apex a corner.
                12. Borrowing bikes is allowed only on mutual agreement. Under a condition

                * The emergency contact details is mandatory for every rider below the age of 19.

                  • wow, this is really tempting.. is there any way to hire a bike? i'll be home this time and i wont be able to get my bike to chennai.. i can bring all the gears though
                    A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                    Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                      It was only drizzling today. It wasn't raining all that heavily. MSN's predicted rain tomorrow too. At least it isn't as intense as earlier. Touch wood.

                        Dude, you must be kidding. It rained cats and dogs this afternoon though it lasted only for half an hour.

                              I'm keeping my fingers crossed too bro, I'm praying too. The damn problem is, it keeps showering just once or twice during the day and that in itself messes everything up.
