    Noooooooooooooooooo! Don't say that! Never jinx it. Never point out good weather. It goes bad in a jiffy! *fingers crossed*

    Is it me? Or has this thread lost activity? Do we know which ride people are going to bring to track? Or is it too early to know and list it down? XD

    Swiggy Mayhem!
    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!

      anyone?

      besides, I am coming home on bike from mumbai and i am pretty sure that dad wont let me ride anymore. Is there any other way to transport bike from erode->chennai for the track day? if not any way to hire a bike or something?
      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.

        I'm not too sure about the bike rentals. There must be loads of bike rentals out here in Chennai. As for transporting your bike, you can do it by train, right?

        EDIT: Ok, I just hit searches for motorcycle rentals in Chennai, and there were not too many I could find. The only couple that I did find would only rent out Royal Enfields. There must be something out there, but I seriously doubt you'd be able to rent out a bike that would be fit for track. They'd be focussing only commuter bikes. Best bet is to get your bike down here, bro.
