The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[antz.bin]

Hi Sid,
Hi Kartik,
Any particular reason safety apart from wild animals?

Carnivorous Wild Animals!! The place is famous for its Black Panthers. And Black panthers are famous for being invisible at night

We didn't stay there very long but the resort place was right in the middle of the jungle.

[abhijitkn]

^yeap got that. Was going through images on Google & I could see black panthers in the search....but still I'm planning to camp...

[TenHut]

@ Dear Tenhut sir FYI soon Vishwas ji will be seen on TV doing secret Test ride and promoting Xbhp and that secret company soon is going to promote some new and hidden riders of Xbhp too...

You got the right rider for the above mentioned activities.
Just in case if your secret company ever needs a test rider who can really ride gimme a call

Introduction
The Pune xBhp group was formed in early 2009. What started off as a group of three eventually became a community of about 20+ bikers in just a few months. The group includes students, professionals and a lot of techies. The group is varied in nature and consists of cornering junkies, highway rippers, adventurers, tourers and stunters too.

Pune xBhpians mostly meet up during the weekends for rides and in the evenings on weekdays for casual G2Gs.

Most common meeting time for weekday G2Gs is around 8:00 PM and meeting points are:

1. Hotel Roopali, FC Road, Pune [Weekday casual meets]
2. MotoCafe, Aditya Shagun Mall, Chandni Chowk, Pune [MotoGP and F1 Races]

Most common meeting time for weekend rides is 5:00 AM and meeting point is:

1. Chandni Chowk, Pune

Pune xBhp also has a Google SMS Channel. Subscription is free and once subscribed, participants can stay in tune with activities and announcements. To subscribe, visit http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels...ribe/xBhp_Pune

Documents
a. Valid Driving License: MUST have and carry at all times
b. Bike Registration Papers: Original or Attested Photocopy
c. Bike Tax Certificate: Original or Attested Photocopy

HI Niranjan AKA 'NV',

I had been looking out for an active group of enthusiasts off late in Pune for some time now. It seems that this group is my best bet for this. As I want to be a part of it, lemme know how we go about it? I own a CBR 250R and am keenly interested in the weekend G2G's.
Lookin forward to ride sme time together soon.

Myself and utsav had been to this place last year .Good place for a 2 day ride . But I feel certainly the rates of accomodation given there does not exactly match with what we were told . You can look for accomodation at kamath guest house in dandeli town and then travel across as you need. Some places you can visit certainly . . Syntheri Rocks, Kali Wildlife Sanctuary also I would suggest you to wander inside the forest roads, awesome twisties plus super duper enviroinment. But be safe !
Some tips,
1. Carry enough cash , only one or two ATMs in town and cant trust both of them .
2. Fuel whenever you get a chance ! No fuel outlets in between dandeli and khanapur stretch from belgaum to dandeli road.
3. Do have your dinner at shetty lunch home . . Cheap & Best food and drinks at nominal rates !

Enjay,
Pai

P.S Not able to see the map . Commenting based on the fact that you are hitting dandeli !

Are you heading to Anshi or staying at Dandeli itself? We had been to Anshi last year. No electricity, carry a flashlight. No mobile towers, save battery by switching off your cellphone if it is not BSNL. There is a Anshi Forest Reserve resort, food is good and priced at 1/3rd of Pune prices, tents are an awesome place to stay. Jungle safari / Treks are arranged on request. The stay is adventurous even if you do absolutely nothing.

Hi Kartik and antz...
thanks a lot for the assistance....the main plan is visit to anshi.... if i get company of abhijit then camping is 100% at anshi otherwise stay at the forest reserve or dandeli town....
Thanks for the cash, fuel and communications warnings...

Hi Sid,

I'm in. But as I said earlier, I'll only confirm few days before. Count me tentatively. But why we need to leave on 19th why not on 20th? Also I have 3 person tent so we can use that if there are any camping sites. But I suggest we stay there or nearby for 2 nights.

Hi sorry for the dates mistake.. the dates are 19th and 20th Nov as i will be reaching pune on 18th Nov and would need a day to get my bike ready as it is lying idle in parking since a month now...
