The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[RedFlash]

Just few places I know [Considering that there should not be problem to park and to keep gear]:

1. Aashirwad Hotel (Beside SKN Hospital near Sinhagad Road)
2. Oasis (NDA Road)
3. Woods [Really good place]
4. Kailas Dhaba (Shivapur)
5. Joshi {I don't know full name} (Shivapur)
6. Mahableshwar (Near Baner{I guess})

P.S. There will be rush no matter where we go as it is Saturday.

I think One of the many Hotels near Chandni Chowk will be perfect for this G2G.

Big Wheels sounds too far for a G2G if its happening in evening..Will have to ride in a group at late night while coming back!.. .. well 'm pretty much a biker and love to ride.. but it could get a bit fussy.... Rather we can ride to Lonavala in the morning and have a G2G, have technical discussions for extended hours and can still come back by noon... Just a thought

Else keep it around city for evening.

Big wheels would be slight costly! My current observation after being there for last meet with friends and the food is not that great for the price it is offered..

In that case woods would be perfect..

Nice pics Meghnad.

Since I am a fazer rider too, I also want to share a few experiences from my side and add a few questions.

1) Disadvantage: folding footrests (stock)
Whenever I lean and the footrest scrapes the tarmac, the folding movement of the footrest pushes the foot up, and at high speeds this is really bad. (my opinion)
Any solutions and expert opinion for this issue (other than replacing the footrests )??

If your footpegs didn't fold up like they do you would be crashing (pivoting) your bike every single time you drag a peg. So that really isn't a disadvantage.
If your footpeg is scraping the tarmac it usually means that you are riding on exaggerated lean angles which can be fixed through correct body positioning.

Thanks Rohan.
Time to inject real physics in my riding style... eager to learn more, theoretically and practically.

@Vkavadia: Actually I haven't seen twist of the wrist yet... downloaded vol. 2, but can't find vol. 1 anywhere. Will definitely watch the video and try to implement the techniques. Thanks a lot.

But many a times I had no option than scraping the footrests. My pants got no knee sliders you see. :-P

I'll be in pune next month, hope to catch up with you guys.....

[Sumit_B]

I don't have any issues with the G2G location, wherever it may be. Will be present anyhow.

Since I haven't been to WOODs, would like to be there.

@inder, sneh: karna yah hai ki is tribe ko badhana hai...we need to increase the number of members and create a base.

@all xBhpians from Pune: if your name is not on the list, kindly let me know. We need to know exactly how many and who all.

Where are you NV?coming for G2G?

[kartikpai]

My Vote For Woods Too . BTW anyone aware if we can book a table up there ? It would make things easier . .

Reposting:

I'm moving into a new flat in KP which doesn't have covered parking.. That was in fact one of my criteria ( ) but the rest of the deal was too good..

So now I need a cover for the bike (which is a 220 for those of you who don't know) which has to be rain-proof of course.. btw - rain proof doesn't mean that the cover would immune to the eroding and dirtying properties of rain. It means that the cover will keep the bike dry...

I find it hard to believe that no one knows about bike covers out here so I'm assuming that this post has gone unnoticed twice...

@everyone, please feel free to add new location suggestions as below:-

NEW LOCATION :-

PS: Any location will be fine for me (in pune district i.e :P)

actually, most people do not use the as they are very cumbersome and attract sarcastic coments :P so maybe thats why no one is respponding to this
I had purchased a nylon-resin cover -the shiny silver type with the bike 3 years ago but i used it only for a couple of days. i will see if i can find it (lots of shifting done so will have to search for it)
