downtown racing

Went to 'Down town racing' after watching nikhils video and gotta say that that place is worth it !

For 200 bucks you get to do 5 laps .
...and if you want an edge over your friends, take the black karts

is it Rs 200 or Rs 500 for 5 laps??

i too went 2 times 200 per head for 5 laps around 5.5 kms ... track is very good except for 2nd last turn where at high speeds underside of cart touches ground.. when i told about this they said it will soon be rectified.. . its open till 11pm .. i went one evening and night.. night was much better

Bhajan singh ka dhaba and Subway at baner opposite Symantec and aundh one both sounds good, also there is a chocolate factory opened up in balewadi and has decent place and tables to sit outside, so we can use that place too as our G2G.

It has good enough parking space for 30-40 odd bikes.

EDIT : Eshan - i think aundh subway has very less tables to accommodate people so i doubt about keeping our gears , Baner subway has good space.

I no where mentioned Aundh Subway, i mentioned Aundh Residing members... N yes iam talking about Baner Subway only which is in front of the Symantec.

Also, if its possible can you click a picture of the other hangout you are mentioning in the post.

Dreams shattered...

My best riding companion Dheeraj K. had a crash on Sunday and unfortunately his left leg ankle was smashed badly. He's doing well now, but will take almost 5-6 months to be back on two wheels. He was fully geared, except for the shoes were not ankle high.

Human beings tend to learn the hard way, m (read we are) one of them . Time to get good riding shoes...

Leh-Ladakh was on the cards this June, now seems to be impossible . I have read Sept-mid Oct is also a good time to be there. Need inputs for this or shall we postpone it till next year? Won't be able to wait till next year. Expert opinion required from the experienced/ senior riders.

EDIT: Also need suggestions/ links for good riding shoes.

Freak, thats bad. Hows the bike now?? what happend exactly, i heard Sanjay also had a fall last week there...
Guys gears are a must

Try out cramster shoes or even AXO Primato are good...

I wouldnt advise you the Army shoes because they are bit soft near the ankle area which i doubt will provide protection but yes you can count them for touring purposes...

Injury degree: You got to see the x-ray!! The bitter part of biking.

His parents are out of station, gonna return on Saturday. Didn't inform them coz they will panic there. His younger brother and we friends are taking care of him. I guess he'll be discharged by Friday evening. You can certainly come and meet him before Saturday, uske baad to main bhi gayab.

He's a tough guy, recovering fast. Gonna carry a plastered leg for next one month. Everything's fine. No need to worry. Bus lamba-chawda bill fata hai, but thanks to his company's mediclaim/cashless policy, everything's covered.
