Pee180 has promised that treat would be free breakfast for all those who come on the ride.

Mala tar yeun de ride la...Mug baghu!!!

Although I'm pretty sure that I am traveling on Sunday, you can put my name down in the tentative list; just in case my travel plans are canceled.

Would be coming on the Ninja!

@Eshan: The R15 is a pretty good choice!! Congrats once again and enjoy. Just don't forget a proper running in.

Yes a proper running in would be done. Expecting delivery on Thursday.

Hi all!!
I was wondering if you all would allow a kid like me into the tribe... ??
Also considering the fact that i will probably have the smallest displacement bike in the group... and the fact that xBhp_Pune almost exclusively consists of experienced senior members.. seems that i have little chance of getting in..

If given the chance, i will be regular in meets and rides, and will try my best not to let anyone down..

@Dart - cc does not matter ...come along
anyways we are too told to ride fast. We try to keep ourselves below 140kmph

Thats alright. Make sure you have your safety gear. Check page one of this thread.

We have our meets on Wednesday around 8pm. Venue is either TMC - The Moto Cafe - Bavdhan or Grubshup - Law college road.

Damn if I had my old bike he would still beat me with that speed

[amitredefined]

@EePee180 - Congrats for the v2.0

@Dart - Sure ... will see you around.

Regarding safety gears,
I have a few queries
i) I have a riding glove, not a half-glove, but nothing too fancy either.
Do i need the special plastic reinforced gloves? as in the ones with knuckle protection?
ii) About the riding jacket, i have next to no idea. All i know that i dont have one, and cannot afford to spend a huge amount on money on one either. Any idea where i should get it from and for what price?

Good questions before confirming on a weekend ride. I suggest you attend tomorrow's g2g which is at The Moto Cafe Bavdhan 8pm and get your doubts cleared, yes all your questions in regards to Safety gear, group riding skills, speeds and all that will be solved.

Is it necessary to carry your passports for a ladakh tour? A colleague of mine asked as he is planning to do the same on his Bull350 this July. As I am not enough qualified to answer this, I request the recently Leh'd persons to reply on this.
Thanks

1) Knuckle protection is really essential , Buy one, chk out DSG and cramster.
2) Budget jacket starts from 4000Rs brands - Scoyko , DSG , Cramster ,R-jays and others ( in increasing order of prices).For time being Use Elbow guards with thick jacket.
