  • 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..
    Trying to make ends meet....

          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

              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.

                        Its nice to see a good response... I would again request everyone to attend coming G2G to clear doubts and Gear availability chechk

                        Please mention Bellow what all gear you might need for the ride.. Those who have borrowed gear three times please buy your gear ASAP. who ever is willing to provide gear plese mention your name against the request.
                        Example -- XYZ - Kneeguards - ABC



                        -- Borrower --- Gear Requested - Provider (contact No. optional)



                        1. Your name -Knee/elbo Grds, Gloves - Rohitlc 9881250929


                        P.S = We (seniours) are taking efforts so that you dont have to miss the ride for not having gear , please be responsible, return gear as soon as possible after the ride. Travel to the place suitable to lender ,do not ask him to come as per your convenience he is already taking extra efforts. And most importantly buy the gear that suits you ASAP. Monsoon is coming!! More rides to come!!!

                          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.

                                Jacket is way out of my means now....
                                I can spend max 1k for ride gears at the moment..
                                I was planning to get knee and elbow guards, and try for a glove with knuckle protection..

                                So will Hoodies with elbow guards suffice??
