The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[revvhard]

Yeap, my brother build this at his home & tried on his ford fiesta. Cannot comment on results, but there are people who have claimed to gain benefit from this.

There are a few testimonials on their site too, but as i have no knowledge whatsoever about what this technology is....was looking to get some feedback from any1 who has used this.

It was a fantastic G2G yesterday night. Full of technical discussions and what not. I really feel sorry for those who could not attend. Thanks GT for taking the initiative.

A request to all riders joining on the Ganpati Pule ride- Please do not be late (applies to me too). Lets make sure we reach at 6 am sharp at the meeting point. We need to cover 600 odd kms with some time spent at the destination and its better to cover most of the distance during the daytime.

I was about to post it, glad you did it.

Btw that position of sitting on the bike is solved now, i just need to hold on more at the time of braking cz that's where I'm slightly slipping ahead, but with practice it should work out. Thanx for clearing that doubt.

EDIT - yup feel sorry for those whose missed it!!!

BTW - Rockad miya ab to chalo sarovar!!!

Route: Pune-Kaas-Tapola road-Mahabaleshwar-Pune

A few pics from my Pune- Kaas-Tapola road-mahabaleshwar ride I did on monday. Amazing place. Roads not very good right now. But great scenery all around.

Return trip will be over 650odd km. You probably won't get time to go into the water. Ganpatipule is not *going in the water* friendly either (read: Dangerous). Plan accordingly.

Thanks antz. Yes I got to know about it being a rocky beach and dangerous. The time we spend there will be for a little bit of rest and lunch.

The directions in map posted in the Ganpati Pule ride details was not as discussed in the GTG yesterday, my bad.



Below is the corrected map...

Most of us have recently ridden to Guhagar so road conditions are familiar till Chiplun. It would be great and very helpful if someone who have recently been to Ganpati pule throw some light on the road conditions and do's and don'ts after the Chiplun.
Do's and don'ts for the entire route will also be appreciated and will definitely prove helpful

The only don't I can think of currently is ,
Do not venture in waters !!
Even last weekend two of them(infy employee) were swept away in tarkarli waters provided both of them were swimmers . So strictly do not venture into waters.
