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.

roger that... thanks...

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.

Pune Folks, Where can i get Front disc pads for R15 V1? Both YFS and Monarch are out of stock and wont be sourcing it for a week or so.

The calipers are now meeting/mating directly to the front disc and making that "kaichi ka dhar" wala sound. FOTM-Its that urget.

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.

Yesterday's G2G was fun as usual. Thank you vishwas ji for shredding light on ideal sitting position and helping people save money that they would have spent on padding their seat. I am assuming after reading this you will start charging from next time
I Hope everybody enjoy and continue to learn from G2Gs like the way i am.

At first the roads were pretty good. Till Bamnoli they were ok. After that it was worse. No road as such. Only gravel, stones and pot holes. The road again became good once we were near Mahabaleshwar.
But the route I must say is amazing. Its a small 1 lane road covered with trees/farms/village houses/lake (at one point of time) on the sides. Feels like you are riding on some rich guy's private estate. One needs to be careful there as the ST (lal dabba) buses plying those roads are not accustomed to traffic coming from the opposite side. They just drive like its a BRT route and there are a lot of blind corners.

YFS has the front disc pads for R15 V1. I replaced them today only and it costed Rs 468 including taxes. Labour charges were Rs 250, but it includes (Race bearing greasing + disc pad fittings + Injector cleaning) so not sure exactly how much they charged for disc pad fitting.

'ts awesome news... two days back they were out on inventory...
Not bothered much on labour, just the spares and my local mech will replace it for 20 odd Rs

I second that. Suvarnarekha is a good ASC - the one at Karvenagar. Mr Dada Joshi is the proprietor. Give him my reference that you are a buddy of the Colonel Joshi who went to Leh after getting his bike serviced from Dada; he will help you.

Congrats, Suro.

I got an email from Xbhp that they have sent up my Leh log to Wanderers on their own and that I am to be among the top 10, free T shirt yada yada. Does this make any sense?

I would be grateful for some info on the following routes:

a) Pune to Bijapur - https://maps.google.co.in/maps?saddr...mra=ls&t=m&z=8

b) Pune to Dharwad - https://maps.google.co.in/maps?saddr...mra=ls&t=m&z=8

c) Pune to Karwar - https://maps.google.co.in/maps?saddr...mra=ls&t=m&z=7

I have an option to get posted to any one of the above places in a couple of months. My main requirement is to know the condition of the roads to these three places with a view to ride up to Pune on long weekends to spend with my family esp my father who is recovering from cancer surgery.

Thanks in advance.

b) Pune to Dharwad - https://maps.google.co.in/maps?saddr...mra=ls&t=m&z=8

Simple straight forward super good 4 laned highway

Pune - Satara - Karad - Kholapur - Best time to ride is early morning where there's almost none on the road & it's doable in 3.5-4 hours
Kholapur - Nipani - Belgaum - Another easy stretch, but watch out for the mild ghat section that can distract you with beauty can be done between 45 minutes to an hour & 15 min
Belgaum - Dharwad - Another easy stretch & watch for Belgaum's natural beauty; stretch can be done in about 2.5-3 hours.

Lots of fuel station enroute; tank up at Pune & you can fill in M/S, M.P Automobiles BPCL, Satara & that will easily last until Dharwad (on CBR 250R)
