Are there any Mumbai meet as such

[kartikpai]

Hello Mates,

I hail from Pune & am not a very active member of x-bhp(or any other site) due to Odd office timings
Need you people's help for a ride.
I am planning to ride from Pune to Bangalore & then to Hassan(will this be shorter distance or is there any alternate way to Hassan?).
Need your inputs on road conditions & best routes to take.
Never been to Karnataka before, had been to Hubli but that was long time back.
Also would like to know if anybody here from Malnad College of Engineering in Hassan?? If yes, please PM me need some info from you

Regards,
Ride Safe.

Hey , I am an MCE Alumini 09 batch from Mechanical engineering . The best route for hassan would be

Pune - Belgaum - Hubli - Sira Bypass -SH84 - Bellur cross - channraypatna - hassan.

http://goo.gl/maps/7feMl

We had done pune to sira by pass in almost 9.5 hrs. Though we were driving & we drove almost non stop except for the fuel break in hubli .
If you leave pune by early morning 4:30 , you should be able to make it hassan for dinner at Al Taj Or Gate

While returning from our south india tour , we had used this route. ALAS I went to hassan but the route is good . THe only concern is usually karnataka style speed breakers.

Cheers,
Pai

@Folks riding to RK's tomorrow.

You can meet us at Khopoli corner around 7.45 - 8.00 am

[trustvishwas]

Ride to Lonavala, Khopoli & return

Plan is to ride till Khopoli, climb the ghats and end up at RK's, Lonavala for breakfast.
(Expected running - 140 km round trip - from Hinjewadi flyover)

This will not be a rip-fest but the ride would be around 100+ kmph speeds.

Date :17.3.2013
Meeting Point : Below Hinjewadi Flyover
Meeting Time : 05.45 am Time revised to 06.00 am
Leaving Time : 06.00 am Time revised to 06.15 am

Anyone wishing to join in, please confirm.

Confirmed riders :

trustvishwas - N250 + 1 (son coming as pillion)
Niranjanvaidya - N250 / Duke / P150 classic / . . .
Amitredefined - N250

Sanj_350 - RE Classic 350

Need some volunteers as overall tail. Urvashi has volunteered for that but since she will leave the ride at khopoli and proceed towards Mumbai, we need to assign another overall tail. Siddharth Gupta had volunteered as overall tail on last smile stone ride so it would not be fair to assign him this job.

As usual, all mandatory safety gear and documentation mentioned in the first post of this thread is required. (knee guards will be checked by kicking your knees with riding boots) ;-

All riders are requested to kindly top up fuel and air on Saturday. There won't be any halts for re-fueling

[sundaram2329]

Will try meeting you at Khopoli corner by 7:50 or so. If I cant spot you guys or make it in time, I shall head forward to RK's and meet you there directly. Ride safe folks

Siddharth Gupta and Urvashi are riding to Mumbai tomorrow. May be you can tag along with them.

Urvashi has a new bike so she would need to maintain run-in speed.

Firstly, Akshat Sharma and nastrofaction are the same guys.
And I am still tentative based upon, what time we should be back to Pune/Wakad ?
Or if any member is interested in returning back by 11.00 at max.

Absolutely. It would be great to have some company en route to Mumbai.
Besides I guess I'll be the only one coming for this meet from Mumbai. No one has confirmed yet so yea

Whoa. Thats SOME turnout. 18+ riders. I guess I'll have to reach RK's earlier than planned, to occupy a seat for myself. I wouldn't want to have my Uthappam standing up

[shahbaz63]

If few of you remember, we waved at each other today morning near by Lonavala

you guys were in proper formation despite of so many Riders, Loved that .

[trustvishwas]

There were 3-4 Ninja 250s and 2 Ninja 650, 1 GT 650, couple of Duke and several other bikes. Some Ninja owners decided to join and leave midway.

No I was not leading. I was just ahead of others ;-)

[dirtymind]

Sorry guys, couldn't make it.
But next time will surely be there.
