Re: The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Yes, I'm planning to buy a pair of knee and elbow guards pretty soon, but I'm not fully sure if I'll be able to get these by this Sunday necessarily. If not I'll borrow them for now.
While I also intend to buy a proper riding jacket (have the SPG Helios in mind, right now) eventually, I'd like to defer it for a month or so... (I'm almost bankrupt after purchasing my ZMR in cash )
Till then I'll make do with a thick Woodlands winter jacket that I have. It's surely not a biking/riding jacket per se, but backed by an elbow guard, it'll more than suffice for now!

Any suggestions/recommendations for the elbow & knee guards would be really great! Since I'm tight on budget, I think I'll have to forget the bionic ones
I've seen elbow & knee guard combo @ Rs 1400 on JM road, made by FOX, as far as I remember.

Hi,

You will need knee guards and riding jacket. I have extra pair of knee guard (the velcro of straps is gone... but can be used once or twice) so if you fine with it let me know i will get it for G2G.... For jacket ask someone in the thread to lend for the ride.... If you can purchase both by Sunday then well and good.. otherwise for this ride you may borrow and enjoy the ride with us.

Regards,
Sid

Thanks a lot [MENTION=40437]siddharth_ZMR[/MENTION], bro for the offer! If I cannot procure one by this weekend I'll borrow yours - shall confirm by Saturday.

I have an extra pair of elbow guards but I guess if you get a good jacket, using the guards would be redundant.

Again, thanks a lot [MENTION=61414]CHANDRABABU[/MENTION], bro for the offer! If I cannot procure one by this weekend I'll borrow yours - shall confirm by Saturday.

First of all, welcome to the ride. No contribution fee / membership fee etc. Of course, you can donate some large amount to our admin relief fund

Like Siddharth said, you can borrow necessary riding gear. Without knee guard/riding pant and elbow guard/riding jacket, you will not be permitted to join the ride. If you wish to borrow gear, please post it here. Co-ordinate with the lender to pick it up and drop it back.

It would also be better if you can attend at least one offline G2G (get together). It usually happens each Wednesday and will be happening tonight at Hotel Grubshup. It will give you an idea of guys who you will be riding with and whether you are comfortable with them. It helps instead of just joining in for the ride. Again there is no contribution / membership fee for attending offline G2G. Of course, you can again decide to donate some large amount to our admin relief fund

Thanks a lot [MENTION=23857]trustvishwas[/MENTION], for the warm welcome!
Given my present bank balances, I think I'll pass the offer to donate to the "admin relief fund" this time.
I'll try my best to make it to Grubshup tonight, but can't confirm. Also, who do I meet once I'm there? Neither do I don't know anyone, nor would anyone know me! If it's not a problem, please PM me your number, so that I have at least one contact for tonight and Sunday!

As far as the question of whether I'll be comfortable with the group or not goes, I'm pretty positive I'll be! I'm already very touched and impressed with the warm welcome extended to me and the helpful and friendly nature of the members here! Particularly, I really appreciate [MENTION=40437]siddharth_ZMR[/MENTION] and [MENTION=61414]CHANDRABABU[/MENTION] for voluntarily offering riding gears to someone who they haven't even met!


See all of you soon (hopefully tonight)!

Kudos,
Sounak

Re: The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Well well well. Mr. Chitale himself is making it to the meet, that too on his new ride. Ask him to get 5-6 boxes of Kaju Katli and Pedha.
We could use some desserts after breakfast. :P

We don't want him to run off from the first G2G and/or ride itself.

I'll try my best to make it to Grubshup tonight, but can't confirm. Also, who do I meet once I'm there? Neither do I don't know anyone, nor would anyone know me!

Precisely why you should turn up at the offline G2G. At least see the faces once. Just look at a group of 8-10 guys shooting breeze and a collection of helmets / jackets. That would be out group.

If it's not a problem, please PM me your number, so that I have at least one contact for tonight and Sunday!

My number is (*@@%%%%!%.

As far as the question of whether I'll be comfortable with the group or not goes, I'm pretty positive I'll be!

The group also needs to be comfortable with you riding alongside

He he, good point indeed! I hope I don't disappoint (or make anyone "uncomfortable") when we meet tonight !

BTW, from when to when will you all be there tonight?

And thanks for the number! Mine is (*()$$@$#)

If you manage to buy elbow & knee guard combo @ Rs 1400 made by FOX, rest assured you are buying fake cheap protection. I will advise take [MENTION=29781]siddarth[/MENTION]_ZMR's offer for knee guard and get some good pair of gloves with the fund. That wil last longer. For entry level, you can look up for cramster.

For jacket, i can lend you mine. Now please appreciate me in particular for offering the Jacket and advice.

He he, you surely do deserve a bigger appreciation for lending me your jacket, which is much more expensive than elbow and knee guards!

Well, I might have been wrong about the FOX thing - it could have been some other brand, or like you said, a cheap imitations. I think, given my budget, I'll have to stick to cramster only for now. Has anyone here used their protective gears?

OT:
But I just checked online, and found that "100% Original" FOX elbow & knee guard combos are available for as low as Rs 450 on eBay!
