The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Wow!! Thats one hell of a stretch I would say. Less traffic, Nice Tarmac and beautifull twisties.

Thanks Man!!

You cannot speed or corner once inside the gate. There are guards who will question/harass you then.
You can use the roads before the gate.

Yes, though the corners inside the gate are way better than the outside ones.

I would say the ones inside are tighter than the ones outside. Add to that the fact that all of them are a decline. Way easier to corner on flat or increasing gradient corners.
The ones outside are better than the ones inside. Who is in my team ? We dont want gulf to win this.

+1

Wasnt this the banned reply?
Anyways.. We could do the corners on a downhill stretch going back too. That would make them uphill. But still my vote goes to the outside corners. There is zero interference due to guards and you can clearly see upto 2 corners ahead. We can corner more confidently if we see whats ahead. So.. My vote, +1 Ten Hut.

Anyways.. @Ketan, Biru bhaiya & Teh Hut. Thanks.

All I am asking is at least some discussion related to biking. What do you mean by how much more knowledge? What knowledge has been imparted in G2Gs till date? I am not asking for a classroom environment but expect the talk at least to be biking related. I feel that we meet together because we all are interested in biking. Then why can't we talk about biking?

Do you know that one guy asked some of us in last G2G whether air pressure in different bike's tyres is standard (same). This was a serious question and not a joke. If this is the level of biking knowledge in our group, are we fit even to term ourselves as biking enthusiasts?

You guys are single and staying away from your family so you may be able to spend a whole day in a G2G. I can't. Secondly, do you honestly feel that you can get all members interested in absorbing knowledge for the whole day?

discussions are held related to biking..... how to ride in rain or what problem a person faced on a tour is also related to biking..... what I meant was, its not possible that every time we meet someone has to give some technical knowledge..... now antz is ready with something, so on next meet there will be some serious technical discussion.....

Vishwas we can spend the whole day, permitted we have that time..... in the first 6 months, my distance covered was more than 12k..... but in last 2 months its just 2k..... office timing..... yes we have all the time..... return at 5pm, try to take sleep till 10 or maybe 12, getup & have something, do chit-chat and then goto sleep..... wake up at 5am for office..... yes, we do have hell lot of time.....

hey antz, lovely pics there.....

n why is everyone so much in love with Sharan..... but its lovely name..... Gulfy ..... maybe he also change his change his id to Gulfy.....

The inside corners are tighter agreed, but they also facilitate better lean angles at slower speeds. It would be lovely to take your knee out on such descending corners.I too like the outside corners, but for once, just once, I want the inside corners to be opened up without any restrictions.

n why is everyone so much in love with Sharan..... but its lovely name..... Gulfy ..... maybe he also change his change his id to Gulfy.....

I already did suggest him that!!

[niks_devil666]

Inside corners wont let u ride fast and then u gotta look in the convex mirrors to look around the blind corners which is not really good when cornering (look where u want to go)
although , coming up to the top from the dam is a lot of fun

If you look at the highlighted portion, where do you see words - technical knowledge? I have time and again said talks about biking.

hey Vishwas, how much more knowledge do you want..... are you planning to open a sc ..... on every G2G, might be difficult..... but having a G2G a month, might be useful..... what about on the B'Day celebration..... we'll be having the whole day & we can share the knowledge..... small talks can be held on any G2G.....

You guys are single and staying away from your family so you may be able to spend a whole day in a G2G. I can't.

Sarcasm is good when well aimed. I was replying to your earlier suggestion about spending whole day.

BTW, I also attend office, eat, sleep etc. When you include your family, wife and kids in the equation, the available time reduces by a large extend. This is the only point I was making.

[darkknight]

what vishwas ji means to say is he likes to hang out with you buggers only when biking gyaan will be discussed else he has other personal friends whom he wishes to spend time with


ps:donot mind.but the jokes as well as the technical-non technical subject conversations are being stretched tooooo much on this thread

[trustvishwas]

Seriously, I absolutely agree with what you have said with just a small correction. Not biking gyaan but at least something to do with biking. Afterall, this is called a bikers' group.

Hi Guys,

One of my collegues is planning to purchase a RX-100 (1991 model)
According to him, the bike is in good condition.

He has been quoted a price of 25k.

Since I am completely out of league for this issue,
Just wanted an opinion regarding the price from you people.

Is the price fair or is it too much?
If it isnt fair, then what is the ideal price for a RX-1991 model?

25k is what you get in Mumbai for an extremely well maintained RX... for pune the price seems higher!

Inside corners wont let u ride fast and then u gotta look in the convex mirrors to look around the blind corners which is not really good when cornering (look where u want to go)
although , coming up to the top from the dam is a lot of fun

Does this apply on an RE as well


and PS: +1 to tenhut coz I felled for his bribe of sharing one of his big bikes for another southern india exploitation trip :P


Lets rename this thread the TPTODT!

I have a 1991 RX100 and I had bought it 4 years back for 12K. Though the condition(overall looks) of the bike was not good, the engine was in a good condition.

It all depends on the condition of the bike. If the condition is as good as new, the RX can still demand 30K-35K (only an RX fan knows what its value is). Btw, people rarely sell their RX and people who really are looking for one can go to any limit to spend on one

Have submitted my RX restoration thread. Will post the link here once it gets approved
