The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

I dunno man, I have Woodlands from 1995 (they cost 3100/- back then) and they're still tough and fine after innumerable rides and hikes (one of which was through the Himalayas and the Chitwan rhino sanctuary in Nepal in 1999). Maybe the recent ones are not all that tough.

@Samuel ... Hey even I am very satisfied with the quality of these boots .... They performed excellent in snow, water and desert sand all of which I could experience during my Ladakh tour ! .... I got them from Woodland showroom in Bandra, Mumbai .... Are you sure yours were original? .... I am asking as I was getting the same shoes at almost half price two lanes next to the showroom from a local shoe shop but I did not trust the quality as these days many fake branded shoes are floating around in the market

I guess the question was whether these were good riding boots. They are not good riding boots as they will not prevent you from twisting your ankle during a spill, as they do not have a rigid ankle support/protection. Questions re their usage as all terrain boots were not raised. But I guess they do well against the elements as you have pointed out basis your experience. But, they are not good riding boots as compared to the one made for the specific purpose of riding a motorcycle.

I totally agree ... No two opinions about that .... My response was to Samuel's post !

No need for you to come to this G2G. Just hand over cash to our collection agent who will be standing outside your office building. For your reference, he is known as RakshasH aka cRash.

After being ditched by Antz, I had to say farewell to my Mumbai friends and ride back alone to Pune. Antz lived upto his name and I am sure that he really has a heart the size of an ant.

I took the turn towards Pune. I was ripping along on my new bike at 70kmph (now not so new after so many crashes). I know this is way too fast but I was in a hurry to reach home to my dog. After going some distance, I came towards a fork on road. Even though I have toured extensively, having come from goa (after couple of sleepless nights due to rocks and ants in the bed), I was not sure which road to take.

Luckily I found a couple of guys riding a P220. I stopped near them and asked them which road to take. I was saluting them in Nazi style when suddenly one guy threw himself on my riding glove. I tried to avoid him but he succeeded in hitting my glove with his nose. My hand being rock solid because of exercise I do in office (after all, I am a software guy with no work to do in office
