The Official Pune Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[trustvishwas]

mumbai sucks.pune people by comparison are Kings.

Thanks for formally accepting what we all knew.

Just to share my viewpoint, why are we harping about technical discussions all the time? Its not that i hate technical discussions but lets face what has been happening everytime.

I mean, the presentations could be mostly hardcore technical related and presented by one brave individual. Which is quite a turnoff for the non technical guys or the ones who are not intrested in knowing why the piston goes up / down. Many ride just for the fun of it.

Maybe, in one of the discussions, we can have a discussion on bike maintainance tips or info about good mechs/why your mechanic is good. I mean stuff where group participation will be required.

+1. Imagine a guy like me whose last touch with education was around 20 years back

I agree with both the citizens above ! Having a tech discussion wasn't the idea but yeah if we are to have something like this again it sure will be cool. The reason why stuff like this dies out over a period of time is because stuff like this ceases to be fun after a while and starts to look more like work. I would rather wanna chill with my fellow rider brothers and have casual biking talks. I am in for whichever way it is done tho.

Wow. Something that makes sense. Really surprised to see this coming from you But you hammered the nail on its head.

video shooting the discussions and posting them up will be overdoing it all. lets stay away from this, no ?

+100. It is really pointless. We will not be having any presentation in a formal setting and the quality of footage would be crap and if a guy is not bothered to attend a presentation (in which he is sooo interested), who would want to see it?

GRUBSHUB : This is indeed a very good place. I foresee parking issues tho as there isn't much space to accommodate 10 bikes at a time. Or is there enough space ? Go Vishwas go !

I have been to this place and this place has sufficient sitting space but no chance of finding bike parking. Also one should wonder why a great place at such a good location is empty at most of the times. Let's try this place out couple of times and decide.

Also I HATE last minute suggestions about date and place change. Why not suggest a change well in advance?

Alrite Kartik..even thou i am not a rich guy (and i dont own a Renault Fluence), i would take your bill, if i like ur modelling

Who is this guy? Let's catch him with his car one day and ask him for a treat.

Thats alrite vishwas Sir, We can meet up at roopali today as decided and on the way back after the G2G check out this place..

The reason its empty cz i had mentioned in the first post as it has two side seating area....The inside area is occupied as AC sitting and all is present...The outside one is empty cz its in the open and most of crowd (teenage one) prefer sitting in AC and all...No other reason i found apart from this one.....

@ TenHut- Parking yes, there is enough back side of the restaurant which is allocated....also if its insufficient then Kalyan Bhel parkiing is near by which is safe....again the reverse side has enough place for accommodating bikes, cars in straight line if the Renault Fluence guy shows up!!

Lets not reinvent the wheel.
Boopali IT IS for today, followed by may be a ride to all the suggested venues for checking it :P

Just one query, Does using after market handle grips helps to ride easily in traffic as compared to the stock handle grips for R15 or any other super sports bike?

Asking out of curiosity.

No. The only thing that can make an R15 easier to ride in traffic is a bigger engine

P.S.: The above statement is a personal opinion. No offends to any R15 owners intended. I was trying to not mince words.

[satyenpoojary]

Yes it does (and this I say for most general machines)
- Dampen Shocks
- Dampen Vibes
- Ease the grib by cushioning it


But yeah they are not substitute for wearing a padded glove, and or use steering dampners


Edit: Antz, an extra tooth to the front sprocket or the Simota air filter is enough as well if you wanted to imply that the low end torque needs a bump.

Dude install grip covers...Helps a lot!! get it for like 30Rs. Pretty smooth, they can be installed right on top of your current grips. Look out for sponged ones. They are comfortable. Try em out, not gonna cost much either. The rough grip pattern of the current handle gets quite strenous in heavy traffic.

Waste..but Hahahahhahaha

+100

[shrinathrao]

OK but i think i cant order the simota air filter in pune and i spoke to joel he is giving me long list of other things which i dont wanna mess with my stock engine. So time being i think using handle grips over stock ones will be a better option.

@eshan- right said.

[satyenpoojary]

^ DUDE Antz took it a different tangent. The grips do not relate to the torque factor at all, I wonder why Antz brought it up in the first place! But it did bring out a new tangent to the discussion

'Ease of ride' - from a pressure on palms point of view - Grips would work
'Ease of ride' - From the low end torque - I gave the answer and some more tricks may be

Changing the front sprocket is an easy to do hack and not really a engine tampering thing (unless you plan to plonk in something that alters the gearing behaviour itself (typically in a lawman scene of like 4-5 extra tooths!)

Find and install a lower profile rear tyre\rim may be

Wait for Simota may be

If you wish to reduce pressure on your wrists, try an extension like icemng has done for CBR. Will ease your riding posture.

I did it maybe because of the stuff I had been reading recently.

And its obvious that padded gloves is the best thing you can get if you want to reduce the load on your palms.

The other option is to modify your riding position accordingly so that you do not put pressure on your back and wrists while riding.

For more info on how you can attain the optimum riding position (which can even help you get through with a SS1600 without a back/ wrist ache) refer to the article on page #34 on this e-mag

Bike India August 2009

I read this particular article when my bike's odo read 650ish km. The next day it read 1080km .(No back/wrist/foot/head aches )

P.S.: Is ZMAtic coming for the G2G tonight?

[RAK]

Guys any update on Kaas? Whats the status there?

:P Ya ya stop flaunting about your readings and research!
If I write about what the new pulsar lacks (based on my readings), Bajaj R&D would be stunned how to plonk hooters on to the bike

(joke! ok Joke! Busy reading IT manuals)

Guys any update on Kaas? Whats the status there?

Kuch Kaas nahi?


BTW Thanks Rishabh for the bike! Its SO much more fun and SO better than being fleeced by autowallahs in Pune!
