    Man I went to town(lower parel) today late afternoon, n was amazed at very soothing cool breeze blowing over, my bike was waving when I crossed 100 kmph...
    So yeh RIDE SAFE...

    The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

          crosswinds are a feature on every NH that we have traelled on, tyre pressure is crucial for this one and front forks alingment...should keep you all right..

                I have subscribed to the channel but didn't receive any sms from ur side..

                By the way, u said u gonna take the sion-chembur-panvel route. I use the same route. I have asked Ajinkya if he wants to tag along or not..but still no reply from his end.. I didnt see him ol since he confirmed here.. In that case u can tag along if u want..

                But again.. as SB said..we tow are gonna b der at sharp 6am. So the meeting time will b accordingly.. If u r fine then we can ride together..

                Will await ur response..

                  I was talking to Aman(ab.surd) yesterday.. When I asked him if he's coming or not..he said he's got his bike's servicing today.. so he's not sure.. He then asked me wht r u people gonna do over there..

                  Here's wht i told him..
                  It's not a plan as such.. coz ther r plenty of EXperienced riders out there to do the planning.. but this is what i thought of the trip...

                  We'll reach Ganpatipule by aft/eve(depending upon riding speeds n unforeseen incidences). We'll then check in to the hotel, get fresh and take some rest till the heat goes down. Once it'a a bit cooler out side,we'll leave with our cams n stuff.. Enjoy the beach for sometime..take pictures of sunset...Let the posers do some posergiri..

                  After that we can visit the temple. Once done with that..have dinner somewher..

                  For the night we can either sit back at the hotel and those who drink can enjoy their drinks and we can chit chat.. or once done with their drinks..we can head for the beach n spend some time on the beach.. As sandy said.. camp fire/beach fire.

                  Next morning, we'll leave as early as possible.. and check out some near by places. My uncle told me Ganesh gule beach is an awesome place to see.. Nice blue(somewht) water beach..

                  We can start the return journey after the lunch may b by 2-3pm. That way we can easily reach bombay b4 it's too late in the night..

                  Pardon me if i miss anything..

                  Hey that's just wht i have thought bout the trip.. U guys can come up wid some different plans as well.. I m ready to follow any plan..

                  In fact I m ready to stretch the trip for another day n go some more distance down Konkan...

                    Ketan we can ride together. We can co-ordinate in the morning. In case any one of us is running late, other can leave for Panvel.

                    Regarding stretching the plan, i think its good idea. But lets come up with some good places near by. Probably @2 instead of leaving for Mumbai let explore Konkan. I know logistics will be problem, but we are barely 8-10 of us. So we can get easily adjusted somewhere and living expense is also not much.
                    Other Riders please give your opinion.

                    I'll suggest some places in sometime.

                      Gr8..We'll ride together then..
                      I hope u have my cell number..
                      I have urs..

                      Instead of co ordinating in the morning, let's fix a time here itself and let's try to b at Chembur at that time. If someone's getting late, then he'll inform the other guy and he can proceed. How bout meeting at Chembur between 5.30 and 5.45am? I'll b der at sharp 5.30am.


                      About the trip stretching plan.. I was very casual with it.. but I prefer discussing it when we all meet and reach Ganpatipule..

                      I have another small plan(just for me, because it may not b comfortable for all the other riders) which I'll tell you all when we meet at Panvel or when we reach at Ganpatipule...



                      Bottom Line... Sandy n I will ride together.. Time to meet at Chembur 5.30-5.45am. I need ur confirmation over this Sandy..


                      Once again.. at all the tentative riders.. confirm your presence soon. We wont keep a follow up for tentative riders when we reach Panvel McD tomorrow..

                              • so howz carrying wat?
                                first aid kit?
                                tubless kit (I have one)
                                ....
                                A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                                Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.
