I expect a lot of people around and also unwanted attention so if it is possible to keep 2 meeting points - 2 or more if required inside city and 1 big one for the groups to meet up somewhere outside city. Just a thought.Originally posted by prajwalkashyap View Post

Prajwal & Maverick: I've been in this city for about 6 months and yet don't know the places that you are talking about!
IMO, lets just keep it simpler.
Meeting Point #1 can be right at the GIR troupe's hotel. A small group can gather there, which would also help the GIR boys coz they won't know directions inside the city!
Meeting Point #2 can be outside the city like Pranay suggested, I guess the first signal after the Hebbal flyover would be ideal.
Wats your take guys?
Also how about 4.30AM start time? Or even 4AM considering the large group numbers and stretchability of time!
EDIT:
Here's a list of the people who might possibly be making it, including the 'tentative' ones....
1 pranay
2 prafultripathy
3 MavericK46
4 Enthusiast
5 narenr_nair
6 praneshvittal
7 TomSawyer
8 cbr600rr
9 prajwalkashyap
10 Reuterian
11 gd76
12 realredice
13 DragonRider
14 krishnadevanur
EDIT 2:
@Prajwal: Since this is your forte, why don't you put up a basic set of ride rules for this one!

Im sure they are reading this and trying to find time from their busy schedules for this!Originally posted by MavericK46 View PostWhere are Akhil, Srikeerthi and Sunil saars..?
It'll be unfair if Bangalore's own R1 guy, The MOD and Mr. Leh don't come along for the ride
Why don't you take the initiative of sending them a heads up PM, just incase they have missed this!
Dude cc does not matter! Its the experience of the ride!Originally posted by prashanth lobo View PostN btw, i ve a gladi ss... So will it be a prob if i come??... Because i figured most of youll will be ridin more powerful bikes...
Btw, we have another Glady guy i.e. TomSawyer aka Kaveriappa. So you have a brother in arms
Don't worry about being left behind, we have plenty of people here who like to ride easy!

PMed rossiter.
Will fire away one to SKSy as well...
EDIT : PMed rossi and SKSy. There have gotta be more people who're interested in coming to the ride !
As of now, participants are a little sparse for what Bangy is known for

I didn't know that the pump is small. Sankey Tank background would be great to take pictures and wait around for other riders. +1 from me.Originally posted by MavericK46 View Post^^That pump is small. Everyone's gonna be mashed together as the numbers increase. I say, we deviate a little and meet up on the rear-side entrance of Sankey Tank.
Will make for awesome group pics and it necessitates only a small detour back to Mekhri circle.
The more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to co-ordinate. People can co-ordinate with others among themselves to catch up and get the directions, but having more than 1 meeting place will introduce a time-lag as a chain reaction.Originally posted by pranay View PostI expect a lot of people around and also unwanted attention so if it is possible to keep 2 meeting points - 2 or more if required inside city and 1 big one for the groups to meet up somewhere outside city.

How will u lead the GIR Troupe if u don't know the directions to get to the meeting points? I would suggest to make sure that at least 1 person with the GIR Troupe knows the directions and can lead them.
Meeting Point #2 can be outside the city like Pranay suggested, I guess the first signal after the Hebbal flyover would be ideal.
I second that as well due to the expected large numbers. Sankey Tank would be ideal for pictures, but for larger groups, some place further out would be great.
@Mav, can u ride up on Bellary Road and scout out the places to meet up?
Wats your take guys?

This will be one hell of an experience if u have never ridden out in the cool breeze and daylight peeping into your eyes.Originally posted by narenr_nair View PostAnybody living around BTM Layout or Silk Board, not very familiar with the roads around here..
But whats with the 4:30am time. I dont think i have been awake at that time for the past 10 years!!
Ahem..... that would be me!Originally posted by prafultripathy View PostIm sure they are reading this and trying to find time from their busy schedules for this!

If Sksy and Sunil are coming, then they can lead us to Nandi Hills. As usual, I can tail the group.Originally posted by MavericK46 View PostPMed rossiter.

Group riding HAS to be in formation. No exception. Too much ogling and gawking at the R1's and R15 not allowing during the ride. There will be time for that before and after the ride. No showing off ur riding skills. This is not a stunt show.
As usual, riding gear is a must. No chappals. Gloves, helmet and protective jackets are a must. Bring plenty of water. Get ur camera's. Take plenty of my pictures.
More rules later......
Cheers!
Prajwal

Roger that !Originally posted by prajwalkashyap View PostI didn't know that the pump is small. Sankey Tank background would be great to take pictures and wait around for other riders. +1 from me.
I can provide directions from Cauvery theatre till the rear-gate of Sankey. However, that place is a residential area and two (Probably three) 'One's might cause enough of a racket to piss the oldies there.
I'll do some reconnaissance there today and post up if the we can manage. If all goes well, it'll be an awesome spot for fotuus !
+1 to that !Originally posted by prajwalkashyap View PostThe more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to co-ordinate. People can co-ordinate with others among themselves to catch up and get the directions, but having more than 1 meeting place will introduce a time-lag as a chain reaction.
P.S : Prajwal.. You can be my wingman anytime

Do try and get Sunil sir and SKSy to come. Im gonna nag Akhil until he agrees to come.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman.

Hey dude,Originally posted by prashanth lobo View PostWill confirm tommoro or on friday... Not feelin well as of now... Will come for the ride only if i fully recover.. N btw, i ve a gladi ss... So will it be a prob if i come??... Because i figured most of youll will be ridin more powerful bikes...
Get well soon... Hope to see many guyz during this G2G... The only thing that matters is to be present at the venue @ the given time
, about the gladi, donna worry much, might be hitting 80 most of the while, more of a relaxed drive, therz TomSawyer who also has a gladi 
My suggestion about the venue:
1. Fly-over just after Sanjay Nagar signal (This point is well before the Hebbal fly-over & right infront of the Cramster showroom / HP petrol pump, but on the other side of the road. There's plenty of open-space on the left side of the road, to park the bikes and wait for all fellow bikers to arrive).
Approx wikimapia location : Wikimapia - Let's describe the whole world!
2. Just after the Hebbal fly-over. (There's one big prominent white-colored function hall on the left-side, Sree Gandha Palace).
