Hey guys,
We had a lotsa fun in there. We saw the Merc Convertible SLK zooming past us. It was really fun to ride the bike on the beach. We also saw a Victor do 105kmph. But the turnout was a lil depressing. i thought like some close 18-20 ll turn up, but only 10 made it. Hope to c lot more ppl in the nxt G2G. Hey Ajay, where r u man?Unfortunately, I made a big mistake and ended up in the gravel

Yesterday was amazing guys!! It was pouring heavyly when ajay and myself turned up at the meeting point. and we had alomst given up hopes of anyone else coming or infact if at all anyone came we may just end up siting in some hotel having chai. But not only did people turn up (in all 11 people + 8 bikes) we decide "to hell with the rain" and went on with it.............
due to the wet conditions we were driving sensibly at around 70kmph - more of a lesiure drive along the scenic ECR road.
Ohhh ya the lesson we learned yesterday, never beleive what happens in the movies.... well inspired by kareena driving a bike along the beach, kishore(sk8er) took his bike to the edge of the water..... end result.... check out the pic on page 2
The only dampner was the accident we encountered on the way.

Review posted by ajanjo:
What A G2G [8D]!!! It was awesome, absolutely Awesome !! It started with doubts on everybodies minds....Should we/ Shouldnt we(G2G postponed due to rain !).... But then like sharat mentioned..."hell with the Rain"...That was the xBhp spirit
!! We had some problems communicating in the beggining...like...hi, i am ajanjo and ur pulsar_flame....[
)] That felt a little silly
!! But all of us made an earnest attempt at remembering each others name, so that next time it is real names and not usernames.
When the rain reduced/stopped all of us left. A total of 8 bikes. Some of us had to fill in petrol. Then we were on our way
. While we were in the city 4 vechiles were split because of a signal.
the 1st accident[B)]:
...A fiero f2 guy(middle-aged guy) came a little close to sharat's bike and an auto, so he slammed his front brakes....Big mistake.....He skid, fell, helmet was rolling in the air, and landed 10 ft in front !! Vinod, satish and me were behind at some distance so we could stop...Thankfully, the guy got up(phew!). then we were on our way.
It started raining again, badly. So we stopped under a tree on the road-side. As the rains stopped. We took our bikes and were slowly moving ahead when we see the merc [
][
]....It didnot have the hardtop on...so it was like open and taking a curve on the worng lane @ around 120 km/h[
](i could be exagurating..but you get the point rite
). WOW !! We went ahead and came to place were there was this long narrow bridge, there was a traffic jam. We were like now, racing to the traffic jam...why...MERC !! Finally made it and sorrounded the merc with all our bikes, that's the snaps ! After satisfying our selves...we went ahead,slowly moving thru traffic. We came to find out the reason for the traffic jam.
2nd accident
: This was bad...really bad.Saw the back of a scorpio on the left hand side and a SMASHED(it was a useless piece of metal rolled up together) scotter (bajaj chetak i think) on the right hand side. Then i noticed a body lying on the road....the head was not where it was supposed to be....(S**t !!) We had to STOP after we saw that....we did not hav the stoamch to take that.
Hope his soul rests in peace
...!
After that Helmets on the head felt a lot better...the unlucky guy was not wearing a helmet
. All of u guys, please wear a helmet [B)]!
We left that behind, and went ahead with our trip...We maiantined a straight line (ie) one bike after the other ..That got heads turning !! The rest of the trip i guess is well depicted from the pics. Techno, i was wearing a sandal
. i'll take care the next time ! The spirit on the whole 70 km ride was Awesome !!
One another thing, prahalad's(cbr) victor sounded like an RD 350(i have no idea of how an rd 350cc sounds, but i guess i got the point across...It was good[^]), he had changed his air filter and was able to get a max speed of 105 km/h....Cbr could put up the details...After the trip we meet up again @ our meeting point and kapil came across. he couldnt make it because of family.
Last but not the least....This G2G was only because of.....xBhp ! Thanks a lot xBhp....!!
psst : guys, there are plans of another G2G on the 22nd...to pondy in a single day
Pics from my cam.....(not very clear)
@ the ECR Toll Plaza

2nd pit stop
