    2) We don't have those nice Harleys either.

    But we'll try resembling them, what say?
    Thats what was exactly in my mind when I saw that image .

    Actually its not about resembling them, its about everyone in the group riding sensibly and safely.... and most of all using your common sense at all times.

    I am (tentatively) in for the ride.

            _____________________________________

            Few Pointers to Keep in Mind

            - We will be riding in a Single Staggered formation considering the nature of the roads, try to stick to it as much possible.
            - Remember to ride in Low Beam so that the person ahead of you is not blinded by your lights, atleast till its dark.
            - Maintain sufficient distance from the rider ahead to give you enough time/space to react to a panic breaking situation.
            - For overtaking the rider ahead of you, give enough indications (horn,pass light) before doing so.
            - You are responsible not only for your safety, but also the rider immediately surrounding you.
            - Carry all the necessary documents for your bike.
            - Carry a bottle of water with you.

            NOTE: @Pranay: There are police checkpoints either right after Jayadeva Flyover or at the 4th Main intersection, I'd suggest you lead your group through Swagath Garuda>4th Block Jayanagar>BSK BDA>DG Bunk route, incase of any confusion with the above mentioned route I can come to the base of Jayadeva flyover to take you through it.

                Today night I will b staying at BTM. So I think I will join with Pranay at Silkboard and bring them to DG petrol bnk.I know the route from Jayadeva flyover


                Fellow Bikers,

                Who all are joining for tomorrow ride please make sure you have enough petrol to start the ride. Before you come to the meeting point if u fill ur tank would b great. Also check ur tire pressure before you start.

                Remember, We are punctual. If anybody is not able to catch up on time at the meeting point he / she has to catch up the group on the way. Request to everyone to bring urself on time.

                    • Braumabull, G2G's depend upon the mood of Bangalore guys, if we have not met each other since very long time, you see such response. Otherwise small G2G's keep happening almost every month.
                      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Going to get the bike serviced as it has crossed 15k mark and the last free service will expire on monday, if bike is serviced am joining or else will have to leave the bike and come back empty handed.
                      --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      @ALL,

                      As John mentioned, please make sure to fill up your tanks, check tyre pressure, carry necessary tools and equipments, puncture kits (if any one has one), bike cover (as John mentioned what happened with Asif's bike on last ride), water, etc. Most important documents.

                      Please adhere to what Prafful,Prajjwal and John mentioned in their post...about riding etiquettes.

                        ~We will take tea break as soon as we reach at second toll gate.
                        ~From there we will continue to DD Hills.
                        ~We will climb the hill till the top. And do not get worried you don't have to push urself much to climb. Its short distance of climbing.
                        ~On DD hill there are two spots to visit. Climbing part we can keep for second spot.
                        ~After spending hours on hill we will ride back and on the way we will take our breakfast break at Kamath.

                              • @John: Is a bike cover of prime importance? I don't have one but am worried for my seat-cover
                                Any solutions?
