Both Sunil sir and Ajay sir have finally made their presence known !

But with four days to go, overhauling the plan is gonna be difficult. I hope we can pull this one off.

The credit for the plan is entirely John's. Once he comes online, discussions can begin to formulate a change/compromise.

Hey Maverick, no problem. I don't want to stir up any nuisance if you guys have planned so much. Like I said, I haven't been through all the posts and I'm ok with anything....

And sir, your presence coupled with Sunil sir's, is paramount. And Im speaking for xBhp: Bangalore when i say that this is absolutely no nuisance at all !

Im sure we can draw up a plan that fits in with the tradition of the I-Day ride as well as makes an allowance for some decent mileage as well.
Like I said earlier, once John comes online, Im sure things will be fast-tracked and we'll see the plan shaping up

Hi Maverick,

I did speak John Bhai & Sree before posting,
its Only a suggestion & will abide by what most members seem to deem fit.

Regards
Sunil

Ok Sundar. Appreciate your kind remarks. But I now see that you have organised a ride to Krishnagiri. Is that final? Which is fine. And yeah, I would like to come for this ride. I'll confirm in due course. Let John come online and confirm things.
Sunil: Long time man. It would be nice if you came along, regardless of city or outstation ride. I'm sure we could do enough to protect our flags.

Things are looking amiable for the ride already, regardless of destination

@Sunil sir: With you aboard, im sure this ride is gonna be the most memorable I-Day ride yet !

And since John is already in the know, we can expect a confirmation of the destination, meeting time & spot by today evening.

**hisunil** · 08-11-2009, 03:22 PM

Hey Called John & Spoke to him again,

Looks like many people want to ride out for a long ride.
so We will leave the current plan AS IS to Krishnagiri Dam.

I will join you guys at the starting point, but not sure If I can make it all the way.
(I am recovering form Viral

)

More Info From Web: Yelagiri Getaways - Excursion - Krishnagiri - Krishnagiri Dam - Krishnagiri Fort - Distance from Yelagiri - Distance from Bangalore - Yelagiri - Tamil Nadu - India - IndiaHotelReview.com

Distance from Bangalore: 97 Km

Krishnagiri Dam
For reaching Krishnagiri Dam, you have to take the route towards Dharmapuri from Krishnagiri. After traveling for some 5 km you will find an arch on your right. Take right turn. Drive on this road, Krishnagiri Dam is situated about 2 km from this arch. Another landmark to remember is a lake before the right turn. The official name of the dam is Krishnagiri reservoir project that was built in the 60’s.
The water at Krishnagiri Dam comes from the ThenPonnaiyar (South Pennar in Tamil) river. The best part about the Krishnagiri dam is that you can actually drive on the dam. Driving on the single lane stretch you will witness some breathtaking scenes. On one side is the reservoir and on the other side is the sluice canal. There is a hillock beside the dam which can also be trekked. Other attractions here include a well maintained park and an enclosure for Deers.
After visiting the Krishnagiri Dam one gets the idea that the huge potential of the place is not fully exploited and the facilities in terms of drinking water, canteen or toilet leaves much to be desired.

Cheers
Sunil

Friends,

I think its final now. So get ready for the memorable I-day ride in 2009. Wholeheartedly I would like to thank Sunil Sir and Ajay to make yourself in for the ride.

I will be updating the first post in a while with all required details.

I would like to request Sunil Sir to let us know how many flag we can expect from you ? All the flag will be returned to you after the ride ends.

Bikers, As we have to set the flag on our bike so everyone is requested to arrive on time at meeting place (Silk Board) at 5:30 AM Sharp. by 6 AM we will leave the meeting point towards K'giri.

You are most welcome to express yourself if anything is not suitable for you.

@john: Riding with flags made of cloth might be an issue (in windy conditions, it might slow us down).. & I guess, mounting the wooden pole (or whatever its called

) on the bike might also be an issue for some bikes..
I suggest we lay our hands on those small plastic flags, & stick it on our rides' visors using scotch tape or something.. Neither riding, nor mounting issues then..

What say?

LoL you should be kidding

Dude no hard feelings.. avoid plastic flags use khadi instead.. Using plastic flags is not recommended..

**RedApple** · 08-11-2009, 04:18 PM

Where can i procure a flag from? i havent seen any shops around my place selling them...

**MavericK46** · 08-11-2009, 06:02 PM

@Tibby: Mithun saar is right. There are absolutely no issues as such. Last year, two Comet's were riding around Bangalore as part of the I-Day ride with the very same wooden masted cloth flags.
And since group riding ethics dictate that we go as fast as the slowest bike in the lot, one can't expect to top 80 k's an hour. With those kinda speeds, im sure we can affix the flags firmly enough to avoid it taking off from the bike

However, if one is afraid of any aerodynamic ineffeciencies arising out of the flag fluttering, then sadly there is nothing that can be done

**tibby** · 08-11-2009, 06:31 PM

@mithun & maverick: i have no issues in using a khadi flag, if everyone is fine with it, & so long as mounting it isn't a problem..

The thought of sticking the flag to the fairing occured to me, & it appeared hassle-free, so i suggested it..

Will definitely go by what the group decides as a unit..

Looking forward to meeting you all..

**sudeepnbr** · 08-11-2009, 06:37 PM

John, wen are u editing the first post with all the members list in it???

Looks like you'll have to stretch down the pic to add more names...

can you do me one favour....oh forgot you are not coming

**Reuterian** · 08-11-2009, 07:33 PM

Maverick

keep one spare flag for me ...am nt joking

if am coming i will use the spare one. BTW i dont know how the 15 riders will clamp the flags...so the idea rolled out initially was keeping this issue (for 15 riders) in mind... anyways something can be done, we are expert in doing anything and everything

**hisunil** · 08-11-2009, 07:48 PM

All Flags for All bikes with flag post & tape to secure the same will be arranged by me, Just make sure you treat it with dignity it deservers & preserve or dispose it in an orderly fashion.

More info on the same lines:
rastrindia - dhw

John Just give me a rough number of guys confirmed, so I can get +10 units.

Cheers
Sunil
