IMP Notiec: This thread will be closed later tonight.

I am releasing a quick checklist for those who are too lazy to make one.

2. Thermal inner
3. General medicines
4. Octane boosters
5. Balaclava
6. Shaving kit + mouthwash + comb + shampoo + Soap
7. Moisturizer
8. SPF 30
9. Face wash
10. Mobile phone and charger
11. Handkerchiefs
12. Change for one day
13. Swimsuit/Towel
14. Spare key
15. Trouser/payjama
16. Puncture repair kit
16. Air pump
18. Spare bungee cords.
19. Tube for Petrol xfer
20. Eye drops
21. Cash for petrol


This is a general list that I have been using for years. Some of the items may not be valid for certain trips.

Ken, Please take me along..am bored of this Life in Plains...take me to the hills..... ready to go as a pillion even!!

@ the selected fews: Good that the ride is confirmed now! Ride safe, enjoy your trip. Feel free to ask anything from Aryan or Ken...a word or two about riding and Photography. Come back safe and come back soon, come back experienced...Mujhey bhi ley chalo!!!

@all: The list which Ken da has mentioned might seem a little too much for this particular ride, but there are some items which would prove to be invaluable. Please do take into consideration the cold weather and do not forget to wear good, warm inners followed by good, warm (if possible) t-shirts/ sweatshirts and then top it out with riding jackets with inner liner/ or good cold weather jacket.

Please make sure that your body is covered properly to bear the cold weather that we would be facing on the highway as well as on the hills. It is no fun feeling the cold all through the ride. It kills the idea of a nice, long ride.

Also, make sure your vehicles are up and running beautifully. Chains oiled, engine oil flushed and changed, electricals working properly, etc. Carry medicines like Dispirin, diamox, etc. with you; it always comes in handy. Also, carry a general first-aid kit too. And do not forget a puncture-repair kit (for those of you who have tubeless tyres) and a spare tube(s) (for the guys who have tube-type tyres).

Rest all, we can decide later this week when we actually get to meet and discuss about this ride. Please keep all the information regarding this ride to yourself; do not share it with any third person outside the 'Induction Ride' riders' group. It's a humble request. Instead of posting it here, please give me a call as and when you want. You all have my number.

Thanks,
-Aryan

Riders.... all the best!! Its not always you get to ride with Aryan Da & Ken Sir. If Ken Da rides along on his R1 then another reason to jump.
I've always wanted to ride with pros & get some photography tips. But mera number bhi aayega.... Enjoy all & bring back good instances to chat and nice pics for us.

BTW 370 kms makes it pretty explicit where the group is going. I'll check later if I guessed it right.

Biker's Axiom: A Cold Biker is not a happy biker!

That said. I am closing this thread permanently!

This is to let everybody know that the induction ride with the selected newbies went brilliant! It was a grand success. Everything went perfectly. Following riders and rides were present for the ride, and the destination was Shimla. I am sure there were people who doubted whether something like this CAN actually take place or not, whether a couple of moderators can take a bunch of newbies to the hills and come back safely at that. So, the answer surely is, Yes! We actually did it!

Riders & Ride:

1. PetrO (Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i)
2. Zayn (Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTS-i)
3. Sikhbiker (Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i)
4. thechamp (Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i)
5. Psycho Mc.Crazy (Bajaj Pulsar 180 Classic)
6. Ken Cool (Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi)
7. Aryan (Yamaha YZF-R1)

Total Distance covered: 800kms. approximately.

I know it looks like a Bajaj group more than anything else, but it just so happened to be this way.

The new thread for the detailed ride report and everything else will be up in a week's time or so.

Thanks,
-Aryan
