Guys any rides happening anytime soon..????

[I.S.Avinash]

Hey Guys,

Let me introduce myself, Am Avinash from chennai.I was in xbhp for past one year did few long trips.And this is gonna be the first ride to God's own country.

Was very excited about that and I ride other two of my friends so planned to do Chennai-Pollachi, Pollachi-Valparai-Sholyar Dam-athirapally falls-Thekkady-Munnar-Kodaikanal-Chennai.

I was very excited to ride Athirapally-Munnar stretch but I have heard few rumours that most of the forest route has been closed is it true?

And also what about the climate over there? Munnar-Thekkady.

Plz gimmie some few Guides and tips so that it will be helpful for my upcoming ride.

Cheers

Waiting for your replies

...Just call to Matha Mill stores , Mamangalam. Ph: 0484 2335844...

Thank you. I found the store. But they didn't have Bosny. Only RJ London, Nippon Pylac 1000 and some other brand. Anyway I found what i was looking for, clear coat gloss, Pylac. I later learnt RJ and Bosny is from the same mfr.

...you still around bro? Now news at all... still paiting the bike?...

Yeah, but havn't ridden the bike in almost a year! It was my brother's and i returned it. Now painting car . BTW the nippon muffler black had problems. After a month or two, 2 small patches peeled off on the manifold, at the begining of the pipe, exposing red primer. Secondly once the engine has warmed, the paint becomes like it was painted a few minutes ago, and gets sticky. Sand and grit sticks to it, and it sets in the paint when it cools. I hand a long series of e-mails and phones with Nippon, but no solution came.

It was painful affair to get a place for such big a group for the long weekend and i don't think anybody would be interested in losing this as well.

Day2(Nov 3rd) : Will have breakfast and leave for Mullayanagiri. After spending some time we will be coming back to the homestay for lunch. Post lunch we will ride down to Ayyanakere/Viewpoint/Bababudangiri (will be decided later) for photo shoot and come back to the homestay for Bon-Fire.
Day3(Nov 4Th) : The groups will start to leave as early as possible depending on the distance that has to be traveled.

If anybody interested to join us apart from the three states, it would be a pleasure to meet and ride with you all. You can get in touch with any of us

Few pointers for the ride, well in advance: No excuses of over looking the post will be accepted.
Mandatory gear: proper full face helmet/jacket/gloves. Same for both rider and pillion.
Recommended gear: knee protectors/proper raingear.
*If you dont have the necessary gear ready, please go fetch it. There is lot of time left.
*Shorts/Three-forths/sandals/chappals are a strict No-No while riding.
*Anybody failing to implement the above said points can leave on their own from the starting point. Group riding will be taken up very seriously going further.
Please get your bike in good condition before the ride, so that neither you or others will be delayed. Unforeseen circumstances can be understood, but break down due to your negligence needs to be minimized. Please pay attention to the pre-ride briefing for further details

Few *recommended* stuff to be carried, Not only for this ride but for any long ride.
1. spare Key
2.Acc and clutch cables.
3.Fuses(in case you dont have any spare fuse slots provided on the bike, more so if you have made any changes in the electrical circuit like HIDs etc)
4. A Spare headlight bulb
5. First Aid kit with all the essentials( Anybody taking a regular course of medicine for a particular ailment like against some alergies/Asthma and the likes) please keep a note of it. The nearest medical help from the place of stay is a good 15-20Kms away.
6. Pack your luggage in polythene covers before you dump it into a backpack or saddlebag.
7.As far as possible avoid having a back pack on your shoulder.Tie it to the back seat with a bungee chord.
8.Puncture repair Kit and foot pump/electric pump to be carried by one/two people in a group where you are starting from.

P.S: These are not just for this ride, its adviceable to use it on all long rides.

The Pre-ride and actual ride details will be posted by the respective group leads.

The registartion will be available here soon......
Let make this ride a big success.

So I plan to call up the shop and ask them to keep aside a set of tyres
