Correct dude, thats exactly what my point was.. I mean certainly everyone would not wanna be a part of Rippers but most of the riders would wanna be. so in my opinion the Seniors like Spidy etc must have a final call coz they certainly are fastest of the lot & at the same time responsible enough for the safety of themselves as wel as other newbies.

simple as that.

^^+1 bro.. Sorry for asking such a lame question, I almost forgot how well most of you guys know each other & their respective riding skills so it would not be such an issue with Seniors.. My concern was primarily for New riders (like me). Alike you said, Newbies must not be allowed to be a part of rippers atleast for a couple of initial rides & this should be well clarified to all the newbies before actual ride day.

the points discussed looks good but when is the next ride so we could implement it.

**satyenpoojary** · 02-16-2010, 06:12 PM

Some of us are riding on 21st to lonavala for the first meet with another website... (first official motomeet)
Meeting point is 8:AM - Panvel McD... you can surely join in... a lot of groups would be joining!

**spiderweb** · 02-16-2010, 08:20 PM

^^^And we are implementing all these here this coming SUNDAY.

@Sunny, OldFox sir & Everyone: Am glad that this is very much welcomed & appreciated. I was actually expecting a lot of criticizing & hulla-bulla over it

Well this is decided n will be followed practically too.

I too request all the xbhpians + Riders from other groups too, to take a meet & come up with more effective stuff & same time start following it.

Will write the rest of the stuff tomorrow, lots of pending work

A good, safe and conscientious rider needs to be respected for what he is...not depending on how fast he can get from point A to point B.

Exactly...The xBHP guys who rip their bikes during such meet are experienced with what they do, so to strive to get into with the Ripping riders should not be the goal, rather enjoying the ride should be the goal, personally i feel, some would love to cruise all day long at 90kmph rather than ripping their bikes and some would think other way round.....

So be safe, enjoy the ride when getting from point A to point B

Exactly, let the experts do the judgement.....Also senior member should observe that the speed limits and rules are followed.

1) There is NO expereience required to rip the bike. However "ripping responsibily" as our own Chetan Pulsar used to term requires a) "lot of skills", b) the "knowledge of the roads", and ofcourse c) the "knowledge of the abilities of the bike", and d) the knowledge of the judgement\abilities of the riders behind\ahead of you. By Default all n00bs dont have ALL the abilities listed here, so if they are riding with xBHP, they are riding in the slower group initialy

2) Senior member will guide you, and warn you... and then finally will ensure you get banned without ANY warnings... so

3) DOobaaara Mat poochna!

lol good one! Yes even cars are invited.... infact very soon we will have a car backup in every xBHP ride as well... let me not scare anyone about it here, allow Spidy to do that!

^1 to the point of Chetan

P:S
Thank you all for your inputs on my doubt but With all due respect to you seniors (Spidy, Satyen, Ketan, rachit, MG, Dinesh, DK) I would just request you to elaborate the term 'INITIALLY' (By Default all n00bs dont have ALL the abilities listed here, so if they are riding with xBHP, they are riding in the slower group initialy
I mean what if one senior thinks that a newbie is good to ride with the experienced rippers after a couple of rides & the other senior thinks the other way round.
Further, if a newbie rider is strictly asked to ride in group formation at sedate speeds for 1st couple of rides (I assume most newbies will follow the rules) so how can senior riders get idea if the newbie is capable to ride at much higher speeds & ripp his bike?
Its not that I'm a ripper or would like to join the rippers straight away(like Dinesh said, I'm definitely from those who wud happily cruise @ 90 km all day)
The question is just out of curiosity & is'nt meant to counter-question the replies of seniors so pardon me if I'm seeking answers for unreasonable questions.

1) Seniors here dont think..there is a vital part of human body that they lag

2) After a couple of rides you will automatically "Know the roads" and the "Bikes Abilties"
3) Riding in a formation is more difficult than ripping alone!
4) Rest assured the person tailing you will be watching you and showering you with praises\abuses when we stop

5) I just love listing my points in numbers

Hey mitesh,first of all am not a senior biker at all(except d post count)

And it's really good that you are asking and clearing your doubts becoz indirectly they are helping a lot of newbies as newer points are put forward with every question or doubt. My feeling is that all the points discussed above look very easy on papers but are gonna be very tough to follow strictly. I guess 1 or 2 rides after this discussion will give us a better idea and some more doubts.
Keeping my fingers crossed
