The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[Rony]

I have a simple plan to not fall into this kind of problem.





Dont stop :P

It was a red light and we had to stop in order not to break the signal. The funny thing was they asked us to cross the red light (offense in a way) and come to the other side where they were standing (post the red light). But as manual signals overrule the automatic ones we did as they said. The motorist standing by were amazed to see us cross the red light on cop's call.

@ Rony :- He said he fined some superbikers too. Did he fine them for headlights ON or for riding in formation. Next time he says no riding in formation say OK, we will ride in zig zag manner like some local rossis.
Saala riding in a sane manner is also a crime now . Wasnt Sunil with you all.

Hahaha ... what an idea sirjee !!

BTW hormuz's bike's front brake had issues so we had to leave early and search for a mechanic. We were riding slowly in bracket of 50 to 70kmph throughout keeping hormuz in between us. Hence the look was that of formation. Regarding sunil, he was not with our group !

^^ LOL. This sucks, if the rule really exists. Clearly, it doesn't matter if the cars/trucks cannot see our vehicles. What matters more is whether they can see how well dressed we are and then choose to give way!

Next time, I am carry my Ninja sword to slice off anyone who doesn't give away after a simple pass light.

I want to know whether such a rule exist. I didnt find any such thing on mumbai traffic police website.

I hav been fined once a long time back (when i was young n was a rossi in the making) i had given my bike for washing n the washing guy had by mistake kept the headlight switch ON... even i didnt noticed it... until our mama stopped me... i inquired as to is there a rule like this... he courtesiouly pulled out a laminated sheet with all the offenses n fines for the same... i was appalled but didnt had any choice n paid him 100 bucks n sped off, since i was in a hurry... but he explained to me that in the daytime its an offense to keep our headlights ON (dunno why?? even he couldnt explain y?)

But yes its an offense dont know which section n all that.... but yes when today i m a much more mature rider i should have checked the laminated paper more closely then

[Horror]

Thanks to rony who stuck with me almost all the way because of my front brake problem. I was extremely surprised to see 14 guys climb up the slope of hell at midnight. Cheers to all these people. Had loads of fun through out the night. Ninad where are all the photos and videos you caught on your camera. Has many funny moments!

That's appalling !! ... Its a common practice to keep the bike's headlight ON during our rides ... hence we should clarify this matter with the traffic police and avoid unnecessary fine/arguments !

What a conincidence!!!! Just yesterday one of our fellow Xbhpian was fined during our ride for keeping the lights ON in daytime. So the rule stands true.

Courts DO NOT make law. They punish violators.
DRL has had its share of controversies in other countries, and if ARAI passes the vehicle like that (Read many international cars and bikes) after what they call 'Homogolation' then it is assumed that the vehicle is 'road legal' for India.

The only two clauses that I could find regarding these are
1. Incorrect use of headlight\taillight. This is typically using aftermarket stuff and something that could potentially distract the fellow drivers
2. Use of High beam when not required

There is NO clause of a formation, unless ofcourse you are participating in a rally or something.

Yes lets have a sit down with them and hash it out.

hehehe i know how irritated you were to ride to NH8, all the way from Panvel, when we went to Pelhar and it was raining too and we had to ride through, well anything else than normal road and you had your brand new CeeBeeArr and we had lot of traffic while coming back

But what about us NH8ers who would face the same for NH4? :P

arre bhai log, (incl. nads, kakkar ) please dont put your names by quoting someone else's post. remove the quote & then update your name. I dont see kakkar's name in the post of nads

edit:- P.S.:- i am not trying to become the official list man of xbhp mumbai here

Ayyo I'm not posting again. Looks like i'm against the odds anyway. Can't make it on Friday.

Happened to speak to an police officer.....and got to know....

If the riders ride in formation people mistake it for some rally.....and hence they discourage formation riding.
Regarding lights......there is no clause that states that you cannot ride with lights on....in kerela it is mandatory to ride with lights on.....read this few months back.....
