Glad to know you finally did made it to BWMC though I'm sure you must have missed all the gorgeous babes from C.O.P.S & other monsters as they left around 11.30.

So the second incident took place near Kamshet & you were at that site.. So i guess it must have been around 11.30 - 12.00 by then.. by that time i was on my way to Malavali station. Never imagined there would be such a severe incident so as to cause loss of a life. I'll abstain myself from indulging in this topic any further as i have little or no idea what was it all about. Nevertheless, R.I.P.

& ketan bhau i can understand what you are talking about spotting xbhp'ians all the way.. It was a familiar site with most of us. Xbhp'ians or other bikers from the ride were scattered throughout the arena between Panvel & BWMC. Alike you, even we found a lot many groups of small people taking a halt on various locations throughout the way. We almost stopped at a few places but we were waved to move ahead & we did so as there were others behind us who would've stopped & gathered too.

The situation was alike on the return journey to mumbai as well. I met a couple of riders coming back from Pavana when we were going to pavana, met a couple others near lonavala market, some of them on expressway & finally a big chunk of xbhp'ians stopped by near khopoli having sugarcane juice & finally they waved me to stop for the first time. Unfortunately due to a misunderstanding Percy had already reached Panvel so I had to catch up with him & hence I couldn't stop. So i waved the xbhp'ians on sugarcane stall goodbye, they waved back & that was last of them that i saw that day

I didn't reach BWMC that late. I reached there around 10.30am. In fact as soon I as parked my bike there I went ahead to meet OF sir, Shivanshu etc and they told me that even they reached there just few minutes ago. I did see all those gorgeous babes you talking bout

Ketan: we saw you at the Tapri at express way, me + varsha, and cos+shweta had stopped for tea there, then mayur and all showed up and we moved on...

Yup, Mandar Vichare told me that even he was there on expressway and he saw me. Should have stopped there. Could at least meet you and Spark. Have not yet seen Spark. And there was so much chaos at BWMC that I couldn't meet everyone properly. Then had to rush to Pune by 12.. So I left early.

On an another forum, some of the members are planning to have a set of Riding safety sessions.
There would be a entire syllabus of stuff which would be explained, discussed and even practised. This is NOT a free course. Would be seeing on what we could do for free or minimal price as well...

I think ashish will be paid for this

[satyenpoojary]

^OT

Actually Ashish would be the one heavily contributing on the free one. Paid one would be from Dr Arnob and others who have enough miles and the right techniques behind them

Doesn't feel right to charge for sessions on safety. It's not like it's advanced cornering techniques

[Horror]

Any rides this weekend?

Is that like suggesting that cornering is something more important and worth the money than riding safer (which anyway we all are masters of?)
