can someone explain this application usage?

Google Latitude is an application for Mobile Phones which has an active GPRS connection (and more handy if you also have GPS)

With this you not only get access to Google Maps, but can add gmail friends (latitude users) and also get their present (last known) location via Latitude.

If you have a active GPRS connection and can download Latitude then you can add me on the same name..at gmail dot com

A big CONGRATS to Ketan_r15 on completing Saddle Sore 1600K (did 1700K in 22.50 hrs.)
Though he attempted 2000K, the road did the beating but he is only the second person in India to complete 1600K acc to my knowledge...

[TenHut]

wow....thats a mind blowing feat ketan R15...Mighty Congrats.
and here I am shit scared of going to chennai over a span of 2 days lol.

Btw can any of you Mumbai guys give me some pointers regarding good tyre shops in mumbai ?

I need 130/70 and 110/70 17 inches good slicks/dual purpose tyres for the Ninja. I aint able to source it anywhere in Pune and am beginning to be mighty worried about it now.

Thanks.

Just an Info, Me, DK n Ketan completed "Mumbai-Bangy-Chennai-Bangy-Mumbai", 2600 kms., in less than 48 hrs. (A failed Bun Burner attempt)

For tyres, You can contact AH Helmets (Andheri) if you want some specific Pirelli tyres, he can get you that from anywhere. Ketan will have the contact no.

[satyenpoojary]

Wow! Ketan! Brilliant stuff.... I think I will give this a shot this year....

TenHut... you have a SMS

[ketan_r15]

hey i think my activa was shivering with fear seeing a r15 behind,hey but i checked the tires,its perfect,nothing wrong were you seeing the stepney tyre!?

Ohh yes, may b I was seeing the spare tyre Sorry for the suggestion. Wont do that again

Ketan had left panvel at 10 yesterday for saddlesore 2000 k (not done till now in india) & till now he's on time.
Hope he will complete it on time today.

Thanx DK for an update...i m just going write a message to you regarding to this... Hope he will complete it.

vow.. So what is the requirement to complete this..
All the best to ketan..!!!

thats news to me..
my best wishes with Ketan !

gr8 man...hope he finishes on time....best of luck Ketan...

@DarkKnight: is he on G-Latitude? Thought of tracking himj... Hope he comes back safe, whether he completes it or not is another point, Still my best wishes with him...

Thanks a lot guys! Thank you very much for all the wishes! I guess it's these wishes that have helped me complete my run in time DK bhau, thank you for posting.

Yes, as DK mentioned my aim was saddle sore 2000K but to tell you the truth I had kept my ride flexible. I hadn't decided a particular ride. I was gonna plan the things according to time and physical condition of my bike of course myself. I had also done the planning for Bun Burner 2500. As DK said, I was running in time till some part of the journey, but then some incidents took place which made me lose some valuable time. Am planning to start a new thread for this and will write a log of the ride. I'll mention the incidents in that thread.

But am a happy fella now Saddle sore 1600K/Saddle sore 2000K or Bun burner 2500..it doesn't matter to me much. What's imp here is the mental and physical strength. It's not a child's play guys, it's tough. Damn tough. Plus, NOW I understand how my luck was testing me to it's limits. A lot to tell. Guess, I'll write it on my blog or the new thread.

The experience was mind blowing. I am shocked at the Japanese engineering. These Japanese bikes are all together from Different planet. Even after running for 24 hours non stop that too at speeds mostly MOSTLY 115km/hr upwards and taking the worst beating for 149+149= 298 kms between Hubli she felt butter smooth at the end of the day while riding from Pune to Mumbai. Hatts off! And am loving her even more now. As of my condition, each and every joint in my body is screaming My butt, my saddle is definitely sore! Palms, wrists are paining like hell. But my mind is fresh! It feels so nice from the inside when you complete a task, a challenge. Wow! 26 hours of non stop riding! Those last few kms from Panvel to my home in Dadar were the WORST WORST WORST ever in my life. hehe

Thank you once again for all your wishes and support! And now am keeping my fingers crossed for the IBA to certify my record! Whether they do it or not but I have done my part and I know that! So am a happy person now. If they certify it, it'll be money and efforts well done! An Icing on the cake you can say! It's the collection of receipts takes more time, and fortunately I have ALL the required proofs and receipts! Bhagwaan.. ab tu hi bacha le aur certify kara de.

Thanks Spider dada! Your company would have certainly helped more and the journey could have been more enjoyable! Also missed your well guided lead sirji! I was remembering each n every moment of our last run on those particular spots on road. What a run it was.! Even I had kept that target that safety will remain at the top of the list but to be frank, the way I've ridden the entire return leg and especially the last 270-300 kms, is simply unimaginable! At least to me. I was riding right on the margin of sanity! Pushing the bike like crazy, squeezing between two overtaking vehicles with centimeters to spare! Gosh! That was fun.. some serious fun! Thank god, nothing bad happened and am back home in one piece. My mom was awake for the whole 26 hours. Sorry mom

Special thanks to DK, Bibek and Mandar for seeing me off!

Thanx Mandar for the last minute exchange of gloves and Thank you Ajinkya for the Camera

Signing off for lunch! See you after some time. Will start the new thread very soon!

Ride safe! Take care everyone!

Regards,
Ketan_R15

Whoa! superb there man. Even I missed all the action, good you back home safely, now you'll be able to Live as you said, peacefully.

Am planning on Bun Burner 2600K, once i get my finances on roll. But that'll be very short planned, Solo & it have to be successful
OK ye zyada ho gaya lagta hai, baki khatam karne ke baad bolenge

A H Helmets owner, Mr. Hemant Cheda - 09892510506
But I doubt if he'll be of much help with tyres See for yourself Tenhut.

Yes Spidy, that was some ride Ahh.. some memories

[satyenpoojary]

Spidey! Why pune.... and why today I just came back last night
How about monday morning if I can bargain :P

[ketan_r15]

Thanks.
Ketan dude, can U shoot me the no ?

I've posted the number, but I don't think he's the ideal person for tyres. Consult with him and see if he can provide you with the tyres otherwise check with Sign Tyres at Sion, Mumbai. I personally haven't bought tyres from him yet but have heard his name quite a lot. Winzee, Razor and guys buy tyres from him, especially the michelin tyres n all. So he he should be of some help. Winzee and Razor may shed some light on this.
Good luck!

Yes man! Peacefully But that'll be only for sometime..before I set some other target/challenge for myself Still there's plenty to see and explore out there.

And wish you good luck for your record run n am sure you'll get through it

Take Care!

[Shadowboy]

@Ketan: Congratulation Bro...your sheer determination to earn the record has been conquered. Bravooo...

Take rest bro...same goes for ur babe--let her rest for a while--before you hit the road soon.
