a very sad news from my side, i will not be able to come tomorrow

[MACH50]

Onwheels and Myself went to do some last minute set ups for Xbhp's part in the stuntmania,today evening.
Both of us,had setup the stall for Xbhp and then put the set up in proper place.Xbhp's stall is located just beside the place where participants enter and register their names for Stunting.
It was nice to meet two Ghost Ryderz guys and had some chat with them........checked out their bikes.......totally meant for stunts.Huge sprocket,light weight........complete with stunt enhancers,wheelie stands..........they practised infront of us...........Onwheels was cheering like a ten year old child.......while myself pulled up a rolling burnout in the parking yard

All these are the manifestations of our excitement.

There is also some deafening over decibel sound of music and bands playing---preparing for their respective stint.

There is only one word for this...........simply rocking..

So all Xbhpians from Kolkata and West Bengal........join us tomorrow to promote safe riding and Biking passion in West Bengal.......JOIN IN the STUNTMANIA G2G.

Rockathon G2G

Yesterday,it was an awesome experience.........an experience which elevated us to the level of celebrities,made us an envy and as well as an example for most bikers from Kolkata.

Onwheels actually initiated the total Xbhp presence at rockathon......days before the program traversed through the cities........I joined in after the Shantiniketan ride,to be of some help in order to take my beloved community on a new level in my city,which actually lacks in biking scenario.Then the numerous contributions from all members.........active,dormant,new and old just rained in driven on Sunny Konkal's communication.It turned out to be a resurrection of one thing long lost and in a big way.

Over a hundred bikers turned up at our bare basic stall with the true intention of joining Xbhp.People just drooled over the Great Indian Roadtrip memorandum.........over and over again.It was a very busy day over there, every kind of biker came in and enquired.......over a half of the biking population present at the event turned up at the Xbhp stall.........some enquired,some filled in the forms,others to make clear and justify to us the way they ride and so on.Driven by excitement and cashing on experience we treated them all the True Biker way........by our pledges of Xbhp.
This was possible only because of the invaluable cooperation of our own members with cool heads......this update would be incomplete without their mention.
1.Bikemanic(Gibran)-awesome levels of energy and enthusiasm just like his own highly modded R15 .........even Riders from Hell were looking for the exit in his presence ........seriously this biker likes biking and preaches it,he was really of great help
2.Metalhead_Aj(Ajosro)-Hardcore biker with ample number of rides with a knack for photography........joined in with experience that was shared by many inquisitive bikers,new to the concept of Xbhp.....an added punch for our stall.
3.1eighty(Sayantan)-The security of our stall .......scared the hell out of people new to biking and with doubtful safety levels......with his scary questions and awesome tales of biking disaster. .....Sayantan your presence was really felt,dont kill me for this He also had to stay till the end as......well
3.RitoCBZ(Ritochet)-He volunteered for the stall and stayed on till the end..........distributing forms,creating awareness about Xbhp and doing the 'spread out in the field job' for Xbhp in this heat.....with a small break for his examination.........a real hard working Biker !!! He volunteered and so stayed till the end.
4.SunnyKonkal-He assisted without talking.......now thats needed for all the stalls.He volunteered and so stayed till the end.
5.Onwheels(Bappaditya)-The head hunter kept his cool while managing all at once,like Xbhpians entry,passes distribution,settling issues with management of the event and taking care of the stall.He volunteered and so stayed till the end.
6.Mach50(Suddhatma)-I will let others do the talking ...........but one thing I must say,whatever I did,I did it,for the unconditional love of Biking and my respect for Xbhp.I feel great to be a part of it.

Many of our new members joined in at different times of the day,at our stall......throughout,
I recognize and remember the name of a few.........others please also mention yourself if I dont
what I recall are: Dipanjan,NS2115,S.Gogoi,SVJHonda,Ajosro's friend (dont know his name and ID),Haxor,Abcek,Guitarfreak(Sayan) and 2 people more whose ID i dont know but are Xbhpians as acknowledged of other senior members.

There were stunts and GDs,the young biking population over here have no concerns for safety,there was stunting outside of the venue on public roads where Buses,taxis and Cars were passing by at very fast speeds.........it was all risky affair,we even wanted to avoid walking till all this was over !!!! At the GD there was suddenly a fight and our Xbhp member SVJHonda lost his nomination as the entire group was expelled after that,for no fault of his own.I hope foundation and corporate members of Xbhp from Delhi could have helped control the madness on the public road.

Apart from this, the heat turned us all into liquid cooled engines as we avoided any solid food to keep us going,we were on Lassis and Red Bulls and molten Icecreams

After the day was over .....during the Rock show, MTV host RanVijay......acknowledged the Xbhp personnels present at the event.....that is us for promoting the pledge of safe riding in India.......not for once but twice.He also quoted and advised all bikers to wear helmets just like we do !!!!!! We cheered and had our thumbs up in appreciation......ah,spot light at last without being on stage

and one more thing.....it seemed I was the only Biker over there not to be distracted by beauties present at the event,somehow bikes and stunts were having mine attention more than the beauties of the fairer sex........unlike all others,yeah I brag about that hahaha

Ghost Ryderz were all the game for stunts,I enjoyed their practice session the evening before,so I dint attended their show again and kept myself at my thing at the stalls.But from the cheers and shrieks of the crowd.......I can safely assume,it were the same stunts that made Onwheels jump and cheer like a 10 year old and made me whistle the previous day.

Enough of talks now onto the pics


This is SVJHonda.......one of the Xbhpians, participant to the Stuntmania,flashing his enrollment number

Well this hazy picture is of MTV hostess Riya,Sunny Konkal was so much smitten by her presence that he kept taking her pics with my cam and this is the best he took,his hands were vibrating more than his RTR while capturing her images........hmm its now or never.Well, I also did like her but .........ahem,we were there to promote safe riding
