Gibran you havent included Bibek Jyotide...........he is also riding with us,though he was not present with us today,but he would be riding too.The formation should be kept flexible at all times,as per accommodation,for if any other members join in and individual safety goes too.

[bikemanic]

have updated the list yes it is flexible if any one else joins then will be before "Bibek Jyotide" so the formation stays. as for me n doc we will hold the pack from behind.

dude this is a small ride not even a trip just 500kms in 2days ride with us na, besides then i'll have a chance to steal ur bike

[sheelpriye]

I am comfy doing ~700kms* a day if I get a chance to meet Calcutta bhpians again on NH-34,
got the drift? Yup, many things have changed since we last met on a ride(more than 5 years, Gosh!)

*My home would be ~1050kms round trip from Cal and on NH-34, it would be just too much of a bother.

[bikemanic]

hmm.. ya i get the drift, i can do that i'm cool with it but there is nothing good to see there besides the dam you know what i mean. by the way why dont you join us for the 24th come down. bother come on man thats not what xBhpians say remember we did it in a day that too on enticers & pillions.

Tied up on 24th, but I am not very cool riding anything more than 700-800(max kms) on the stupid NH-34.

The traffic has gotten WORSE and the road is the same.

Lets, see may be next time. Or may be a trip to Shanti-Niketan etc(boring with WB guys?).

May be we can plan something next time, the ride would had been worthwhile and I would have taken the plunge had the road been better in terms of infrastructure and traffic.

giving OTs a rest.........

We have another confirmed member back on the Kol-BBsr G2G,its Mandeep and his P220,he is joining us on Saturday...........hence the saying goes,Gibran our formation should be flexible

Sheelpriye.........what bike do you ride-thats so tour undedicated?? I really want to meet you,we have a north bengal+sikkim ride in our minds this year only,lets see if we can ride together to the mountains. Actually we want to complete Bengal before moving onto the rest of India......thats our thought.Its good to know that you find a 700kms in a day boring and that too on a tour undedicated bike !!!!

Wish I could have joined with u guys... but I will be busy for my Ladakh tour, any way all best.
