[undefineme3]

@gp: stomach burnin ah... ?? food was awesome... especially the aloo gobi... the chicken was not upto the mark though....

@rg: sure... eager to meet all 3 members..

@anant: forgot to ask you... how did the bike perform and where is the trip log!!!!!

[SriramEfunds]

It was nice to see many face behind fancy names...

The sudden plan to drive down till ECR View point was amazing... Bibhu with his bike humour experience was amazing. Especially, bibhu was asked by a citizen looking at a RD350- 'is this 4 stroke bike and reasoning it out having twin engine (2+2)' when we went splits! And some even asked the looking at RD350's engine and clarifying where the other (cylinder) is a spare one..

Boby(Gautham) brought us some Mars bars - Thanks buddy! You said would drive at 40, however, you went way ahead than others.....lol

Ace Hunter did a nice job of co-ordinating the short trip...duly waiting for all the members catch up.

Aargee - It was nice to meet you though had little conversation over the phone.

Ragav - You had a lucky charm from the sky trotters, dropped a missle on your new bike thus evading all evil eyes.. good for your bike..

Adarsh: were you trying to resist the temptation ripping the bike or did I see you really driving slow with your fazer?

Ganesh^2 - it was nice to you both of you and your bikes...

Vinod- you were wheeling Hunk? Woah! - Would only ask you to take more careful

@All - It was nice experience today and made some friends too.

Adarsh and Ragav - Thanks for the pics...

Ragav - could you please send all the pics to me? Either dropping the pen drive or send zip file via email. Thanks.

Will try to make a another meet with more members.

Album updated..

Today's G2g was too much fun. Hope we have a bigger crowd next time. Touring is on the charts guys, so please do let us know. I forgot the names of the 2 from chennai who had succesfully completed saddle sore. Could be helpful if someone could refresh my memory.

@bobby: Thanks for the ciggy's and the chocolate man. wished you could have stayed for brunch. But i understand that the trip to chennai had caused some fatigue man. It was nice meeting you mate.

@ Bibhu: You are my lawyer from today :P

@ ace: Super ride machi. Thanks for slowing down in front of me during sharp turns and stopping often to look out for us. Really appreiciate it.

@ argee: Guess we didnt have much time to talk mate. will cath up with you in the coming G2g.

@ sriram: Next time I'm going to carry a pellet gun hunting for them High altitude Bombers.

@ Adarsh: You seemed damn silent today but saw you were all smiles whenever you shifted from neutral to first.

@ vinod: Patience Dude... Remember.

@ Ganesh (undefine me): Vaama Minnal

@ Ganesh (Gp_Freak): Next track day... Remember me da...

@ all : Just came back home. Spent the whole day on my new found love. Clocked 150 kays when i last parked her in the garage.

Idiling issues are gone. Next in line is the Headlight change.

[GP_freak]

sure....

we had naans,,,butter chicken,,,dum aaloo,,,1 paneer item(paneer butter masala i guess),,,aaloo-gobi(dry)...

Such poor eaters you guys are. Such a small number of items you guys have ordered

I am IN (but for me veg)
Next week ?

I am not sure. I might be going in for the MRF race(to watch) if it is happening.

@gp: stomach burnin ah... ?? food was awesome... especially the aloo gobi... the chicken was not upto the mark though....

Itukellam stomach burning ah. He He. If chicken is not good, what else am gonnna eat ?

[Saravanakumar]

if you guys plan for a trackday pm me!!!plzzz!!

[Saravanakumar]

hey GP_FREAK where did you got the ticket for that race dude??

[GP_freak]

^ You can get the tickets in the Entry of the MMSC track itself(i think). The tickets cost just 100. Also this time, the race is for 20 laps and not just 5 laps as it used to be.

@ All- I had no regrets with this G2G. It was a very good session at the view point. I felt at home with you guys. It was the complete opposite of the First track day i had. And wow, there are a lot Annas to me in the ride too. He He.

@ adarsh1398 - Man, i felt you were kind of left out of the group, if language is a problem, we dont mind having all the conversations in English. Next time when we meet, i want you to speak more.

@ Felix - I was very Dumb and forgot to appreicaite your new ride man. Its a sweet baby you have got there and take good care of her. I even forgot to check your ride. Run in you bike. Finish atleast some 2k km in your bike and Work out some protective. In the mean time, you can always ride along with us to track during our next track day and try shooting some pics.

[felix.ragav]

@ GP: Affirmative. Dunno if i will ride the track but will be (atleast try being) the photographer for the chennai Xbhp track team. If everyone is game we can meet up next sunday for a visit to the track. Its a fun place to be...

Yeah.. you can take her for a spin the next time we meet. thanks mate... Protective gears are coming soon. I'll be getting gloves by this weekend. how do you rate the R15 gloves?

You have an DSLR ? I heard some one telling D40 .
We sure can plan for a G2G at track if the races are happening the coming sunday.

I dont take a new ride for a spin. There are a lot of sentiments attached to a new ride.

R15 Gloves ? I have a pair in my home. Its one of the pathetic set of gloves you can get for 1950 bucks. Camster and DSG gloves are far value for money than this stupid R15 gloves.. Check adarsh1398's gloves. I thinks its a cramster and costs 2.4 k.

@ adarsh1398 - Correct me if am wrong

[wonderboy_tm]

Hey people...

This was a great g2g... I wish i was on two wheels...However at the current scenario that is highly unlikely to happen for a long time from now... anyways...

@Ace : Good job organising the short ride....

@SaravanaKumar : When do you propose to have the track day ???

@all: Great pictures [people... Keep 'em coming....

[felix.ragav]

@ ganesh: can you bring em sometime da? Oru look vittu pakkaren. My initial thoughts were on the leather ones from Pioneer, but qualitywise it sucked big time. I "own" a D40 from Nikon. I have access to a 450D and a 500D witht eh 450 having a hell of a beautiful wide lens. I'll see if they are free this sunday.

Well it's not exactly a trackday but a ride to the track on sunday. Ganesh keep me posted and if everything is well by sat morning , we'll see the number of ppl willing to ride to the track. enthu's like me will tag along with you.

@wonderboy: Hope you are feeling better now man. Yes. Ace was being courteous today and it was actually a great way to spend an otherwise lazy morning. Should do this more often.
