The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Now it is really scary, never mind, come what may, aargee kiran can still find a solution to mechanical bugs too

Hahaha...
On a serious note, I'm beginning to think if I've an old motorcycle & I should keep moving with modern times. See the amount of time it took to change the clutch cable...Just 5 minutes; Whoa!!! imagine to be RX, you need to remove the carbs & put it back...but 10-15 min & you only need RX cable for it & see while GS150 was able to run on any make of clutch wire. I think that's the reason we should keep moving with technology. In a way I think that cable break was a good learning for me.

Aargee: With your bike, were able to chase all of us, imagining how would that be if you had got the rebuilt bike.

Trust me, that was the top speed of RX, beyond that you guys would've beat me to dust. But to tell the truth, anything little beyond our speed would've carried little risk & did you know one thing for a fact? I'd hardly applied brakes & not a great concentration (as we drove that day on Tirupur trip) from Vellore to Sriperambadur except for pullovers. Guys who were coming behind me at one place would've experienced I would've done a sluggish pickup at one point & that was after a good braking from top speed to 50!!! Will explain over this point next week.

I was happy when my bike ripped beyond 95 and touched 100.

Oops!!! you're disclosing some undisclosable figures!!!

Guyz....Anybody going to start a new thread on this ???

Yeah, I was expecting that, but then, the pics has to be embedded & nothing to show off really!!!

Hey Man...Never push it beyond ur and ur bikes comfort level

Well, Amit, I would say this way...Never push your motorcycle beyond your control, but you can still push your motorcycle to its limit, provided you know how. We'll discuss over this next week.

Very Good Preparatory ride

It was an Awesome G2G, and ride was fantastic. i was a bit late in arriving to the location but was able to meet the group. Once the ride started from savitha Dental college, everything was right on. what ride man, the NH first then the SH which we took to Amithi, i think it was Vellore to Arni route... i was riding in the 2 position yesterday and it was awesome to see all the riders take a curve in the SH. Group riding was at the best.

good to see that all were able to mantain the speed and a special note to the RX for keeping up to the level without much strain.

ride back home with lot of learning, like how to manage riding a bike without clutch(if clutch cable gets cut and no help nearby), group riding, maintaing the speed and distance.

looking forward for the Yercaud trip.
thanks Tarun and Ragav for the photos.

Man!!!
I was wondering shall I pass the same signal to back

Raghav n Tarun : Nice clicks

Lolzzz.. Think the leg pulling ceremony has started before the BIG Day.

It was great fun. Group riding at its best. Hope we put up a even better performance during the D-Day ride.

I really loved the water riding part. I was skeptical about entering into water, but thanks to you guys, I made it comfortably.

The pics have come out fantastic. Loved the ones taken in the SH.

@all : My apologies, for going out of formation at certain points.

Ram - Visit cramster.in & follow the instructions here - . Call them up & confirm if they've the model & size you're looking for; add their account number for NEFT payment; make the payment & in remarks column mention your name, number, location, glove model number & size; call them up & say you've made the payment; trust me once they get the payment, you'll get a call.

If the bank credits them the payment this noon, tomorrow noon you'll get the gloves.

Why this sudden change..?

Is it because the Bangy group are in big number and making way back to yeacaud is difficult for them..?

yeah it may be.

[aargee]

So whatever we spoke at Amrithi went to dust

Imagine ~20 Bikes (Chennai) + ~60 Bike (Bangalore) thundering down a road that is something like this.....




It would be crazy madness, but loads of fun. But considering the large group size its safer/faster/easier/convenient to take a 4 lane median separated highway than the single SH which is not really in top shape.

Cannot be; otherwise how're they going to make it to Yercaud, especially on the 2 laned mountain? It could be due to the bad SH. Hope everyone reads this update!!!

Well, its a great convenience & I've been saying this since day 1. But do you think we got option to ride on mountains? We're still going to ride in the narrow two laned with hair pins right? Do you guys have a plan for it?
