The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[xinfii]

I'm happy to report that my back hasn't yet complained for the exertion and I hope to join in for the next G2G too!!

@Sunnyside_up: Next time we meet, I will show you some proper postures I learnt, which will help beat longer riding stress. Considering your age and height, I think it will certainly make sense. And how do we all call you? Sunil? Sir? Sunil Sir? Ji? Uncle?

@All: Keep your expectations low with the pictures. I wasn't going way too much shooting anything interesting. Just shot some to remember the meet. Will try my best though!

Guys how about a dinner G2G this weekend?

Food??? I'm in.
Already missed 2 G2Gs, dont want to miss the third one too.

@ Chennai xbhpians - If every one is planning for weekend G2G dinner, lets not choose besant nagar. That our usual place. For a change can we try some place in ECR. A place thats not too far for any member to reach.

This is just suggestion. Just for a change.

Lol; Deva, its most probably Sri would've finished his job before me. I still have the 12V generator to be fixed & I haven't even been able to exchange with the one I've. So it will be more than 1 to 2 weeks. Then a new problem with fork has come up & I'm little skeptical to fix that by myself. So I don't know when I'm going to complete.

Having said all these, the motorcycle has already clocked 25 Kms now!!!Last evening as usual, when I was tanking up, few guys were murmering behind me & then came up to me & asked "yeavvalo Sir aachchu painting work" & I was laughing inside & said all of them were new parts & they were mouth shut for about 2-3 seconds before asking next questions.

I am will wait to see and hear the trade mark heart beat which i love the most. 'Yamaha RX 100 - The love affair that never ends'.

You know during yesterday G2G, i had frequent chance of hearing the heart beat rhythm of Ninja (Praveen's). I am fond of it too. When he accelerates from standstill, it nice to hear.

These 2 rhythms will attract any one near by more than any other bikes i came across.

Suggestion on Head lamp - Required.

@ Chennai xbhpians,

Please suggest,

1. I wish to use fuel filter in my Hunk - What filter needs to be used / where do i get? Any brand/model?

2. I need more head lamp output. For that may i try to use 55/60 Philips night vision or OSRAM night breaker or HID is a viable option? If HID, is it street legal? And which HID kit to buy? Does it affect the bike in any form?

3. For more visibility can we try fixing a good fog lamp? If so, what brand and how many wattage to buy? This will help to keep the stock bike as such.

RIDING HH Hunk with joy.

I'm tempted to say "uncle" but I believe that the title has already been taken ( though I think undeservingly by Amit - whom I am yet to meet) !! Lol!!

Just kidding buddy, please call me "Sunny" or "Sunil" like all my other friends do. I may be an old fart physically but I must say that my mind isn't willing to admit that yet!!

And any advice on proper riding posture is MOST welcome. Am happy to report that I woke up this morning without the slightest hint of a back-ache - so far, so good!!

[Sunnyside_up!]

Some help please?!??

Please upload the pics in picasa / imageshack or any other third party servers and give the link here.

Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

it is a good site to share any files for free. If possible zip and upload as a single file in this site.

At the cost of sounding like a technologically challenged old dodger - I must say that I'm having the same problem as Rajiv with posting the pics - the message I get refers to some 'security token' - like I know what THAT means!!

I then tried Rajesh's suggestion and opened an account at Mediafire but again after puttering around for 15 mins - no luck. ( Some message about invalid input!! )

Can I mail the pics to someone to upload? Will someone please send me their e-mail id so that I can mail it to them and they can post the pics?

Just got hold of net connection..It was a nice trip yesterday..got to meet a lot of new friends..Am already looking forward to the next g2g..
Sriram, I am in for Horsely..lets create a new thread for that..

Another nice writeup there Bikerfas..Sunny, rajvenky, if you have problems uploading pics as attachments, you can upload them to Picasa and share the link here..

[felix.ragav]

^+1. Yeah. Picasa Is much better and easy.

@deva: Please multiqote deva. Mod's consider continuous Multiple postings quite sensitive.

HID's are not street legal, but a 55w halogen for a low beam and 35W HID for highbeam, (when cops are not lookin) are quite legal.

Man... getting tired of ECR! Can we head somewhere else? But I'd come if we are heading to the dhaba!

[Aparajith]

@Deva: Thanks for the invite. I will try to make it for the next trip people. Am quite held up with a few personal stuff till September. My suggestion and the simplest one involving no electrical mods would be to remove the pilots/tail lump bulb etc and just replace the H/L with a 55W bulb so that ur coil is not overloaded!

@Raghav: Oh yeah? How about two HID's for both lo and hi beams then?

[SriramEfunds]

I'm going to collect details from APTDC sometime this week for the Horsley Hills accommodation.

@Raghav - Suggest a different place then.

@Aparajith - I will be going in for an option that does not affect my stock.
Any suggestion on using an additional fog lamp?
