The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[Makky]

it must be the Julian MotorClub. the guyz who had a stall next to ours in Rockathon. The jeep wasn't a imported one - its combination of 2 mahindra classic jeep which was made into a one pick-up truck by them. read it an article in Hindu.

Okay! Thanks for the info mate! So, the jeep isn't 'Jeep' at all!!

@SriramEFunds : As planned, make up the decision for the Horsley Hills ride. Lets not waste time.

The HORSLEY HILLS ride is on 2010, AUGUST 14 & 15.

Thanks! I was thinking it to be on 17-18 even though its not a weekend!

It was a nice G2G ppl.. Sorry about the delay in posting the pics,.. i don't usually carry home my laptop on weekends, neither do I have internet there. Right now I'm at office and will be uploading the pics sometime in the evening or night.

200pix?! wow !! try your best bro.. thanks for your effort ! everyone seemed click happy this time ! lol

I have spotted those Quad bikes on ECR itself a couple of times. It was kinda funny watching a dude ride them wearing a lungi + banyan! Any idea how much they charge? Part of TTDC? I was of the impression that they belonged to Taj resorts

i have the same question.. i always wanted to try it..

hey guys,

awesome trip and a long day for me. Just now came back home and boy I'm beginning to hate the rains. I fell once today but both me and my bike escaped without a scratch all thanks to the effing road scraping that's been off lately. was Riding in absolute mayhem and rain when i had to take a turn. The road was submerged and i cut across to the corner at 10Kays and suddenly, I lose traction and my bike hits the tarmac. I managed to give up my bike and stood there I'm unhurt and the bike is just fine. Followed ananth's rain water harvesting technique and my bike looks jus perfect

Guys there are a few things which can be considered common sense/ group riding rules. Just would like to highlight them for the benefit of the uninitiated:

• Always tank up before a ride. If you want to tank up on the return ride It's understandable, but not when we are all prepared to ride out. If it's way to early in the morning it is safe to tank up earlier. If it's not available, Intimate other riders that you need a fuel stop.
• Stay In touch with at least one member in the group.
• If you are making it to the G2G pass the word to an other member who is sure to attend. It's not really nice to just pop up somewhere and expect us to find you.
• Stick to the group. If you are traveling from another part of the city, find a gang who are planning to take the same route out. Don't start haphazardly, stop us and rip ahead of us.
• If you plan to start late, make sure you know the route/destination and constantly update one of the group riders about your whereabouts.

No point in crying over spilt milk guys. Make sure you keep these in mind. Other points are welcome.

@ all :awesome offroading G2G guys. Hats off to Ananth and Steve for giving us noob's some basic tips, loved the way things went today. Hide and (don't) seek especially.

nice rules and regulations raghav ! lol thank god nothing happened to you or your ride.. take care !

@Tarun.. What does your riding gear consist of now? And what top-whack of C500 did you manage to hit till now?

I managed 125-130 on his. He has to top that. Come on now, Tarun. We're all having heavy expectations. :P

Insi, your speed has bean beaten dude
While returning from Yercaud, for around 5 seconds though I managed 140 just to see the top-whack..never again did i cross 125..never again wanted to..lots of vibes..in fact, got used to it..

Makky, where have u been bro..have u got so bored of ECR that you have started doing Pondy-Chennai in bus now..and the riding gear - got myself Cramster gloves and a DSG jacket - which is btw too tight and am planning to either return or sell it..the knee gaurds which u would have seen in photos are not mine..its bikerfas's..

Boy, why don't you take it to the track? Couple of knee-downs??!!
lol..
^^ Tarun will go nuts after reading this!!

.. Well, he can take it as a Safety Bike

Guess I missed out on the fun ... Just curious. Did you guys maintain the stagger formation on ECR as well? Considering its such a narrow road. Or was it a more organic formation?

Formation is tough in ECR due to the absence of land dividers and presence of those insanse cagers..so, we just tried to ride in single line as best as we could..

No fair. That doesn't count. I had your bike just once, and that's all I could do. You've had it for so long! More time, and I would beat that top whack.

@ ram: I love the way the bike keeps moving in that part where this dude tries a reverse facing christ just too good. why post this? a tribute to my crash eh?

the guy at 3:44 is a xbhpian, look at the fairing closely . LOL

[cbz xtreme]

@Raghav: You have had even worst crashes/accidents (as a pillion) than the one on SUnday.

Hope nothing happened to your broken hand.

140kms/hr is cool man(At least on the speedo!).
Actually, there was an entrance exam on Sunday. So, I made it by bus.
I would suggest you to look for a leather jacket. It suits the tough character of the Bull. Textile jackets on Bull look very boyish.
C500 as a Safety bike?? lol...!! The Bull would be leading the Twisters and the Stunners(Make One Race) and the 4-stroke sub 130ccs!! lol!!
