The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[SriramEfunds]

Today had a wonderful day because it was a ride to ECR and got a best FE of all time I guess. Riding at 60-70kmph and also saved some damages from speed traps on the return.

Sunny and myself thought of having a meet. Anybody game for evening meet?

[Brat]

So it turns out, Breakfast at ECR is getting all the more expensive on Sundays...

[harishkumarko]

Had nice time with sriram, yuvraj and bharat. Thank you bros.

@SriramEfunds
Turns out, my ride saved some money for you

@Brat
What happened after we left?

[Divya Sharan]

Sincere thanks to xbhp and specially Chennai members for the guidance, without whom I wouldn't have managed this 850+ km trip.

Too tired for putting up the T'log, but it'll be up in a couple of days.
For the time being, I'm sharing the Picasa Album for my Yercaud trip.

Chennai-Yercaud

Cheers!

I guess,he was using neck strap and riding jacket to hold the camera.. with self-weight it (HX100v) stays there rigidly...

Thanks a lot... Even I was surprised later that it came out without much shakiness. The original one is much clear, but since it was ~800 MB, I compressed it to 56 MB to upload on Youtube...

Absolutely right Magesh... I just had to shorten the neck strap by tying its top portion as it was coming till my tummy.
Shortening it brought it to the optimum height!

Munnar, Vagamon are part of the Idukku district.

You can do this one Chennai-Pollachi - Valparai -(forest road which has got fresh tarmac recently ) Athirapally falls - Munnar - vagamon - Kottayam - Alapuzzha - and back to Chennai .

You cannot fit in Coorg, Wayanad in this unless you want to start with Coorg and reach Munnar but for that 7 days will not be enough. And it will be a rainy ride in July

Bloody you want to finish entire KL in one single ride!!! That's not possible in 7 days machi

It took me 3 different rides to touch most parts of KL and still a lot is left to be explored!

Please take salt along with you as leeches are famous in KL during the monsoon. We experienced it in the Valpari - Athirapally stretch.

And regarding riding in rain I am sure you will have the experience doing so. Get a proper rain gear so you can remain comfortable while riding in the rains

Yes, Nishant. Very much predictable. If not, he'll need to prove my prediction wrong! It is like me having high hopes!

I have 1 question though - How can Avinash be so very busy and have so much busy schedule when we all are riding in big group and on the other hand gets all the leaves and have no exams when none of us are riding ?

And coming back to your hopes, it is indeed sky high !!! There should be heavenly miracle to prove you wrong

[Brat]

^^^ I guess this is reason enough... add to that a brand new Swift!
