The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

[Sunnyside_up!]

Good to know that you had been able to attend the IBW....Y2K in India ? I am surprised to know of some one owning it in India..? it is the fastest production bike in the world and is faster than a fighter Jet in Acceleration...were you able to hear it in running ?
Please do share your experience ,with Pictures ...of the IBW

Same bike as on the videos posted by Argee, except it had a new graphic vinyl wrap. The sound was incredible! The crowds would automatically run for cover as it started up and the exhaust would blow up a huge dust cloud. I will post some pics of the event shortly.

Just got back from the IBW at Goa. Absolutely worth it. Got to meet so many old friends from the last 20 years from all corners of the country ! Also filled with personalities from the biking world, sights and sounds of the various bikes and groups who rode in from all over the country. From 100cc RX100s to the jet engined Y2K. Amazing! Seeing 600 odd Harley's riding into the venue together was also another experience. Should definitely do it next year if you missed it this year.

Sorry to barge into the Chennai thread.....was an absolute pleasure to meet you Sunny! Do drop me a line if you plan to come down to Mumbai. I wish such events are held atleast once every quarter . Have been getting withdrawal symptoms since I returned from Goa

PSR Ji, AFAIK one is owned by Gautam singhania of Park Avenue Group, i don't know if that's the same bike that showed up or a different one altogether...

This one was brought down by carnet. I'm unsure if Gautam S. owns one though...

Why upsize to 18? AFAIK, 130/18 tires are scarce if any. Stay stock, don't fiddle with the ergos of the bike. It was designed so for a reason and making changes would only cause harm.
For better tires, you may go for 130/17 from FZ16.

Hello Guys - How about a meet at TMYR Beach (Tiruvanmiyur Beach) this Saturday evening?

[B7ACKTHORN]

Sorry for the killjoy but, I happen to see a TN 09 Kawasaki 2012 Ninja 650R in Ooty a few weeks back. I happen to see this guy in Charring Cross in Ooty. Stopped by him, apparently an oldie 45-50s guy was about get in his pillion seat, of course with hands "FULL" of VSOP, Pipers etc etc from TASMAC and that fellow happen to be drunk too, the pillion.

The rider however was a young chap, apparently works for Royal Enfield, forgot his name though. Asked him whether he's in xBhp, he said? What Bhp? I told him to join xBhp if you get back to Chennai and there is a huge crowd for you to plan your weekend rides etc.

I hope there is another 650 in the gang, hopefully.

Cheers!

No buddy, did you read my post correctly? The pillion was drunk, the rider was a young chap, with RE riding jacket and glove etc, he wasn't drunk. The pillion who came to sit, stopped by seeing me slowly dancing where he was standing, apparently a very very old guy say in his 60s something.

He was just staring boozy eyed as we both were speaking, and immediately jumped to the seat as we finished our convo. We shaked hands are parted away, but nope the rider was a young chap, donned with RE jacket etc, thought he might be in xBhp,so that's why I stopped by them in the first place, else I would just walked my way.

Cheers!

For your information Vj he is my schoolmate his name his Pragadeesh he works in Royal Enfield's R&D department ... That Ninja 650 you saw is used by Royal Enfield for some testing purpose

He is a very nice rider and he knows about Xbhp the very next day he came down to cbe, we met discussed a lot about Xbhp and he gave me a ride in that Ninja 650.. If he gets permission he might join us in this Coorg trip
