and to dirty it after you reach home

[harshit.d]

With my bike ready and in all good condition I so much want to join this ride but tentative as of now..

2 of my close friends are moving to Mumbai on Sat noon and we've got a send-off party planned starting tonight and don't know when it will be over. In case i'm sober with some sound sleep then i'm definitely in for it.

I'll be riding to Nandi Hill on Sunday really early morning to click some misty and sun rise shots. So lets see if i get to ride twice or have to be content with just one...

Haven't washed the bike after last week's downpour. All the detailing effort just went down the drain.

Aren't you gonna come for the ride tomorrow?

Some or the other excuse is always ready.

Here's how you can have your cake and eat it too... attend the party and stick to red bulls. That way you can have a blast dancing away to glory and ride with us while being as fresh as a flower.

Details below:
Destination : Mulbagal (approx 100km from Bangalore one-way)
Meeting point : Bajaj Pro-Biking Showroom - Indra Nagar
Arrival at meeting point: 5am
Departure : sharp 5:30am
Hope to see you all for the ride !!!
(Message me if you have any questions or need directions for the meeting point)

Can I join you guys? I have never been on a group ride before, so can someone direct me to some articles and points I should check beforehand? And I just have the basic gear currently - helmet, jacket, good boots and gloves. No elbow/shoulder guards, hope its okay. Please guide this rookie.

PS: I ride a ZMA and am rather a slow rider, hope there's no minimum speed requirement, since there are several SBKs joining the ride. 24th July is my birthday, so would like to be up & running the next day. :P

You're most welcome to join in! The gear that you have is sufficient. There is no speed limit or requirement, ride at whatever speed you're comfortable at. Most of the time we ride in a staggered formation, everyone going at a steady speed. The speed-demons(a.k.a. Me and N_Aditya :P) might wanna break away and do their thing tho.. Cheers, and welcome to the club!

Btw, my b'day is coming up a few days after yours, and i'm planning to be hale and hearty on that day too!
