Sat infuriated with a kings and the solution emerged from the smokes. The plan is now to ride to bombay with the fact of course being hidden from office and the travel allowance ofciurse will be provided. Then after finishing the work in bombay iam plannin to send friday in puney and ride to Gokarna for the weekend. Plans to reach back bangalore on monday.

Are karizmas allowed to perform on the track? and if so, what are the terms & conditions/fees?

Fees I'm not sure. But rest conditions:
1. Helmet + riding gear (jacket + pants/knee guards) + gloves - all of these must be from a reputed brand.
2. Properly functioning bike. (well serviced) - new/proper spark plugs + Air filter + engine oil + clutch plates etc.
3. Proper tires.

[QUOTE=Praful;983665]Nope its just a go and see event.

Its more fun to see national events IMO.

Aawwww. Too bad. I thought this session would be pretty cool. Next time for the national events then. Heard Buddha international is having a yamaha r15 event yzf v 2.0 racing event. Nothing like that in coimbatore or chennai??

My bike got confiscated by police yesterday for being a TN bike. To top it off the f***** were drunk! as*****s dropped the bike and bent the crash guard, gear lever, footpeg, broke side stand and scratched the paint. Had to "pay" 400 rupees to get it out, they said I should submit NOC for the bike to be released and fine is Rs.3500 if I dont have it.

So I guess I'm in for the meet but not for the ride, unless I get my bike serviced before the ride which I currently do not have the time for.

re: The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

^^ hey bro, WTF!! From where did they confiscate? - they just cannot come random & do it. My roomie's bike was TN (chennai) Never-ever had any problem & trust me, his job was roaming around all day (Sales).

Anyways, IIRC NOC is an one-time investment nowadays, I guess, not sure though.

Take care, man. Let us know the details, next time we meet.

Once they release the bike back to you, ur not liable for any penalties but its expected of you to het ur bike re-registered in karnataka. If you expect more run ins with those same people then, though tedious its best to get it re-registered.

Else there is a simpler solution. Every vehicle from outside the state is expected to register with karnataka rto if it is a long term stay i.e. one month and above. A ploy to avoid this is by showing a receipt tht says u moved into the state under a month ago. What am about to suggest next is a grey area of law. U go out just till TN border fuel up over there and collect a receipt for the same. And when you are stopped u can present tht same receipt.

Yez, yes yes.

Good to see you on board. Keep a check here about timings of both the events.

Any company is welcome at any stage. Any info on roads/spots enroute are especially welcome.

I am all excited about the big ride. First time travelling for 500 km + one way....

Wish I could have joined you but I have some other plans in pocket for 7-8-9 sept weekend.
Regarding the route plan.
Do start early morning, very early if you have plans to reach Mumbai in one day without any night halt. So a start at 3:30am will be fine for you(PS: better have proper rest anad sleep and please dont booze/get high a night before the ride).
Reminding you its not just 500+ but rather 1000+ ride from one side.
Follow this route: Bangalore-Neelamangala-Tumkur-Hiriyur-Chitradurga-Davangere-Hubli(not hubli but deviation from Gabbur)-Dharwad Outer-Kittur-Belgaum outer-Nipani-Kolhapur By pass-Karad-Satara By Pass-Pune interior(take old Pune Mumbai Highway as the new highway is not allowed for 2 wheelers)-Lonavala-Khopoli Deviation-Chowk-Panvel or Panvel Railway Station-Mumbai

Just keep a note you have to enter Pune(bug your head in traffic) and take old Pune Mumbai Highway and just avoid Mumbai Pune Expressway as it is not allowed for 2 wheelers.

If you start at 3:30 then you can easily make upto Sira and have breakfast there. But dont expect many options there. Better carry on biscuits and plenty of water(if possible electrol powder and glucose also).

After Tumkur you will have Chitradurga only as the place for good food options. But the Road is enclosed with concrete walls from sides, so you have to take deviation to service roads at start of the town to hotels. Proper no of petrol bunks in between this route.

Davangere is again where you can get good food. Roads are awesome(Chitradurga to Davangere) 3 lane road and proper no of petrol bunks here too.
After Davangere upto Hubli outer(Gabbur), roads are again black tarmac 3 laned, but not very good food options with lesser number of petrol bunks so be cautious of ur fuel level.
In Between Davangere to Hubli(Gabbur), just follow the NH4 and don't enter any towns in between.
Upon Reaching Gabbur take a left towards Dharwad road and don't go to Hubli. From here narrow roads will start without proper dividers upto Dharwad road.
Keep following the NH4 upto Dharwad outer and dont enter Dharwad and keep proceeding on to NH4.
After Crossing Dharwad again broad 3 laned concrete-black tarmac roads will start upto Begaum and again try skipping Belgaum. Enough of food options on either side of the road with all proper fuel bunks too.
After skipping Belgaum city you can proceed to Kolhapur crossing Nipani, enroute very good food options and scenic beauties all around
Again try avoiding Kolhapur city and keep following NH4 Golden Quad. and Reach Satara. Here you can have good food options petrol bunks too.
Just be cautious as now you would be covering Ghat Road with heavy Truck Lorry Traffic.
While going from Satara to Pune Just be cautious while crossing the Tunnels as it very wide and trucks are really in high speed with lot of loads. even the road at some ection is not proper so be cautious of road repairing machines.
After reaching Pune(at pune outer only) ask for the closest route to Old Pune Mumbai Highway and follow that route.
This route is mind blowing and you will love the narrow roads with lot of natural beauties.
Dont get HIGH after seeing young couples on this route.
Lot of food and petrol options.
if you are stopping anywhere just park your bike at good distance from road as speeding cars even overtakes from the edges of the road.
after reaching Lonavala you will see the natures beauty all around(hope no bad rains).
After crossing lonavala you will be on Pune Mumbai Expressway for some time, so dont worry follow the expressway and cross Khandala Ghat section.
Just after crossing the Khandala Ghat Section, there will be a deviation with Board Mark specifying Mumbai via Khopoli and Mumbai Pune Expressway, take deviation and follow the Mumbai via Khopoli route.
after that you may get confused with small roads all around so ask people around and Reach Chowk, after that proceed to Panvel.
From Panvel ask for the Navi Mumbai route. Here just be cautious that you take the Navi Mumbai route and dont take up the Kalyan route.
After Reaching Navi Mumbai you can easily go ahead to Mumbai.

Since it will be a very long ride, I would also suggest you to take Small water breaks of 5-10 min after every 130-150kms, because if you will overstretch you wont be comfortable to even reach to Pune.

Stay calm and safe and dont offend the truck drivers.
Padh k gaali dene k mun kare to de dena but shayad it may be helpful to you.
