          Come early before the ride starts...introduce yourself to the group leader and do acquaint with other members. follow the instruction of the group leader. If you are joining in the midway get the cel no of the group leader one day before and do interact with him. Ride long and safe.

            Nothing to teach beacause everybody knows the basics. But some important instructions about the combined group riding by a few experienced riders. hope, Praveen will be the leading us from Changanserry onwards because he know the place very well. In between we can add other experienced riders who are also familier with the location. I am always in the permanent sweeper post of kerala xBhp team as usual

              anyways, the people who recommends them should know whether they are show offs or not. so dont tell the people who are show offs and let the responsible riders join. i meant, dont just judge people who are not registered in xbhp that they are show offs when they shows an interest in joining a group ride. we might actually learn a thing or two from them. who knows. xbhp is there to promote safe riding, so promote it instead of keeping it within a confined group. there are rules and regulation, tell them to follow it or dont bother joining. i also know that there where a few incidents(crashes etc) involving our group members. we together took responsibility for that, just like that, when riding with a group we must take responsibility for what happens regardless of his/her seniority level. this ride is an experience, let the people who deserve get a little taste of it.

              and its just my opinion.

              most being newbies may not have Ridden in groups(me being one). this being a headcount of 50+ will definitely require some ground rules and it is mandatory that all members should abide by them.
              I request the seniors and experienced ones to lay out the ground rules for the whole group which each and every member MUST follow.
              IMHO a group of 5-10 riders call for the minimum of rules but for a group as big as this do call for extra ones.
              please Enlighten



              just my opinion



              RIDE SAFE

                Yes. what you said is very true..We need to promote the safe riding and expand the safe riding group all over kerala.The intention behind this one day ride is only because of same reason But atpresent riding 50+ bikes will be a challenging task without a mistake through hilly roads after Chaganazery..and especially with newbies! for eg: tailing can be often happen through the Hilly curves and a single mistake can get the chance of huge disaster.We had the same situation with a white zmr Newbie(Mr.Darin from changanserry,who is not active in xBhp before & after that ride) during our journey to Yercaud(Inter_state G2G). These all are happening by inexperience street moto gp blood groups. So my opinion is educate them before our ride and decide by the group leader and also take the responsibility by each group itself. Trust us, we never disappoint any person who deserve a right biking culture regardless of, the less post in the thread(bcoz of various reasons) Only thing he is capable of understanding the responsiblity of a real biker unless no use of them in future
                yep, that will work too. also a suggestion, if there are more riders split into smaller groups with an experienced lead and sweep team guiding them to the destination with enough distance in between groups to avoid cluttering and traffic.

                    • Wats going on..?
                      I hope this is my first ever meet up with xBhp. Now it turns out that I must attend another G2G prior to this one and prove myself. Which I dont think I will be able to make. Given that I wont be riding in the group (meeting up at Wagamon) what am I supposed to do now..?

                      And sorry about the number of posts statement. I didnt mean it that way. What I meant is clear from my post I believe.

                        I was about to say that.

                        as riders come from all directions, shouldn't we need to make different routes?
