      What about some bitta rain gear and some gear code?

      Since all of you are quite experienced i think oyu guys would have a great and safe trip..!
      Thanks for pointing out.

      I did not specify originals since it is assumed as we are ride inter-state.

      Gear code - Again, most of them are experienced or atleast have the minimum gears. Rain gears would be insisted when weather demands.

      Anyways it is just a preparatory checklist. This would give them a broad idea what is expected out of each one of us.

        Sri one small suggestion here that not everyone needs to carry basic tools, let one person carry the basic tools & puncture kit, & foot pump (that's with me for now).

          @rajesh: Dont worry to buy spare cables. I have them for the GS. Ill give them to you this weekend. Hope there is no use for them though.

          Update: Crampbuster - mrsrini

            @Raghav: Give your spare to Rajesh. I think, my bike too has many in common with yours.

                Sriram, If possible you could also get the advance cash tomorrow from the folks who are ready to join for HH apart from those who already paid.

                  Hey guys, I'm new here(and to biking in general) and I would have loved to join you guys. But the Landmark Open Quiz is on August 15, and I have been looking forward to that for a while.

                  Anyway, will definitely join you guys for the next G2G.
                  The name is Aditya and I go to college here in Chennai.

                    Just a few pointers guys:

                    1. The last petrol bunk is at : Madanapalle & as you know there is none in Horseley Hills. Tank up before climbing up the hill.

                    2. There is so many opportunity for Off-Roading, be very very careful on such terrain. The ride would be bumpy, First timers please follow the lead rider & never over take the lead.

                    3. Ride relaxed, No fuss nothing - Just use a lot of common sense & Ride On - Ride Safe.

                    4. Have enough cash with you guys, do not rely on ATMs.

                    5. Please take a SPARE KEY & hand it over to some one else, would help you guys ride back even if the original key is lost.

                    6. Take One / Two Foot pumps - Tubeless + Tube puncture repair Kit. Basic tools available in the Bike ought to be enough.

                    7. Bullet Pandi - Service your bike + Adjust your tappets before the trip. Carry 500ml Oil atleast

                    Good Luck guys

                      ^ Thanks Ananth. Your valuable pointers would definitely be of great help since I do not think any of the guys intend had been there before.

                      Wish you were riding with us!

                            WagonR will not roar, hope it doesn't cry beyond what it can!!! C'mon man, it cannot do off-roading due to low GC.

                            The shortest way I'm trying now is to fix the existing caliper & its with the mercy of blacksmith now & he committed half heartedly that he will break the bleed screw & hand over the caliper tomorrow

                              @Aargee - I can understand the tremendous frustration that you are going through. All I wish and pray that the issue gets resolved soon and make HH another memorable ride.
