Hello Fellow bikers,

It has been long we been to a Road Trip, so now is the time to do it once more.. As this is just the beginning.. !!!

As discussed, We have planned this road trip on bikes to Raigad. Following are details of the trip :

Destination

Date : Leaving on 22nd November 2008, Saturday (in morning) & return on Sunday 23rd November 2008 perhaps after lunch.
Approx KMs one way : 200kms

Am sure all of them are going to be very much present. But for formality please do our regular procedure. Kindly mark your level of presence below :
(C-Confirmed, T-Tentative, S-Sorry)

1. Rachit -- C
2. Nitin -- C
3. Adhir -- C
4. Jayesh -- C
5. Anil -- C
6. Ajay -- C
7. Amit Bhai -- C
8. Abhishek (a.k.a. Bobs) -- C


Update : Please try & submit money by wednesday (19th Nov 2008). We may get bunglow to stay in which is arranged by Abhishek..!!(yet to be confirmed). Thanks to him. We have to take care of our food & drinks.


Some suggestions & important factors are :

1. Fuel Calculation : This is going to be exactly the way we had done for our last Road Trip (Mumbai-Alibaug). Since that was the perfect calculation done & managed entire things.

Any other suggestions or alterations are still welcome.

2. Individual share : I guess even this should be as per our last Alibaug trip. But please drop in your opinion & will do the decided way. Anybody if possible can carry little more money in case of any urgencies.

3. Accomodation : This is just not decided. We need to venture around, find on our own where to stay. As this is meant to be an adventurous trip.

4. Dos & Donts : This section may sound funny, but its equally important. Basically, the reason of this point is to ensure we dont get stucked in any bad situation & make our trip pleasant & full of fun.
No speeding or rash riding( i know its for me, will try this time ), try to stay together or at a closest distance.
No playing or teasing any other rider while riding.
Every pillion rider (back seater) will try to keep an eye or communicate with fellow riders.
No bike will wait on any stop alone, in case for wait or rest all bikers will halt at once together.
Every pillion rider will wear a helmet so lets arrange as required.

5. Ensure Bike in a good state : Dear riders, please ensure your bike is in a proper riding condition. Service your bike with engine oil change (important), check clutch wire, brakes, horns, lights, tyre pressure, etc.

More of the above details will be updated as we discuss.


If I left out any point or you have any suggestion for anything, please free to write it down rather than discussing in person or on a phone. This will keep all other members updated.

So lets make this roadtrip a pleasant, enjoyful & memorable. I expect all above people to join in.

Note : This trip is meant to be more of a kind of adventure. Its a typical road trip & please dont expect any comfort for your ass in the night. It would be certainly more fun to venture places on our own, ofcourse with a definite judgement. All we are trying to do is make every trip enhanced, more enjoyable then the previous. Basically, my aim is to cover atleast 200kms one way then lets see further how it goes. Lets do it with an only aim of fun & desire of true biking.
