Report: Bangalore Team-BHP mega meet on April 12th 2008

[speedzak]

Wow! A great meet it seems. I'm not able to make out all the faces as many of them are quiet new to me.

As the Bangy tradition, I'm sure you all had a rocking time. How many crates of bottles down and how many truckloads of chicken?

[HappyWheels]

My first T-BHP meet and what an event it was!

Thanks to Vidyut, Riju and everyone else who was instrumental in getting this whole meet organized! (Vid, I hope you did have some time to do justice to the drinks / food)

Thanks, also, to Condor, who was kind enough to provide a ride to and from the venue! :-)

Got to meet a lot of wonderful people. The discussions were so interesting that we ended up standing the whole 4hrs of the meet, the chairs were totally ignored. (The effects of those many hours of standing was felt later!!!)

Looking forward to the next one!

The organization was perfect, the organizer trio (Riju/Vid/Mag) did a great job.

Thanks a lot for giving a seat, shamil and special thanks to Vid and Riju for all the efforts.

[PatienceWins]

Welcome Rajesh!! It was a pleasure to have your company.

I was nice to meet you guys. Nice break from work!!

Thanks to all those who promptly paid up and ensure viddy was not saddled with a deficit. He just about managed to cover the tips for the staff also

We did have the usual suspects who did not intend to pay, some evaded, some refused. If there are complaints about selective meets in the future, this is a prime reason why!

The amount collected by Vid was not so high (my opinion) then why refuse for paying up. This was a meet organised for the benefit of t-bhpians to get to know each other. Hopefully form next time, the team will change.

A special thanks to all from our side who helped us make this a wonderful meet. Glad that we had so many newbie's turn up.
All the mod's ( DerAlte, Samurai,Rudra,Ajmat and Mahesh) thanks for making it. I am sure this a record meet where we had 5 mods , what say all ?

Now vid boy thanks for co-ordinating the whole thing man. Without you it wouldn't have been possible. I really lost count of our orders , but alas we never ran short of money and yes we had enough money to tip the waiters good.

Goddy good to have had you around at the meet.
Zak regarding the truck loads of chicken and the beer had, vidyuth knows the numbers .

Ajmat thats ok,such things are bound to happen. We never ran short of any money.

Vidyuth please post the names of members who made it and also a report.

Excellent meet and thanks to Vid and Riju for being our hosts and the arrangements.

Special thanks to Condor for our pickup & drop in his truck.

[vikram_d]

What a meet. Thanks to Vid & Riju for all the organising.

[sajands]

Hi All,

My 1st meet and boy, I did have a good time. Thanks to condor, for taking the effort to pickup and drop me back.

looking forward to the next meet.

It was nice to meet snaronikar and his Neat Red 3M polished sparkling ikon , Dadu, Godfather, viper, condor, arkroy, mjothi, PatienceWins, Samurai, HappyWheeles, Corsa lover , menonrajesh, mag, ajmat and vidyut.

Once again thanks to vidyut and Riju for everything.

Regards,
Sajan

[condor]

Let's not forget theMOD who helped out on & off the thread. It was good to see him stay back till the end, giving up on his family get-together. Thanks, Mahesh. And definitely good to see Samurai & Ajmat (in-turn making sure Rudra doesnt miss ) who seemed to have sync-ed their arrival in BLR with the meet. As for me - a TBHP meet as soon as I reached BLR. Esp so after missing so many meets in the last few months.

sajands : Thanks to condor, for taking the effort to pickup and drop me back.

Sajan, Dadu, HappyWheels - no problem at all. Dadu knows - once you have a truck, you look for excuses to head out

Hi Guys,

thanks to the organisers vid and riju, had fun and good to know so many tbhpian's.. was looking forward for a drive after the meet. But neverthless, I had a awesome time.

Like the beasts, vikram's swift, psyco's wooosh..woosh esteem, torque guru's cedia..all the way to 6.2k rpm {would suggest you doing something about changing the position of your air filter, your chrome plated looked kick @ss in the psyco blue color }, raghu's mad zen (dude, that's one nice revving car!). Vipers OZ alloys (aka wheelcaps as mentioned by anush and gang lol! ).

In the end would like to thank all for the meet, it was really rocking!

Cheers,
Shrey
