Hyderabad & Bangalore Mega Twin-City Meet - 25th November, 2017

mobike008 · 4th November 2017, 09:56

This might be the first time in history of Team-BHP that a "twin-city motorcycle lunch meet" is being planned.

Well, as they say "You'll have to start somewhere & someday" and I think it's about time we did something like this as it's a great platform to bring like minded folks together.

There have been quite a few mega meets on the forum one of them that I organized long back in Goa where at-least 7 states participated and even GTO was part of that super-mega meet and some other notable ones on forum are mega Pune-Mumbai meets and ofcourse, Hyderabad & Bangalore ones too

Here is the thread from last year's (2016) Hyderabad-Bangalore Midway Drive Meet

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-b...-2016-a-4.html

Hyderabad & Bangalore are 580kms apart and technically we should look for an equi-distance which is 275kms but, unfortunately this highway has very limited eating and resting options unlike most other major highways. The only thing to be content is the brilliant 4-lane smooth tarmac end-to-end

Hyderabad to Kurnool which is about 220kms is usually lot of highway traffic which magically disappears from Kurnool to Bangalore which is almost like you own the highway and driving/riding alone. Essentially the Bangalore guys will get the meat of the drive while we struggle with slow moving cars/Luna/Splendors/Autos/Truckers to reach the venue in Kurnool

Anyways, since Kurnool is the biggest town between both these cities, it has lot of good options to halt for eating and resting. Hence, I'm proposing Kurnool for the "mega-twin-city-motorcycle-lunch meet" and as discussed in my ownership thread let us stick to either one of the 2 days (November 25th/November 26th) which works for me and majority of Hydeez folks

What : "Mega-twin-city-motorcycle-lunch meet"
When : November 25th OR November 26th
Where : Kurnool
Place to Meet : Suraj Grand OR DVR Mansion
Meeting Time : 11:00am SHARP

Thanks for creating the thread Mobike008

The idea was initiated by you, in his ownership thread. And looks like Avi has come out all guns blazing.

Now we need to play catchup with their numbers. Spread the message to your riding groups.

And why not make it a "Twin-Cities Bikes-Cum-Cars Midway-Lunch-Meet"?
Even then, it will be first-time.

Absolutely! We've had a lot of meets in Bombay which primarily had cars only, but there were a few bikers too. This time, it could most certainly be the other way around.

Heck, we've even had offroader meets where a few who didn't own 4x4s joined in & rode shotgun with us.

Oh, This was was really serious and so I notice you have included your name in the confirmed list!

Same day return meets is what I would love to be part of; easy to decide and manage. Attended few quick meets before and I am sure many would love to tag along now that it looks like cars are welcome too (?).

If yes, here's my adding my confirmation from the Bangalore side:
