Chennai Team-BHP Meets

supremeBaleno · 9th January 2009, 20:18

How about riding pillion on the 24-gear, disk-brake equipped machine, which needs no gas ?

Jokes apart, if only we still had the Woodlands Drive-in (WDI). A nice place for a meet, lots of parking, trees, shade, food etc.

Well, he bought a few Tata trucks for the company and they gave a Safari free with the purchase.

Last resort: There's always shell @ Rs.39/L of diesel.

when did u purchase Safari ? time to update your garage

anyway don't want to hijack the chennai meet thread -

good news - fuel crisis is over - so tank up and have a great meet

BAKIYA_2K12 · 10th January 2009, 00:17

I think we have to wait for the fuel crisis to get over i am also running low on fuel

VSG12777 · 10th January 2009, 01:29

Hmm - same here too. Low fuel in both our Cielo and Santro. My wife's Kinetic Flyte is empty I think. Have to buy fuel in a bottle and fill it before it can be used. I am surviving & able to ride to office only on my bike (Avenger 200) as I had filled it up around Christmas since I got the service done. I drove to Hosur in the Cielo with my wife the next day and got back 3 days later.

Glad I have more than half a tank of fuel in my bike at this time.

If it's just a meet, I can come on my bike. No big deal. After all, it's not just the cars we are bothered about.

However if you guys want to go on a drive, I feel it's better we wait till this fuel crisis is over.

Warm regards,
Venkat

Looks like the fuel crisis is almost over . Things should be getting back in a day or two.

josepeter · 10th January 2009, 09:22

Maybe we can have a bicycle meet a la madan98.3. Cycle down to Bessie beach, have breakfast at Murugan Idly, admire the disk brakes on each other's bicycles and cycle back home.

Ok, am game, but SB are you buying me THAT bicycle? LOL

ram.west · 11th January 2009, 11:58

guys!! what happen?? just came back from thiruvannamalai. Did i miss a meet??!!

nitrous · 11th January 2009, 20:56

Dont worry,Ramesh.
Most of them were busy/out of town. So,nothing happened..

esteem_lover · 12th January 2009, 13:41

Sorry guys, have been off the forum and offline most of the time. We will plan for something this weekend.

madan80 · 12th January 2009, 13:57

this weekend sounds good. lets plan something.

ram.west · 12th January 2009, 14:13

Sure guys!!! Drive or Just a Meet??

VSG12777 · 13th January 2009, 13:24

Just a meet would be preferable this time. I don't see any point in us just driving tens of hundreds of kms for a meet and lunch. We should plan to just meet and spend more time in getting to know one another. Many of us Chennai BHPians still have not interacted with one another in person. So let us give importance to that this time.

Sunday would be better for me - maybe sometime after 10am.

Warm regards,
Venkat

I heard on the radio there is going to be a Auto expo at the Chennai trade centre from 16th, How good is that?
