While the list goes on, my last attendance in QCM was more or less an Endurance ride, mad rains, bad roads and interesting revolts.

Should we do this cray crazy ride this year again?

Diwali gets over by 8th and Chhath by 16th. I need to be in Bangalore for Diwali and in Patna for Chhath.
this leaves me with10 days between chhath and Bulletiapa

@nitesh has suggested a plan to park my vehicle at CG and then start ride right after Chhath.

Dear Riders,

I am planning my ride to Ranchi for Bulletiapa 2026, but I’ve hit a logistical conundrum and need your collective wisdom.

My Constraints:

The Patna Deadline: I need to be in Patna for Chhath Puja. I have a 6-day window between Diwali and Chhath to complete the leg to Patna.

The Ranchi Leg: Following Chhath, I have a 9-day gap to reach the Bulletiapa venue in Ranchi from Patna.

The Alternate Plan:

If the Bangalore-to-Patna stretch is too tight for November, I’m considering riding from Bangalore to Patna earlier (between Dussehra and Diwali) and leaving the bike in Patna, Chhattisgarh, or MP. I would then fly back and return to ride the final leg to Ranchi in late November.

Since I have already completed the East Coast route from Bangalore, I am looking for fresh inland route suggestions that fit these windows.

What do you suggest for the best route?

Cheers,
Manish

Dear Riders,

I’m currently using an MT Thunder 3 helmet, which has served me well but has a few drawbacks. After 5 years of using MT and Axor helmets for city and touring rides, I’m looking to upgrade.

Could you please recommend a good helmet with the following considerations in mind?

1. Lightweight
2. Performance in rainy conditions (my current MT Thunder 3 fogs up significantly)
3. Availability of accessories
4. Ease of maintenance and cleaning

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
