@Sandeep - All the best buddy.

I have moved this post to Chapter Runner category. Considering you are starting the run on 10th November, you have to complete the run before 10th November 2027.

keep posting about your journey and upload images of your meet with chapter mods (or representative in case of mods' absence) as proof.

All the best!

As per latest updates, a new app is being launched today (as communicated few days back).

Actual registrations to begin starting 9th November.

@Chiraac as requested, I have edited the post to include Krital.

@kritalmaniar way to go girl!!

I am mostly in but not adding my name since there is a slight chance of a conflict.

Too early to say. A real life on road test is awaited. However personally i think TVS has done a great in churning out good performance numbers (power and torque) from a 300cc new engine. Also the bike looks beefy and madr for true adventure.

Usually IBR planning commission members discuss and decide whenever an exception need to be created for a in-catergory bike below 350cc. But, as I said, we need to wait a little more to say whether to allow it or not.

Fantastic @sam .. the chapter runner patch is waiting for you at Bulletiapa. See you soon!

I have also updated the chapter runner list - here

I have come across few videos about fuel pump issues but still can not directly link it to the ethanol mix. Personally i have seen a dip in average on my versys 650.

Another way is to post it under General discussion category and if chapter mods wants to make it (the meet or the ride) official, they can move the post to Events section.

@Rohit-Hikes - will change and confirm. need some time.

@joyneo05 - what's your DOJ?

Registration has been kept open since we have few more slots available. However, anyone registering & paying after 10th September will not get the goodies bags since we have already placed the orders.

They call it a Sin Tax. Its ridiculous and the govt see above 350cc bikes as luxury.... wtf!!

This eventually will be a big hinder to the transition plan of riders who wanted to move to bigger and better bikes to satisfy their adventure needs. I know for a fact that this extra 12% over previous 28% will play a psychological barrier even if the same person can afford it.
