yes,,i have seen it too happening with nitin batra's navi in raid 2008. nitin batra gave the gypsy to his navi to drive out the remainig transport to the end of the leg. he took a hairpin and gypsy flipped...but the wrong thing the navi did was his hand came out of the window and he tried to hold a rock on the hill and his hand was pressed between the weight of the gypsy and that rock..fortunately..officials and some bikers were following them and rescued...

Broken limb! last thing in my mind. Thanks for the info guys!!

About roll cage, is a bolt on roll cage acceptable in INRC. Want to know any particular design (bolt on type) which is acceptable for the events. I want to get into rallying through my zen or the good old M800 (ss80, old model).

Reads the regulations. The roll cage diagrams are mentioned. I think part of it can be bolted.

How will the nets help? How r they fixed to the windows? AFAIK they r used mostly in Off-road sports, right?

Anyways, I am practising from quite a while in this tracks in my stock pulsar 150, as I am preparing for the Dakshin Dare 2010. A photo of today's fall. The track was quite damp due to yesterday evening's rain. Can see the slush behind (in between the rear view mirrors)

Was quite fun, I also found some folks practicing at the Indian nacza lines.

if it is slushy, try it with worn out tyres and try to control the skid and maintain the speed and driving line.

Are you entering the extreme class in 2W? Is there an extreme class for 2W?

What is this 'extreme class in 2W' Tom? AFAIK it is called 'Ultimate Bikes' Group D which I have entered, not running in TSD format (atleast that is what I heard :-)).

My bike's both tyres are bald, with 50k kms on the clock. Especially rear is smoother that it will never stop on wet tarmac / mud / gravel. That is what I am practicing as of now! FUN, FUN, FUN, with a couple of falls on the mud!
