You are welcome @Abhilash Kottakkal. At the end of the day it will all fun and learning curve. However, badayer drives usually start with 3 phases., A warm up, yalla push, and landing to exit. We will check how it goes in the first phase, and beginning of the second phase, and adjust tire pressure accordingly if any issue. However, it is always important to relax, have confidence, concentrate, and promise you will enjoy. Now, going back to your leave from work (oh looks I have plenty of time to type ). That decision you need to evaluate, commercially, technically, socially and logistically. Will leave it for you ....😅 Look forward to see you Good day

Dear badayer visitors, @Ignacio Quindós @Dev_ @Issam Atra @Srilakshman Karthikeyan @Haneef Thayyil @DP1011 @Abdelghani @Abhilash Kottakkal @Krishna R, thank you for joining, and look forward to see you tomorrow. We will use radio chanel 2, and moving as per below convoy order. Look forward to see you tomorrow 6 morning, ready to start.

Noted @Abhilash Kottakkal. Will add you. But if you don't come to our work, will issue warning to you

@Ishak, @DTG, @Shiju Raju, @Johannes Roux, @Sreenath G, @Zulfikhar Naiyar, @Ben Williams, @Deepak Eswar & @Juan R This is your mid-week reminder to check your availability towards the end of the week. The theme of this drive is to drive at slightly slower pace. As you drive in the dunes of Qudra and Lisaili, I encourage you to challenge yourself to drive with intentionality. Feel the gentle press of the pedal, the subtle shifts of the steering wheel, and the rhythm of your breath syncing with the track we draw on the desert canvas. So, let this upcoming Sunday be a celebration of you, your vehicle, and the road ahead a Dopamine Drive.

@Hugo as this is your first drive of the week, I will add you to the drive. Please confirm your availability. @Jona & @Bjoern - this will be the second drive of the week for you. Please let me know your availability in case someone drops out and we are able to extend. @Mohit Gurnani, @Ahmad Nerat, @FERNANDO SYRIO, @Bashar Beasha, @Rk ram, @Andrei S, @Naveen Raj, @Gok Krish - just a mid-week reminder to check your calendars; that they are clear, else you can exit and don't take up slots. @Mehmet Volga, @Rajiv Sam, @Joji varghese, @Pacific looking forward to your support in this drive.

@Abhilash Kottakkal all your issues are from your inexperience and overthinking about the situation. Don’t worry much about anything. Every incident is a learning experience and just go on with the newfound knowledge. Just keep driving and you will find the balance with the experience you will gain. In Newbie drives I often start at 12 just continue with it till the drive end. I can see they being at 14-15 psi. It always depends on the terrain and the intensity of the drive. Specifically Badayer and Tawi Nazwa my opinion is that those areas are well traverses and so the areas are often compacted, you should ideally not face any issues. Having said that if you remember the one time I pulled you, I did so - only to move you out of the situation you yourself put into by digging into to the sand and after that you - YOU Yourself - self recovered. And post that I drove much more aggressively and in much more difficult terrain but we didn’t had any refusals. Often it is just mind game rather than anything else. Be chill about it and just enjoy. Over time you will have the experience to manage the situations you WILL find yourself and looking back on these trivial issues you will have a good laugh.

I am in. How can I miss Badayer with @Hisham Masaad?

Like I said, BFG won't flex much at 12 PSI, and I haven't seen anyone having 3 popout on BFG in one drive. BFG rarely pops out due to the strong (8-10 ply) sidewall. You can try with 12 PSI again and then mid-drive lower to 11 PSI to test, but make sure you take the reading with two different gauges to be accurate. If 11 PSI goes fine, drive for 2-3 drives to settle with 11 PSI based on your car weight and driving style. After 3 drives, try again 10 PSI to test. I had BFG on my SWB Patrol weighing 2 tons and always drove them at 10 PSI, and even at 8-9 PSI occasionally.

@Hisham Masaad sorry for being late. I was waiting for my manager to confirm the leave tomorrow. I guess he is sleeping without reading emails. Please add me to the drive if possible..

@Haneef Thayyil it is a very good question. @Dev_ was promoted to FB and therefore he is eligible to drive in the FB drive. On the other hand you were not promoted at the time I had to remove you from the drive. You might be wondering how can he be promoted just after 2 drives! Here we have a system where one can self declare their prior off-roading experience in other clubs and have out of turn promotion to FB. If not one has to do 5 Newbie drives and apply for promotion. please also note that promotion at any level is not automatic. There is a feedback loop through which every application is run through provided also that all the necessary equipment for the new level are with the applicant. hope it helps. Do not hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.

Oh no ! That’s not fair ! You have to ask for your own car 😉

@Hisham Masaad if I take a leave on that day and join the drive will it be okay for you??? You know i had a difficult time with you with bfg. Then with gaurav newbie drive with 10psi it was okay. Then again gautam feewbie drive I had three popouts...so I am wondering...if you let me I will take a leave and join this drive amd see I get shoutings or can find some peace with current bfg tyres...sorry for the late message just came back from business trip...

Please note the nearest fuel station is at: ADNOC Service Station | Al Faya Shahinat - 3 (764) 6 km down the lane. @Johannes Roux it's a FB+ drive so, you would not be eligible to join the drive.

Okay 👍 Thank you @Looper☺️

Thanks @Looper I've removed myself from the WL

Hi Vanessa, Had to skip this weekend as we are sharing one car with my partner and he is taking it to another carnity drive 😃 Have a good drive and hopefully I will join next week ! Best, Natalia

@Hugo - Also just to help you more , You are technically WL no. 2, since there are total 4 people, and the first 2 WL are on their second drive, so WL Guys with their first drive get priority on moving to confirmed slot - So now 2 chances - If 2 people drop, you are deftly IN or if the convoy extends by 2 people, then too you are in
