I could have done without this post as its not going to serve any purpose rather than just conveying what already has been done by few members.

But i do believe that if a good work is done it should be appreciated.

Great write up there sir !!

Reminds of basic things to be kept in mind and being alert of them for our own and others safety

TnT · 04-16-2009, 04:50 PM

Very well written there sir, I'm a new xbhpian, went through the WHOLE yamaha yzf r15 ownership thread as I may own one in the near future (hoping), before reading Hard Torque.. and this is my first comment after all that reading because I could really Get what you were saying, and just had to say something.
I don't want to boast or anything but I've never had a single accident while riding my bike for 5 years till now (TOUCH WOOD I won't have one now either!) in Hyderabad.. I have learnt to account for the small things concerning safety and road traffic etiquette other drivers/riders overlook either by negligence or impatience.. Ppl say I'm a cautious rider! (But I do ride fast when I know its safe)

Anyway.. xbhp is a GREAT place for guys like me, who just likes randomly getting up at dawn, donning on a jacket, helmet, shoes etc and going off for a long ride in the ring roads just because of the feeling of freedom it inspires! I love biking (not saying im a biker, but I definitely would want to become one, in the Truest sense!) and I love xbhp!

Excellent !!!
I am not a new member to xbhp, but a silent one for sure.. I normally don't post any comments other than the problems I face in my bike, but couldnt help myself to display my feelings for your write up sir...
I really loved every bit of your write up and I agree to what you said that its uponevery individual to avoid an accident.
I happen to meet with an accident some time back and it was due to a huge stone lying in the middle of the road, so when I wa reading your post, I could only think about my accident.
I am not so safe rider as I do, sometime take risks and that only when I am getting late to reach somewhere and I always tell myself that I shouldnt be doing that...
But after reading your post, I will surely try to be more cautious and a responsible rider

hi OF..

yes.. i'd like to add in a key word..

its ANTICIPATION ... thats like the main survival mantra..

assume everybody on road is mad dog and anticipate the worst..

praneshvittal · 04-28-2009, 10:20 PM

Nice write-up OF, reminds me of my dad's sayings (which he picked up from Reader's Digest wherein a British Bus Driver who retired without a single accident shares his experience)...

"Always regard the other drivers as fools" (You never know when they'll go crazy and hit you)...

On roads, its you whose responsible for your safety !!!
