I have had my share of experience.
My friends says..why do you need the Cramster jacket while riding in a city..just wear a normal jacket... Wearing a balaclava under the helmet makes people stare at me as if I am alien from another planet. People often ask me about my knuckle protected gloves and when I tell dem the price... dey give me "Oh-what-an-idiot" kinda a look. and at the lites....I just dont understand the pride these fellow bikers and activa walas get in overtaking me!!!! ![]() ![]() Many a times while goin on a ride...funny incident too happen..like people wanting to take a snap with me and my bike.... cheering us on if we cross dem on the way... and shouting...."Go Go Go Go"

I ride new P180 with full sporty posture (100% inbuilt feature) & +99.99% get added due to my attitude cum my gloves, jacket,helmet etc.. sometimes it feel very good as people stare at you & mermarizing something in each other ears, but sometime you can judge looking there eyes that they mean nothing but just making fuss of you.. anyway.. i just relaxes & give another pose & buzz off quickly .... its totaly depend person to person...

Even i really dont know what people think in their heads...
Earlier i used to ride a HH Splendor...i used to wear a helmet, gloves and jacket... people used to give me looks like " Saala sports bike jaise jacket and all pehenta hai" Now that i ride a Karizma ZMA....People find it justified....even though i ride my karizma slower than my splendor (as it is in Run In) Safety is Safety according to me.....let it be a busa or a scooty... its better to be safe than be sorry...

![]() Somehow , I never faced things like these .. or maybe I ignore them (such people) subconsciously. Recently I know people stare at the shining chrome and say , "dude its a 500" . Thats all

BTW, I'm surprised they even know their R1s from the R15s.

It really pisse me off sometimes.....
I get these kinda stares at almost all the signal stops.... Some just stare and let go.... Some ask you what are wearing these for? ...Some giggle in themselves thinking you are joker... Some think you are a poser or some rich spoilt brat.... But one thing common in all these is that they are CONFUSED as to how to react.... That's coz people are not used to seeing riders with protective gear among them They have only seen those on the Television or movies.... This is what i can summarise from my experiences... But at the end of the day i know i m doing the right thing to protect my a** and smile... ![]() cheers... |
