Hi all,
Firstly I am confessing that I was an Idiot and very immature to drive at such a high speed especially while going to college from mulund to dombivli. I normally take my bike to college once a month and on the 1st april I left for college at about 10.20 a.M I had an uneasy feeling since morning but did not bother.I wore my knee and elbow guards thick jacket and of course most importantly My vega boolean helmet which I had purchased after a lot of argument with my parents that I needed a good helmet. About 20 minutes into the ride I crossed the KDMC pipeline road and then hit the kalyan shil road. Now that road is almost empty at about 11.00 A.M except for some locals who go from one village to another. I crouched on the tank and gunned the throttle my bike rapidly reached 100kph and I was still accelerating I saw another bike at a distance on the left side of the left lane (I was on the right lane) I honked so that he could know that someone was approaching on the other lane . Then when I was about 15 feet away from him the bummer he had no RVm's swerved sharply into my lane without any signal or even looking back. I just remember the screech of my tires on applying the brakes then a bang.I woke up in the hospital and called my friend who lives in Dombivli he cut the phone since he thought it was a prank then I asked the doctor to call him he came to the hospital Then he showed me my helmet I was shocked that I had been through such a major crash. I feel really lucky to have been wearing a good helmet and knee&elbow guards and a jacket.I escaped with only bruises and a sore body. I urge all bikers to wear a good helmet and atleast basic riding gear so that (god forbid) if something like this happens they do not hurt themselves badly. Damn I should have listened to my friend and purchased those Riding gloves.

A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

Thank god you are safe and came out with minor injuries. Its your helmet, jacket and knee guards that made you come out in ease from this crash. Get well soon,bro. And give your bike everything for its reawakening.

Whoa, buddy thank your stars, that is some impact man, the bike seems to have taken it all, look at the tank.

Get well soon, hope to see you back on the bike soon.


PS:- One advice sell of the bike and buy a new one, it seems to be very badly damaged it wont be the same bike again.

May you get well soon, you were very lucky. Looking at the state of the helmet, god only knows what would have happened had you not had one on your head, or the quality was not as good, or if it was not secured properly.
GOD BLESS!!!

good that you had good body cover...but u missed the basic gloves. I give more preference to wearing gloves than elbow guards...
