Re: The streets are filled with idiots

Another rant post. Two morons in a single evening.

Sunday evening, me travelling from KR Puram to Silkboard on the ORR.

The beautiful, calm evening and very light traffic set the perfect mood for a leisurely, slow cruise and we (me, wifey) settled on the leftmost lane at a lowly 40kph, enjoying the calm breeze and the golden haze of the sunset cast over the city. I flashed my left blinkers and kept left, with 2 lanes on my right mostly empty, except for a couple of speeding cars.

Then this SoB comes along, a helmetless weirdo with a stripped-to-the-frame bike and keeps honking right behind me. I gesture him to overtake from the right side, the road was wide open. But no, he wringed his throttle and squeezed in between the road shoulder and me. What's more hilarious, after overtaking from the wrong side, he turns back and yells something in a language which I am yet to learn.

I was still in a very serene mood and let it pass.
Second moron, somewhere near Agara/HSR.

A grey Honda Civic, driving at around ~40kph on the leftmost lane. I flash him once, turn my blinkers and switch to the 2nd lane to overtake. Halfway through the overtake, he decides to turn corny. Neither lets me overtake, nor lets me switch back to the left lane. I figured he was up to some mischief. I wrung the throttle hard to disappear past him, and he too followed suit, flooring his pedals. Don't know what he was up to, left him behind at a signal where I filtered through the traffic and took a deviation into HSR layout to throw him off our trail.

Re: The streets are filled with idiots


Morons having Civic in hand and trying to fight with the biker such a dumb ass felt very ferocious by the act of that stupid.

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

I would like to add something
In Delhi, we don't have pedestrians, we have SUPERMAN'S
whenever they cross,they use their magnetic hand to show oncoming riders to stop for them, and they believe their hand can stop even a 16wheel truck (like hancock dodged a missile by waving his hand in movie)
They don't look right or left, they look straight, such high level of devotion to cross the road
We have mainly types of superman as
1. The one which crosses road like usaain bolt
2. Another type which cross in stop and go, Sprint then stop, Sprint then stop

3. Third one which dances when they see a coming vehicle, left right left. .
4. Fourth, the supreme superman who uses their mighty anti magnetic hand to show you stop or else get crushed
I'm highly depressed and annoyed with people crossing roads like terrorists walking in Pakistan, they think you will stop without hurting them, you can't harm them, and their hand can repel even a tank. .!!
They jump out of dividers onto road from anywhere and enjoy to save 20sec,no matter they might loose their whole life.
I've been involved in a deadly accident thanks to the dancing Jack pedestrians and I've dodged about couple hundered accidents with my balls coming out to my throat, and some moments, I literally see a flashback of my life and a future peek that I'll be in jail if I survived (blame the biker always)
Please I beg to all of you and to your relatives and their friends and their associates and their acquaintances. .
To cross a road
1. Spot a zebra crossing, don't go for those gaps in between divider just to save 20-40 secs
2. Wait for red light to cross upon side you want to, and PLEASE 1-1.5 min is not equal to your whole life. AND NEVER USE PHONE OR HEADPHONE WHILE WALKING/CROSSING ROAD
3. After this, become a Ninja, look constantly left and right (repeatedly in every 2 sec) and develop your senses to Bruce Lee level
4. Don't jump, Sprint, stop go or dance to and fro while crossing. maintain a constant avg. Speed.God forbid if you see a vehicle coming carelessly or you think a Collison may happen, STOP ,STAND STILL OBSERVE (don't meditate there) ,90% case, vehicle will stop, but if it looks like it won't, then while standing still jump to side which is less crowded. Remember if you dance to and fro to dodge a oncoming vehicle, the driver will get confused and will try to get past you without braking until last moment, and 99% will hit you, but if you stand still, he will SEE you, and if you're in his way, HE WILL STOP.
please help me and others and try to cross, walk on road sensibly

Hello all ;-)

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

There is an another kind of supermen too- those who cross the road like the way we drag ourselves around, just after waking up in the morning.

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

There are a lot of things we India needs to learn. Yes it's a bitter truth but at the end it's a fact.
What do you expect the kid sitting on the top of the fuel tank would learn from his father who is rashly riding his bike, haunting at incessant places, rushing through traffic, and yelling at people at no reasons.
It all needs to come from small age. No offense but its a fact.

Once I was shocked to see a family at a crossing while I was in the flock in between the people. A kid slips from his fathers hand and rushes to other end of the road while the gusty traffic rushing left and right. And guess what the father dwells into a big smile and happy while scolding the other kid "see he crossed it while moving traffic and you could not"
Wasn't this insane. Again no offense but this is a typical example where the kids must be taught where to stop n where to move.

Cheers

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

Regarding kids, I always make those people notice and regret which carry/walk with their little children on the side of active road, you should always walk with your child on the footpaths side, if you're not walking on one. !

Hello all ;-)

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

Yes thats true.
But primarily, there must be pavements/foothpaths - only then it would enable the pedestrains to walk over them.
If there are any then most of the pavements remain blocked by the local chaiwala/ or some damn cigarette shop.
And I am sure you would have seen few morons riding over the foothpaths also when in a traffic jam - and honking on the poor pedestrains.
And the poor pedestrains run like afraid dogs.

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

That on the phone guy in his SUV who drives at a snail's pace right in the middle of road and thus entirely blocking it

The two-wheeled, two-footed idiot : This species of idiot rides his/her two-wheeler at a snail's pace while keeping both the legs dangling over the road, frequently touching it. They seem to deploy some advanced breaking system(move over ABS) which guarantees them stopping power at 10kmph. However they prefer to ride like this in the right lane ahead of you when you are in a hurry. Most of the time their motive is to take a u-turn to collect grocery from the hawker opposite to you. Will either be indifferent to your honking or will have a panic attack and deploy their BFR(Both Feet on Road) braking system. This is usually followed by the choiciest abuses in the local language.

Danger rating: Moderate
Ability to irritate: High

Example (could be male too)

The "yeh dosti hum nahi todenge" Idiots : (We-will-not-break-our-friendship idiots)

These species of idiots consists of more than one person(usually 2 but many a times have been spotted in larger numbers also). They are spotted riding in groups/pairs chatting away to glory. Are mostly oblivious to your honking. Sometimes may just turn around(while still riding) and give you a smirk or an angry look signalling you to back-off. They have decided that riding together on the road is the best way to catch up on old times. Cover a large part of the road and ride at their own pace. The person behind is always put in a dilemma of overtaking from the left or right side and is made to wait patiently till they decide to end their chat. Are mostly found without helmets as it hampers their ability to interact on the go.

Sometimes they are found in male-female pairs also, with the male counter-part excitedly showing the female the sights along the road. The female is mostly a passive listener and will deploy the BFR(Both feet on Road) braking system if you honk aloud behind her.However be cautious as this may result in the male getting pissed and chasing you(he wont continue for long though thinking of the female, so you can take your chances )

Danger Rating: Moderate
Ability to irritate: Very high

P.S: I love breaking such loving jodis with persistent honking till they give me the signal to go ahead

Re: The streets are filled with idiots

[MENTION=67255]Deathmate.Zed[/MENTION] that's why I've installed super dual horns on my bike known as jalwa horns. They are more brutal than skoda horns.
Aunties,ladies and girlies simply jump off in terror from the way.(you got to see the look on their face)
Uncles find their world going up and down quickly give as much side as possible.
And rest dudes will respect you and say bhai, itna faad horn na bajaya kro (while giving side)
Thing is, these horns are the one used in 10wheelers truck, and due to large battery of Ns, they sound in full Glory. And 99.9% people mistook my bike as an blindly incoming truck. You don't wanna play with trucks.
330₹ ,best mod I've ever done on bike.
