    I guess bikers often meet with an accident when they drive purely on adrenaline. I have a friend, who has met with countless accidents(thanks to his so-called "Josh" riding), who rides at 50-60kmph on a busy road..even now! When I ask him to slow down, he simply says "I'll fall but you won't...trust me!" I am sure he's not the only one who has such an attitude. Time will keep ticking...bikes will improve...but people with a shoddy attitude towards biking are always asking for trouble!

    P.S. The info on bike safety is brilliant!

      50 - 60 kmph on a crowded busy is too much. It definitely beats the shit out of others who watch him pass by. BUT, one mistake might turn the heroism into a joke in no time.

        Nice info there...Very beneficial...
        When we are riding we feel carefree but as a real biker we should be concerned about our safety and also the safety of others on the road.

        PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!
