See the contradiction buddy??

fight it standing !!

Speed breaker (or bike breakers ) is the worst unavoidable nightmare of every rider here .
I advice everyone not to speed on unknown roads, anyways we dont like surprises. This is just the precaution part .

On the other hand , practice riding bike while standing on the foot pegs. U will understand the load bearing capacity of the puny little footpegs of our bikes. Better invest in all metal footpegs, they come cheaper than the factory fitted rubber sleeved ones (incase of my 220, changed it to Yamaha R15 metal footpegs... well yamaha ones are cheaper than pulsar's original and looks cool and serves the purpose better ).

It suddenly comes and I dont think you'll have enough time to apply a technique ! It is just the instincts that can save you !

I think you were not able to see the bump because you were not maintaining proper distance with the riders in front of you.

Problem is in India most of the riders(not you) tend to change lane by leaning when someone in front slows down or breaks or if something comes in the middle of the road but instead of doing that first thing is to brake. This causes many accidents.

Well I have had it both on Indian bikes and Japanese bikes as well..THe indian bike (read bullet) had no problems of taking any bump..Though i drive it at insane speeds (100+)!!, the pot holes, the bumps, non-existent roads... it doesnt matter..But i have had some lucky ones..Touch wood!

The Japanese bike (read Ninja) does not enjoy the bumps even a wee bit...Its on the Ninja that i have to tread carefully than the Indian made one!..But it doesnot have a steering damper installed too...But am not sure even that would help you in indian terrain!!
Indian bumps is 20% skill (which is in your hand and you can develop), 30% others on the road and 50% sheer luck!!...
