    to your Three day thread!

    Well, I value your opinion brother and I appreciate you being sensitive.
    But I believe I gotta start somewhere. With or without anyone I will proceed with my idea. Might as well get my hands greased with it.

    3)Thou shalt respect one's own bike.
    4)Love thy bike as thy self.
    5)Always wear safety gear.
    6)Alcohol is a strict NO!
    7)Thou may lust after thy neighbour's bike specially if its of the R1 kind!
    8)Thou shalt ride with 'ultra-most' care and caution when on Indian roads.
    9)Thou shalt never leave the engine running at long traffic halts.
    10)Thou shalt follow all of the above.

      Absolutely no doubt on it; will have to bribe or yield to corruption that's all. You might be aware, but still, there're several NGO's & smaller groups (including FOP) working towards this. But none of them are able to bring any significant changes for the very reason of ENFORCEMENT.

      The Police themselves are going soft on the offenses & needless to say people with big cars are least bothered about these petty fines.

      One of the biggest loop holes I see is the law makers are the law breakers themselves; example...
      1. The Govt buses blocking the free flow of traffic; jumping signals
      2. These days it has become a fashion of putting up their profession on their vehicles number plates. All this originated from...guess where? Police!!! And not to mention, whether favorite or not, the current CM's pic

          I hope it isn't a sarcastic question

          Friends of Police

          Apart from this one of my acquaintance in FB, Mr Ravi sir is also helping the Police with help of volunteers, no real website to show you though

          NGOs are playing an increasingly vital role in brining about social awareness and helping the Police in effective discharge of duties

            well bro, in case you didn't notice, I have been under the radar for a while and never thought there would be like minded people already working things out. Will check them out right away. Thanks man!

              ^^^ Ok, so your question was genuine
              Check within your locality or city, I'm sure there should be one or few of them already in this business (means, work).

              But the reality is that, no matter how much they work, unless law enforcement is not serious, nothing will materialize, which lies in the hands of Govt

                See, even I tried organizing a seminar on enthusiastic, yet safe riding in my city Ajmer. I tried inviting some "important" people from the site, but no one ever came. They just ignore mails.

                If I don't get decent Guests of Honor and Speakers, how am I going to do it? All by my own?? Everybody will just consider me a lunatic. And besides I'm just a mid level biker. My knowledge, even though good, is not vast, like Old Fox sir or other elderly bikers.

                I am not joking here. Nothing is going to happen in this country or site for that matter, except for positive but isolated events in 5-6 major cities.
                The important people are busy with Xbhp magazine and I'm not blaming them. But the situation is to be blamed. Its hopeless.

                  Hey guys, I hope I am not just interfering with your topics.
                  Has anyone been thinking of setting up a motorcycling school/academy?
