One of the most important thing I have learnt over the years...and crashes....is that never overtake when you don't know what's ahead of the vehicle that you are overtaking. Moreover, even if things look clear then hold your horses for sometime say 5-10 seconds and then start your maneuver.

When I started riding I was reckless. I was once chasing a Roadways bus and wanted to do anything I can to make it bite the dust (pun intended of course). The traffic was in the right most lane and the bus was going really fast in the left one. I thought of overtaking the bus from left since there was still a lane left on the left (). As soon as I got into the left lane..I uttered the most versatile word of this universe(people who listen to Osho will know about this one ) - "F***". There was a gol gappa wala right in front of me and I just swerved inches away from it. I then slowed down and gave up my dreams .

Another scenario was when I going to a G2G. I was not riding hard. I was just casually riding and as soon as I overtook a car...my balls short circuited. A dog ran across the road and I banged into it. No speeding. No rash riding. No godly maneuvers. Just forgot to hold my horses to check up things.

even u ppl think so

i m ,n i dont suppose u have a prob.
i may still be underage but that doesnt mean im an insane or rubish rider.
i ride safe with gears n stuff and only speed when on hiways bcoz i know consequences.

there is a hell of a misconception that young blood is always boiling ,
its not so ,its only how u percieve them ,bcoz there r always gud riders and bad riders. its only u observe bad riders aka yound blood............

no offences its just my perspective

welll said bro .
people kust generalize and say that ''he will ride rash because he is a kid'''
THIS IS WRONG .. i dont touch my bike without a helmet ,,
and i think a 100 times before i make a move but still there are some
stupid youngesters who think that they rule the world and i am totally against them ..
ride safe with gears ..

i am 16 and yeah i didnt mention that there's a problem due to young biker's i just asked how many members aged 16-18 are here...this is what i meant.. and many of my friends own a bike and a friend of mine who has got a hh hunk rides it to 45-65 kmph[may be more] in a street with full traffic without any gear ....and says nothing will happen to me like he's a god and foretell his future...i dont stop him cause he wont listen to me....

because of some like these about whom i mentioned above ppl think we all are rash drivers

Nobody is pointing out the kids here,bro.(I am 19).Relax.I used to ride a Fiero at the age of 15.And I rode better and much more sensibly than most adults.
The feeling of responsibility comes from within.It doesn't matter if you are underage or over.
We are talking majority here. Havent you seen how many of 16-18 years brats think they are gods on wheels just because they have a P220 or the RTR?
Times have changed,there are more potent street tools available for the posers.

miss took you dude ..
belive it or not .. i like the people who i see with their helmets on and with some riding gears .. i dont like those TAPORIES who come out of BASTIS with their uncles ,auntys bikes

ahh!! thats okk!!

man it should come from within...the sense of riding will all gears on..and the basic requirement for this is education which the people you mention i presume dont possesss..[no offence]

sorry bhai misunderstood you.........


yes i know ,u r totally correct n i ll have to agree with you.....
n yes u were lucky to ride fiero ,i newer did though have heard akot about it.

i totally agree with you bro.
i actually drool over such guys who r into riding gears.......
P.S.-i m no homosexual ,this drooling is a lot diff
also if u r under 18 then how do u go on G2Gs?????


@ all - guys we are going OT ,lets stick to topic.we can start another topic on this.

What i learnt is to work hard in life n buy a four wheeler
and Hope Luck remains on my side

G2G here wont happen .....[OT] "cause i think i am the only one from siliguri...and yeah i usually dont go to the local g2g of the local bikers club [xkmph] and yeah my brother doesnt give me the keys of the bike to ride on highhway i just usually wake up in the morning around 5 am and ride the bike.."

i think we aint going OT as the topic goes " " Accidents that you witnessed/participated in and what you learn from them?"


"

exactly EDUCATION is required
you knwo there are people who ride bike and dont know what is a SPARK PLUG or a AIR FILTER
i dont think we are going OT
and BTW .. it even looks good when we wear protective gear .. drags a lot of attention and SAFETY both at a same time ..
UNLIKE THOSE STUPID IDIOTIC PEOPLE ..!!!!!
sorry but i really hate them ..

Please see this video and be careful in future.....

This video is about a recent accident in Dehradun where four 15-16 year old school students were killed in a single accident...It happend when they were racing..Two bikes were involved in the crash. A ZMA R and a P220...... Everytime I see this video I feel scared...

YouTube - 220 & Karizma crash

To the guys who were discussing abt under 18s.. its not about young blood alone. The problem is even if someone hits you, you'll end up in trouble because you aint got license buddy

yes i know ,i have been through that trouble also
but y stereotype young riders
there r riders who drive safe but then also they r categorized as rash drivers.......
nd thats wat the prob is
y cant u just see this that majority of those mammus newer wear helmets and are tripling most of the time,
if they cant punish their own selves then y punish us
and about accident ,it can happen with ne one
even riders with decade of experience can canfront an accident.......
i guess u understand what i mean......
just dont catogarize us just bcoz v r underage......
and ne ways 1 year more then i would be of legal age of driving.........

Read wat i said.. i said u might be a tonne more safe that anyone else. But if a rash old driver with a license hits you, and the mistake is his, trouble will follow you only because you dont have license.. i never said young people drive rash. that is just nonsense.
