    Ability to anticipate the moves of others on road is the key.. Master it and safe riding is a piece of cake..
    Regarding the pooja stuff, respect the supernatural powers but don't depend on them..
    I'm 6 feet tall, with an average build. I weigh around 76 kgs.

      I am pretty sure this video will help you heighten your senses to a new level. Sometimes such unfortunate incidents do happen but that shouldn't stop you from riding.



      Cheers,
      You, sir, do not even have the slightest idea how much that video has taught me. I was doing a lot of things wrong.

      Thanks a ton.

      And if anyone else can suggest more such videos, that'd be highly appreciated too.

        My advice to you is drive @40 km/hr in open roads and reconnect with your babe . Its like the run in phase where you'll regather the important aspects in your bike and brake better .
        Super-Like !!!... Riding @40 kmph (slower) on open roads/highways to reconnect with motorcycle [and to enhance motorcycling skills].

        I followed your advice about open roads. Took a friend, went for a 250km run on the highway and did a proper ride at around 80-90 kmph...
        Ideally you're supposed to inhibit speeding urge and lean towards gathering & processing sensory inputs whilst assimilating motorcycling faculties. This is necessary despite decades of riding experience under one's belt.

        Doesn't brain rewiring/reinforcing work better at slower speeds?

        Everything else is just probable.

          Dude.. its nothing to take too personal.

          Its just a another bad day, may be in your case u had 3 bad days

          its totally rubbish to sell the bike or give up riding, everyone has got different opinions and the advice is the only thing you will get free of cost

          Just take it light.. put your bike for hold someday. maybe it may require little rest too

          now you are totally in a confused state by hearing lots of opinions and suggestions, i suggest not to ride in this mind state... if so, you will start to match everything related to bike

          its nothing to do with the bike. if you really love your bike and passion of riding. don't take such decisions, i would suggest to just put pass for everything.. refresh your mind for a week, don't ride, join your friends, freak out, enjoy and take your bike for a ride

          Have a nice day pal..

          Thanks

            For any biker, Judgement is key criteria in any given situation. It comes with more and more riding. Like moderater suggested, be aware of your surroundings while riding. i really dont know how to explain it here. I always keep in mind the riding conditions, what my bike can do, what others are doing, the distance between me and the nearest vehicle, the abilities of my bike in terms of braking or power needed in overtaking situations etc.

            Try to maintain a safe distance if possible so that you have those tiny seconds and space to take evasive action.
            Everybody has their own version of TRUTH!!!!!!
