      All of the article says about to see and major judge and teach only some notorious ill mannered rider's,biker,people showing their skills off. Judge them and then Hit it hard on the nail's head and out past them!

      The Last point makes a Lot of sense!
      Thanks for this addition sunny!

          I have tried a lot , these people will never learn . Absolute lunatics they are defying all sense in the world . Even youngsters drink n ride during day time , heck morning time , as it is they are dangerous even when not drunk.

          The only thing that matters to them is plonk a fat ass tyre on the rear and swerve right n left and speed up even on streets where there is no footpath and poor pedestrians have to pray for their life . They dont even have the humanity to think that a small kid might come up in the front so try to keep low speed so that urgent breaking could be done .

          I have seen accidents in front of my eyes caused due to irresponsible riding and could have been avioded easily if the person would have been riding sanely . Been the victim of accidents in cases where I was not at fault at all.

          Somethings never change and some people never learn , no amount of effort is of any use .
          Hope is a good thing ,
          may be the best of things and
          no good thing ever dies .

          Get busy living or get busy dying .

            I never felt the need to street race. Idiots are plenty, why add to the population Just ignore these maniacs, let them live in their illusion.

                Nice one!!

                Riding on r15 in city, usually I face this issue every odd day from every odd possible bike and moped. I am not sure if a guy goes with city speed limit with proper jacket,helmet and gloves; does it hurt some one wildest ego? Even most of the time its irritating when u get ths unwanted invitations. For me biking is fun and my best thing to do in life after my job. The best way for me the no 7 point. Put power throttle when u start, jst when they feel the race is on, go slow on throttle and move to safer (slower side) and reach/carry normal speed. Let them shoot away and face the muzic of potholes, blind and deaf pedestrians. After all in city like Bangalore the first and last will meet at same point. It hardly make any difference.
                Even before picking up my 1st bike(same r15), I was into xbhp. All riding skills, etiquette I hv learned is from here only. Now my friends and group also following same and modifying their skills.

                Remember there someone is waiting...there r many things to be completed..

                    Nice article there! I'm sure it'll go a long way into infusing some sense into people (including me)

                    PS: I wonder why we saw it only after a gap of over 5 years!

                    The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                        Splendid article Sunny Bhai, This is really helpful. After reading the whole article it really kicks some humanity back to get on the line. Specially the last point that out on the street most of the innocent citizens are wishing to reach home safely and see the loved ones greeting happily. Nobody has any right to risk their lives. So when some stupid punks drive recklessly while thinking he is something else then we should take all of them to the track (by pulling the ear if possible) and teach them what does RACING mean...else we could just arrange a race (in safe empty street) by sweet invitation and teach them real hard. I liked the point about shaking hands with the real racer after the race.
                        SPEED-2-LIVE. Never forget that loved ones are waiting for you at sweet home. Ride Safe with FuLLy LoAdeD SaFEty GeaRs.

The invincible feeling is nice while it lasts, but can get you a lifetime of regret.
                          These words really moved me! I personally think this pretty much sums up the article for me..
                          Thanks a ton Sunny bhai for sharing the wonderful write-up..

                            this whole article should be read by the chappal clad,T-shirt out,not wearing helmet,inspired by the "DHOOM" movie, (forget TORQUE,BIKER BOYZ..) MORONS out there,who drive R15,Pulsar's and RTR's with their bloody thumbs in horn button and cutting through the traffic like they'll be given role in the movies after that....

                            VERY GOOD ONE SUNNY.....

                              great article sunny... am sure it would put a lot of sense into millions of riders who ride without knowing their responsiblity towards other road users or themselves.... if they read this and understand it that is... but am sure impressed and inspired by your article.
