  • [Photo Feature]: Rest In Peace My Partner!!!

    July 31st 2009 was a fine day for me in the morning, where i started off with some fun playing with my 6 month old daughter and as clock started ticking the hourly chime at 9 reminded me of me getting late to work. Saying bye to my better half and again fuzzing with the kid, i had to leave them. Came to the parking lot and saw my partner, (yes my Pulsar 200) with a little dust on it, buffing them gently with a soft cloth took all the dust away and there she smiled at me saying "Let's Go".

    cranked the engine and there she comes to life and kept her idling for about a minute and slowly drove her away to my office with some respect for her power ignoring the posers who tried to overtake me at each and every corner wanting a street race. Had a hectic day all over at the office and i was wanted at my other branch which is again 30 kms into the remote area of coimbatore. Went all the way there and finally completed my work at 6 and was ready to leave the office. Witnessed the beautiful sunset and there again i saw my partner asking "Is it over" nodding my head positively i hopped on to her, wiping my NX5 visor and again there she's got her life vrrooommm....there again we left the place with some foot prints of the IRC's. Had a nice time in pulling some stoppies with my friends for about 10mins and we split heading home for the weekend.

    I was enjoying my steady cruising at 70 kmph enjoying the sunset and out of the moon i saw two guys just ahead of me in some 1 meter distance on their Tvs XL's who were actually standing in the corner of the road and appeared at the centre of the road in no time. Both me and my partner didn't have enough time to respond and there i land up in head-to-head collision the bike flipped over twice and I was thrown away on to the road side regaining some consciousness i got up and found the two guys to be totally smashed out on alchocol and i had no choice than to leave them and tow the bike home. That night i discovered that i suffered from injuries such as bruises all over my knees and arms, swollen neck, left arm with a slight dislocation and pain!!! But i must say a truth that my partner took all the beating and some of the damages to him were front fairing totally broken but managed to save the HID, Front fork assembly bent, rear tail completely broken, foot rest broken, seating frame broken, handle bars broken, dents in silencer plate and more.....

    Took my partner to service centre 3 days back and the estimate was about 16k (On insurance, but they've asked me to spend and then claim) overall and as i'm running short of funds as i've given around 30k to my closest friend to find his lost sister. I had no choice but to leave her there!!! My eyes were filled with tears seeing her stripped and it kept waiting for me and is still waiting hoping that i will come take her back soon!!!

    That is a sad story. Hoping a fast recovery for your partner. Do you not have a comprehensive insurance policy?

            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.

                    At least for car claims, the insurance guys come over. The car workshop fellas call the insurance guys and are given the estimate. The Insurance looks at it. And they validate it and pay for it. This normally does not take more than 3 working days.

                            Find out from the garage guys. They handle these cases all the time. They would know better. They may act lethargic and say no. But I am pretty sure that this would be same procedure for bikes as well.

                              It is the same for bikes as well... I had a bad crash on my CBZ. This is what happened:
                              • The service station gave me an estimate
                              • took the estimate and submitted it at the insurance co.
                              • assesor came to the service station for inspection. He checked the damage and approved the repairs (this took some calling up, chasing and running around)
                              • Once the repairs were complete, I paid up what the insurance did not cover. (not sure, 50% covered for plastic parts i think)
                              Got my bike back in about a week.

                              Usually, the service station arranges everything for you. Make sure you're getting it done at a pbk rather than a local garage.

                              Take care and get well soon (both of you)
