Please consider fellow bikers plight during Rain
Hi Guys,
This post may seem like a rant but it's fresh hot (err!! cold) after coming home drenched in Chennai heavy rain (right now it is still raining).
Well, my point is:
Generally Indian roads get worse in the slightest bit of rain but no road stands to the onslaught of monsoonal rains, add to that blaring headlights of oncoming vehicles and hammering of showers reducing the visibility to a couple of meters, Here we are, Bikers - Small or big, raiding on the rain - hoping to go home early to loved ones, before the rain gets heavier and worse.
Cars mainly (and some other bikers too) care a dam* about the fellow bikers on the road and splash a WALL of water on the bikers. Superbike or TVS50, we all have a small spark plug running the show, and a drop of water, on our bikes, will cause a splutter and the bike dies down right on the middle of the road, all while; the offender runs free, splashing water all over whilst sitting on the comfort of his AC and raiding back home.
All I am saying is, when it rains, please .. please.. give due consideration to fellow riders, and ride accordingly. Remember that as much as you would like to go home and snug in bed with your child, that guys likes to do to.
NB: If you are wondering, why in the world, does the biker (here me) decides to brave the rain, instead wait it out -> The answer is (a) its monsoon rain - never know when it will stop (b) IMHO, its better to brave the rain, than wait and get stuck in the inundated water in the overflowing subways / flyovers / roads.
Sorry if did rant much, but hey, its XBHP, I have a voice
Cheers
