      Never knew Helmets had this kind of functional use as well. We need to reward him for such an innovation

          that the most sturdy saddle bag/tank bag/elbow bag/sling bag i have ever seen....
          even the bag for veggies is ISI mark...

          kudos to the guy for going such limit where the veggies have more value than the .10 cent head of his...

          i just remembered that in HYD once there was a check going on for so called motorcycle guy with a black bag.. maybe like 8-10 months back.
          as usual i was heading back home and these guys stop me . where they just wanted to see the bag. they checked- found nothing.
          before i could leave this guy asks me

          police : " wtf is that " (my balaclava ) while i was wearing it.
          me : i wear this for dust and pollution
          police : why is it black
          me : i am like "wtf" weird expression .
          police : stop: dont wear helmet. pulls out his flintstone age camera phone. click my pic and then shows me. " see this is how you look"
          me : how does it matter how i look in helmet ?
          police : enough. leave now

          i just kept wondering. wish i could just hit my steel toe on his head or probably just break his nose with all armored glove... "too many wishes" huh...

              Sounds like the classic case of uneducated cops schooling the educated lot.
              I had a similar experience a few years back. A cop pulled me over for routine document checking (their way of saying money collection for night party jugaad). So he asks me for my license and RC and i was carrying my originals (over cautious). He laughed at me and said only a fool carries his originals, what if they were lost.
              Well I saw logic in that so I got colour Xeroxes of my documents and put the originals at home.
              Two days later I was stopped again and this time I was fined for not carrying original documentation.
              This is the state of the law in this country and its all because of quota hiring instead of merit based selection.

                Take copies of your original docs (need not be colored) and get it stamped by any gazetted officer or a notary and you're good to go.

                  Thanx bro. This was a little over two years ago and I have already got the colour copy attested but what I was saying was that this is the level of competence of the cops in this country where they don't even know the law that they enforce. I think only proper bikers and drivers should be made traffic cops not some 12th pass fellow. What say?

                    There is a strange satisfaction when the cops catch you and you have all your documents. But sometimes they will try and fine you for any strange reasons once I was caught for going through knee deep waters in rainy seasons. Reason being: you are trying to attempt suicide.

                          Lol even I had the same experience when I was wearing the mask. The cop even warned me it's illegal to wear black masks and next time he catches me he would book a case against me. I was like wtf is wrong with these people. Bloody movies have made black masks the official uniform of thieves.

                            I have seen people wearing skeleton/skull on their faces.. nobody cares.. and when someone is doing for safety.. no skull or anything.. just normal balaclava.. the cops lose their minds..

                              Probably should have added that joker meme for extra effect with your post.
