This happens everyday and there is no escape from it. I have many time had teenagers circle my bike looking all around, going back and forth etc. What I do isOriginally posted by Brat View Post
1. fold the RVM's so that my concentration doesn't go on them while they are behind/side of me. (Believe me this has helped me greatly)
2. Zoom if i get a chance of open road ahead.
Slowing down can be done, but how many times can we do it is the thing. By continuously doing that I will be ending up heating my bike more than usual and burning my thighs for the ample distance still left to reach my home.
Coming back to what happened, on one such incident I stopped my bike on the side of the road and let the guys pass me and go. They stopped ahead for some seconds and they left. I then started peacefully. These guys were in 4 bikes continuously going zig-zag, turning back, trying stunts and all sorts of non-sense around me.. But I am not sure whether everytime I'll do the same..Leave a comment:

Dont Buy Pretty Bikes
Another good reason to buy the GTN. Nobody can make out its a nice bike until they are really close, and by then its too late to take out the camera
But yes, I have had this one instance in which a middle aged guy (like me) was actually running over my leg on his Hero Honda CD100 while looking at my bike at a red light. It was funny coz we were almost at standstill and he is like nudging my leg with the front wheel of his bike all the while staring at the rear tyre or rear panel of my bike.
I have had only once instance of "racing" which didn't end well for the other guy even though I had slowed down and moved to the extreme right side of the road allowing him to pass.
But in instances when there is a nice clear road ahead, I would rather shoot ahead and disappear than slow down and let him pass.Leave a comment:

I dont accelerate away because they feel challenged. Its better to slow down and diffuse the situation. Wish there was something we could do in such situations other than ignore it. Was just thinking, maybe if i did something differently, could've prevented this boy from getting hurt.Leave a comment:

How many times will you do this? What if everyday you encounter such people.Originally posted by Eshan-P180 View Post
That's one thing which can't be avoided BinoyOriginally posted by Binoy View PostNote the point inder-ji - Pothole filled roads
But, to an extent we can still have a lead over that guy.
Not necessarily, that purely depends on one's riding skills, which one gets over time.Originally posted by nagoo View Post

That's just a myth... My elder bro's friend who ALWAYS rides his bike without wearing a helmet had 3 accidents in his life and one of it was really severe which took almost 1 month to recover from blood clot in his head and issues in remembering things etc. Even after these incidents he still rides his bike HELMETLESS. There are many people who don't learn from these even in the hard way. May this chap learn from his mistakes.Originally posted by vijith.unnithan View Post

Always slow down to the side of the ride, dont initiate a conversation ofcourse. No need to look at him either, may be you can adjust your gears and check again. Till then he would be done and then get back on track...
Also before stopping check for whom you stopping for, not any tom dick and harry, know the crowd and location, if its not feasible then slow down and keep riding. There is nothing much you can do, the more you run they will try keeping up with you...
Or else ride at zoom passing speeds where they cant catch you but be in speeds limits and observe traffic rules.Leave a comment:
