    use horns generously in blind corners/places where opposing traffic can't see you. Although noise is irritating and may sound uncivilised but only sound travels around blind corners.

    I don't mind annoying civilised people with noise for I care for the other kind more.

      I was returning back to home from Lavasa after my breakfast run and i was speeding around 60-65kmph () and in a corner a car from nowhere came in my lane like literally infront of me and I had no room to stay in my lane so to avoid head on collision i steered to right lane and lost control of my bike and ended up in gutter. Because of riding gears i was unscathed. Helmet ,boot and riding pant(leather) saved me big time. Sharing this because Please dont compromise on riding gears and don't speed on downhill.

      Damages:
      1. Scratches on both sides of the fairing.
      2. Cracked rear view mirror (Head banged on the mirror)
      3. Both rear and front brakes not working properly.


      PS - No damages to Brake and Gear lever. can you believe it ??
      Take care and ride safe!
      Lavasa has become too dangerous now, the cars speed like anything and when accidents happen, we bikers are blamed.. Did the car owner stop? Or did he run?
      How did you save the levers lol[emoji14]

              Ouch, that looks scary! Take care brother.
              The bike mainly has only cosmetic damages and that can easily be repaired.
              Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

Always on headlamp helps as people were giving way without honking same from upcoming, felt like boss :P also people started hand gesture to turn off my head light, at some point I felt awkward as people thought I was show off.
