    The above post should stay as a reminder to all. Imo.

    See the point is, having a proper riding gear helps you from a lot of things, being run over by a bus isn't one of them; which seems to be the case here.

      Sir,
      Bike is not RC its duke 390. But yes its important to have riding gears on. It's simple common sense because nothing is precious than one's life.

          Yes third pic is of RC but its of different accident because I have seen front view pic of this accident in fb. And that pic is also shared in xbhp thread also. Check 24th page of this thread. You can clearly see its duke 390.

            Duke 390 under the bus, media showing RC's pic in the news. Thats how our great media circus works. Bend the news for the so called TRP.

            Man lying injured, people got time to take pictures but no time to give him first aid. Hail India .

              Hence my point 'sensibility', I see guy's riding like full on idiots on a daily basis, I have no idea what happened there, but it should serve as a lesson to all of us.

              Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
              More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
              Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
              Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
              Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                The bike is still in front of the front tyre, so there's still hope the guy survived, and sustained injuries only due to falling down from the bike...
                Let's hope for the best.


                MODERATOR MESSAGE:
                @Ajay.vinod: Bro, while your post's image serves as a heads-up for most people, it has been mod-reported as "too disturbing" due to its graphic nature. I partially agree with the report as generally, people follow the Black & white pic rule when showing a blood-ridden photo.

                However, unusually this time, I leave the final decision to you...
                If you delete the concerned image from your post, I will remove them from quotes, then ensuring that other members don't see the disturbing image anymore. Otherwise, you can let it be... Take a decision as per your judgment, and let me know about it. Thanks.

                  Guys don't remove the tyre hugger from rc390.. In monsoon it sprays like hell.. Mud comes and falls on the rear seat.. Had an first hand experience just now.. And keeping the bike clean is tough because of the edges of the bike. Mostly have to use water jet to clean.. I removed the tyre hugger for the look.. But during monsoon you should leave it back.. The tyres dont skid at all.. Gives you that confidence in corners during rain.. Rc's stability at corners are praise worthy!!! Not much of a knee down rider still but you can easily learn to be one in the rc.. ;-)

                    Man it sprays with the tyre hugger as well though a lot less. What I mean is the ktm bikes, none of them are monsoon bikes. In fact these are only for those who don't mind a little dirt and mud (Moto cross riders).
                    The Rc was made for hard lean cornering. So glad you're enjoying it.
                    However keep those burnouts in check, those metzelers last 8-10k at best.

                      Hahaha thanks balgi.. Too excited with this bike.. And bro your advice really worked about the fuel economy.. I'm getting 25 kmpl (brim to reserve) anything above 20 I'm happy.. gear shifts are smoothing down too.. I can feel it.. And no burnouts in the near future.. I will wait for that when it's time to replace the tires.. Happy riding man ;-)

                          Wait which showroom? Hyderabad or Kolkata? If Hyderabad, then here deliveries have started man. Its been a while too. Also don't call these guys, just go to the showroom once every three days or so and pester them. Sometimes they push your delivery back if you don't visit frequently and demand it personally.

                            Ha ha ! Got stuck in the rain this afternoon eh? Me too! My jeans was soaked by the time I reached office, but had a huge smile on my face!
                            +1 to the comments about the tyre! Worth every penny IMO!

                                oh your post reminded me of changing my current place of stay. i am in ludhiana right now.
                                yes i do call up the showroom guy. he seems nice though. but consignments here are small. the first lot is delivered. mine would be in the second as per the showroom. lets see when it gets dispatched.
