accident
just 2 hrs ago i was riding my joel'ed menace with pride and joy, but one bull got reall angry on the joel's ffe i suppose, i was riding at a constant speed of 70kmph on a bypass road, which is usually empty, suddenly a bull jumped onto my bike as if he was ready to kill me, i lost control, crashed into the bull, the bike slided and banged into a cement structure, headlight and housing gone, leg guard bent and a indicator gone too.
My both knees got bruised, right hand scratched badly, wrist has swelling and in this cold it even worsens, my head was saved due to my gliders helmet which took all the beating and got severe cracks, my back got saved even after 4-5 rolls on tarmac due to my reebok bag.
Will be visiting the svc as the bike is lying there, will have to claim the insurance too. Huh pretty bad experience

@Utkarsh
Scary stuff Bro. Glad that you are OK
Btw, get a new helmet when you ride again. Don't use the damaged one which has done it's duty well and is ready to retire. Next time up try AGV, LS2, Sparx and the like.The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

Damn! Good to hear that you're ok... I had a similar crash in Nov but it was a Doggie flying across a road divider. I was doing the same speed as you, and did not find time even to brake. I had similar injuries tooOriginally posted by UTKARSH STUNTY SHARMA View Postjust 2 hrs ago i was riding my joel'ed menace with pride and joy, but one bull got reall angry on the joel's ffe i suppose, i was riding at a constant speed of 70kmph on a bypass road, which is usually empty, suddenly a bull jumped onto my bike as if he was ready to kill me, i lost control, crashed into the bull, the bike slided and banged into a cement structure, headlight and housing gone, leg guard bent and a indicator gone too.

@ Utkarsh: I hope that bull is fine
, am sure it did not realize that another bull named "RTR" had banged into it
, nevertheless, get well soon buddy, have enough rest & try your best to invest in a proper branded helmet & an armoured jacket, even if it means burning a big hole in your pocket...get well soon..Ride safe
