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

really sorry to hear that. great to hear you are ok though. at times like these we realise that a good helmet is worth many times its cost.take care

**lijok** · 12-27-2011, 09:18 PM

Darn bull. Get well soon bro. I need to be careful....with bulls at least

**Rtrlover83** · 12-27-2011, 09:48 PM

@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.

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 too

Anyways, take care..get well soon! Time to invest on some riding gear eh ?

**krrishi** · 12-28-2011, 03:58 PM

@ 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

sure will get a LS2 next time , but the sad part is that the recovery will take atleast 1 week, so no biking till then.

Alpinestar as we all know is very expensive..apart from alpinestar i personally would suggest Rjays "octane", its a VFM jacket, fits snugly, the protection is also top notch..only dampener is the cost(around7k)you can do a google search for the details..
Apart from this the next best option is DSG Nero(5.5k), its waterproof & has a very gud protective unit, JK-17 from Scoyco(3.8k) has enjoyed great reviews all over& the protection, many say is better than DSG...
As far as a good helmet is concerned go for a Daijiya helmet anyday, looks good, protects even better..cost should be around 4-4.5k
