Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Bhai u didnt mention anything abt this on FB ha..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

[MENTION=27501]rreneav1987[/MENTION] Thats some damage but nonetheless rider`s life is most precious , How are you now and were those Pro-biker gloves you were using ? . Did they provide ample protection . Just asking coz me and my friends use it . Very nice to know nothing serious happened to you. Take care and keep updating .

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

lol.. I haven't said this to my parents.. else my biking life is over.. so better to keep it to myself and share the experience with other bikers so that they don't do the same silly mistake I did..

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

yes.. they are Pro-Biker gloves and they provide good protection as the first part that came to hit the road was my palm and my palm is just fine.. like I said.. not a single scratch.. My Gloves and my Black Pearl Took all the damage..

thank you for your concern guys..

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Yes in that case it is VFM , i too had a fall few months ago . Nothing serious since xtreme doesnt have fairing but exhaust cover was too crushed . Happens mate best thing is you are completely fine

@rreneav1987
Glad that you are safe. Your bike took all the beating and protected you, unlike some manufacturers- I feel that hero does not compromise on the rider's safety in the name of styling.

I happen to travel on single lane district highways quite frequently so I am sharing my experience.
The correct way to overtake any lorry/truck/bus/heavy-vehicle is to overtake from the right side and to maintain sufficient distance and not tailgate, this way you will have a better field of view of the oncoming traffic as we will be using the opposite lane momentarily during overtaking.
While most people get too close(tailgate) to the vehicle they are overtaking, maintaining sufficient distance is actually much safer and also easier.
Also never overtake a vehicle along with another vehicle. I have seen this many times, one car/bike following another car/bike while overtaking a heavy vehicle blindly and dangerously.

In short- If you get too close to the vehicle that you want to overtake, close the throttle, let the distance between you and the vehicle ahead increase, check for oncoming traffic, open the throttle and overtake from right side.

Most of the truckers in AP respond to horn and indicate whether it is safe to overtake or not by giving hand signal.

On a multi-lane highway where slow moving vehicles are on the right most lane(fast lane)-
Sound your horn and see whether he moves to the left lane or gives any indication. If he does not then wait for more than 10secs(because the vehicle in front of you can abruptly change the lane if he decides to), increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead (almost double(or even triple) the distance what you would have maintained while overtaking from the right side ) This is because you will need much more field of view and check for any slow/broken-down/parked vehicles that might obstruct your overtaking maneuver. If everything is clear then only overtake from the left. Please note that overtaking from left is very dangerous and should be almost considered as a taboo.

Don't ask me how many times I have seen bikers being pushed out of the highways by the truckers.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Damn [MENTION=27501]rreneav1987[/MENTION]. You looked happy on FB. Never knew this part of the story.

Re: Hero Honda Karizma ZMR

Yes.. absolutely correct.. but my concern after that was.. thank God nothing like that happened to my friends.. if it had happened with my pal who was taking the lead then all the three of us would have ended up crashing and God knows what would have happened after that..

Also i guess these were bad indications of what could have happened on our way to Manali..

Lesson learnt from my silly mistake and will never make that mistake again..
