But think of it this way.... He might have been speeding Because he might have been havin a clear straight highway ahead of him.... Who could have predicted a bus would take a sudden turn??

This is the condition everywhere.... C our auto brothers and private bus guys.... They do the wrong and harsh driving (Sharp turning without indication,sudden braking.... U name it....) and looks at us as if V drove rashly. They purposefully block an overtaking attempt even on a clear road and that too on medium speeds.. hav even seen bus drivers forcing overtaking vehicles to the opposite lane....
And last week I was comin home on my bike at 8 O clock night.At mulavana jn where there were no street lights, an on coming auto rickshaw took a sudden turn to my side.... Only god knows How I stopped my bike.... When I shouted at him he told.. He showed the hand signal.... What the F**K can I tell to a guy who says Hand signaling is visible @ night???? What the heck is happenning here??

Hav read an article somewhere ...I think in BI. about driving on indian roads as experienced by a foreign tourer or something.... He described driving on indian roads is more like going for a war. Only god knows if we will return....

Also came to kno he kept a thread abt his 'Busa. Couldnt find it. Any idea where it is?

He was on full riding gear including his suzuki jackets n still he succumbed ...he wouldnt have lost his life if he was on his P200 as planned earlier(read in Hyd g2g thread).. Btw doesnt busa have ABS n all? but then how the hell did the bike skid n went under the bus?!

wait for tomorrow's news...you can see what the reports might be like:- rash youth on superbike killed in an accident!!

Even we had a couple of incidents on our rides where arun n balaji did small offroadings due to the driving style of Ksrtc buses!!luckily nothing happened to anybody during those times..

I Dont think Busa got ABS... But still.... going in 3 digit speed and seeing a totally unexpected obstacle right in front of u All of a sudden and from nowhere.. Its hard to cope up with. The sudden shock along with confusion of what to do will always result in slamming the brake.... If I were in his situation I would hav done the same.... I dont think an even ABS can handle that situation!

Very much true.... C how his fellow riders described the press reporters at the scene.... Dont these guys hav any feelings in them.... They could clearly make out the shock in his friends and still they were all over them aksin all sorts of questions.. I bet some would hav even tried for an exclusive and first on air "Feelings about my friend" story from his friends....

R.I.P Kriss... what a sad!!!

guys! me going for a new helmet....where can i find a good 1 in our city....my budget is around 3k....i prefer cross....is there any other place other than suraj's where i can chek out some???

Remi i bought my MPA AGV from Amba automobiles thakaraparambu, i costs 2800 Rs/- here for a tinted one... and there is another one for 3700Rs/-, the company is "SM1" which they says an imported one, the quality is good, the only prob for an AGV is its weight, but u won't feel on wearing it... my choice is go for an AGV or else try a KBC one in bangalore or any...

[nottyboy]
