yup I got to know . but it gives a very wrong picture to the public that we ride very fast and risking lives (including ourselves) .

It also states that they/we wear protective suits and stuff which will save our lives. One should understand that a suit is protective gear for potential crashes but if u ride like a "chu" then its just a body bag.

crashing at 160 on a track is different and a suit/riding gear will save u. even the best of ur suit will not protect u if u crash into a boulder or divider or other vehicles at 160.

Protective gear can protect only to a certain level.

I had seen a guy crash at 15 kmph. He was wearing all protective gear like, helmet, riding jacket, gloves, riding boots. He slid because of sand on road and hit a boulder at around 10-15 kmph. Even his Ninja's fairing is not cracked. But his shoulder rotator bowl is fractured in 4 pieces & was suggested rotator bowl replacement.

I never knew that you can face fractured bones at so low speeds.

Most imp thing to have while riding in the city are probably not the gears or helmets .. but rather a cool n calm head ...!!!!

^They are complimentary in nature and not Supplementary.
Having gears wont save you, neither would a cool and calm head in isolation.

Like they say, Prepare for the worst, Hope for the best, Gracefully accept whatever comes in your way!

A small query from my side,
What happens if you downshift during a corner but yet having your brakes applied a bit. Will the bike slip?
I have done this before but yes lost time in taking a corner...
I prefer downshifting a gear or so instead of braking....This happens when entering a corner, Iam not that fast but my mind says i need to reduce, iam in powerband though...

Overall, when 90% of the corner is complete the bike has to be redlined to achieve high speed, and this consumes lot of time and energy too, lots of RPMS are wasted....
Lean angle is ok types, but if you see a another rider with same dynamics as mine, he would be ahead....
Its not the fear but tried it couple of times but is not able to hit the bullseye during this operation.

EDIT - Iam talking in regards to a Pulsar 180 and not a SBK.
I own this one at the moment.

i don't think you should try to learn cornering on forums. One wrong advice from a tom dick harry like myself and yourself may cost you a lot on the streets. Learn about cornering in person when you have a bike standing aside just in case you need a demo in rider inputs mid corner. Best way to do this is at chennai at css !

Any updates

Hey Guys, I finally finished my exams

I'd be coming to pune from bhopal on 29th this month,I plan to take the NH3 from indore to nashik then Nh-50, any updates on these highways regarding their condition.??

heard about a lot of diversions on NH-3 near nashik.

[shrinathrao]

Instead of putting all those hypothetical questions on thread, why don't you ask them during our G2Gs? Nav75 and Niks both were present in last one. Why not get your query answered there & then?

Sirji, I came and you disappeared. So it slipped out. And everyone knows you are a big supporter of noobs like me.
