Thanks man for the concern. Actually have been riding through that highway since last more that two years & its really good road. Just dont know how the heck that bloody rock was lying on the road..!! Bloody Rock Dropper

good to hear that you are safe... but its amazing that your Tyre did not go flat... cuz the same kinda incident happened to me... n my tyre went flat the exact moment i hit the rock...

and the story behind the rock in the middle of the road... thanks to the truck/car/tempo guys who bring it in....

^Calvin, am assuming Rachits tyre are with tube! (or grossly oversized)

[razorBlades]

whoa rachit man! fortunate over there man! darn car wallas!

[rachitkohli]

dude take care, though the eastern express is good but you will always find surprises its because of the garbage dump truck that go to mulund, you will always find large stone, garbage fallen on the road

I know man. Was going happily to office in weekend mood, & damn this thing..!! Seriously this trucks walla are the most responsible people for dropping in this kind of stones & dirt on the highway, which is in a very good condition. Thanks man..!

Nah, am glad it didnt go flat. Infact this happened in morning & I noticed in night around 8pm. Didnt had any option than riding it that way as I realized late. Next day again came to thane & got it fixed.

^Calvin, am assuming Rachits tyre are with tube! (or grossly oversized)

Yes its with tube & not oversized. Size is same as stock one, but I have Dunlop tyre fitted.

whoa rachit man! fortunate over there man! darn car wallas!

Seriously man, this heavy vehicles, some are really jerks. They think, they rule the road. The moment I hit that stone, I was surely expecting a fall. But after missing the fall, I was happy & scared.. Mix feelings..!

Thanks biru bhaiya.. for the concern.
I payed 150 bucks happily to fix it. They do some heating process & get it back in shape.

2 days back: Was coming out of BARC at around 1:30 AM in the night, the road was damn clear (damn DARK though) so i started looking for potholes (common on that road) & stones, etc. Everything was CLEAR, I accelarated & as I looked-up.. here it was, a Bl**dy huge trailor, it suddenly came out from under the flyover,
exactly perpendicular with my Bike. HARD BRAKES, BIKE WOBBLED, BALLS in mah mouth, shit scared,

"Abb toh gaya Boss..." But...

JAAKO RAAKHE SAIYAAN MAAR SAKE NA KOI... Phew!

Bike came to normal & for next 15 minutes I dint dare go beyond 40 kmph. which i had never done before in mah entire life...

@Rachit: Glad you n your baby came out safe n sound

Good to hear both of you guys are safe... Almost hit a rock lying on the right side of the road on WE highway myself a couple of days back. Rocks placed around some car which met with an accident - guys who removed the car neglected to remove the rocks it seems. Us guys on two wheels need to be watchful of anything with more than 2 or zero wheels on the road nowdays I guess!

Had been to the PBK in Mumbai for some work. Got this brochure there..
They've mentioned bout xBhp in it..
Just thought of sharing with you people..

After 2k KMs covered, am now feeling confident enough to take my bike on a short trip outside the city, but would prefer not to do it alone. Anybody has some plans for a Saturday ride that I could join in on?
