Unfortunately some papers are not yet in complete fashion. Planning to get them done tomorrow and if done, I think I can make it.

You most probably would not have got the RC book (or SmartCard) - it takes about 45 days - I still haven't got mine, though it's just a month.

At the time of delivery, you would have received the delivery note and the insurance - that, I assume, would be enough

Thanx in advance.

Roads from Hotel Fountain till Virar is pretty much bad.Roads till Vapi are good. Can touch 130 easily.

But beware once yu cross Vapi, you would get loads uneven roads.

Another Accident

Had a freak accident today

I was going to TCS Borivali to meet my friend on her birthday. I picked up my other friend from JVLR junction and then started riding on Western Express Highway towards Borivali. Things were smooth until we hit the Kandivali Flyover. I was on the first lane and at the top there was a rickshaw lying half over divider and half on the first lane. It seems it was a fresh accident hence no barricades were put in. I was following a white Scorpio at 40-50kmph which was in turn behind a small car (i think old zen). The small car noticed the rickshaw too late and applied sudden brakes. The Scorpio guy it seems had noticed that auto before the small car in front of him (thanks to higher seating position) hence he was slowing down (arnd 30kmph) and so was I who was blindly following him. But the scorpio guy did not anticipate that the small car will stop so suddenly hence even he applied the brakes suddenly at around 30kmph. I had too little time to react, I applied both the brakes (front first followed by rear) and kept my handle straight instead of turning it and avoiding scorpio as there was too little distance left between us and I did not want to come under oncoming vehicles to my left (on the right there was divider hence no use turning there). Within 2 seconds of scorpio applying brakes, I bumped into its rear with around 20kmph head on. The front tyre took all the impact force tearing my mud guard and slightly bending my handle towards front. Also the headlight got a scratch. My head bumped on the rear window of the scorpio but the helmet saved me . The best part was the bike did not fall and I kept it straight even after the impact. My legs were touching the ground and my friend had firmly hold on to back handle so even he did not fly off. We both were standing straight with the bike in middle and thanking god that we did not fall off which would have further aggravated the situation. I just got small scratch on the leg which brushed on the leg rest with much force. Everything else was ok. I checked my disc brake, front tyre and rim, things looked fine. Only the mud guard had to be teared off to avoid it making contact with the tyre. I took the bike further to borivali TCS and checked again waiting for my friend to come. The handle had slightly moved in forward position which I think can be pulled back by loosening the screws and applying some force. I will take the bike to SVC tomorrow and get the new mud guard fixed with other check ups done.

The moral of the story is, some times accidents are totally unavoidable, what matters is LUCK and some skills to handle such situations. If I had turned the handle and applied brakes, mostly the bike would have skid and we both could have hit ground and gone under the scorpio or worse under the moving cars on the second lane which were passing by oblivious to our accident since it was confined to first lane only. Also my helmet saved the head from banging on the rear window directly.

Nope, infact he was kind enough to get down and approach us to know if we are fine. He checked his vehicle. There was a small dent on the rear crash guard and thats it, scorpio is too strong !! .... When I waived my hand and said its ok, he went back and started driving. The small car had disappeared from scene. The rickshaw was lying on the road as is.
