The Official Bangalore Offline Meet (G2G) Thread

Zen Motors is reportedly very good. It is located in Basavanagudi area IIRC.

Thanks aditya.. I have been there. They are good, but I find their timings a little too restrictive. Will go there if nothing else is around.

Zen Motors is good, but if you find their timing too restrictive you could go to Top Gears in Tata Silk Farm, meet Mr. Harsha there, he is good too.

Helmet Awareness Ride !

Bangalore, 06 April 2011: Bangalore has nearly 25 lakh two-wheelers and only half of the riders wear proper helmets. Besides, only 10 per cent of pillion riders wear helmets. Though the helmet laws were notified in Karnataka in 2006 and knowledge levels are high, helmet use remains far from satisfactory.

These facts have been brought out in a study on “Road safety in India: a framework in action” by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore. NIMHANS along with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion conducted a research on road accidents and traffic deaths in Bangalore and came up with several unusual facts.

The study said though a majority of the two-wheeler riders wear helmets in Bangalore , only half of them use proper helmets. The study says properly worn helmets can prevent head injuries and even death. The study says that only 55.6 per cent of all two-wheeler wear full-faced helmets, 32.9 per cent wear half-head helmet and 11.5 per cent half-face helmet.

Calling for stricter enforcement of the helmet law, the study pioneered by G. Gururaj of the Department of Epidemiology, NIMHANS, says data from Hyderabad and Pune too support the findings. It says proper helmets protect users from brain injury related deaths, serious injuries, skull fractures and neurological disabilities.
