My very first accident on 19th April, the day after Sri Rama Navami:
Ok first of all all you guyz who ride the bikes -
take my advice - wear a frigging helmet.
It saved the day for me. Those of you who think the
helmets are not cool enough - get this.
It will not be cool anyways when you are hurt and
end up in a vegetative state.
Ok this is the end result of the incident - my
Pulsar 150 is in a bad shape, the front rim
is bent and the bike wobbles a lot. The bike is a
pathetic thing when it comes to tight
corners and today I had a bad day with it.
Well the strange thing is that I never had a problem
when I travelled fast, but slow!!
The history:
I was already in a sleepy state on this day and was
contemplating whether to stay back or
not. Well I took a nap at Ashish's place and thought
I was in a better state. So
at around 0005 hrs or so I started off for home.
However just before the Indo-American Cancer
hospital, I was feeling drowsy and bad luck
there was a ditch just there near the footpath. Next
minute I was doing Dr. Kiran's
rag-doll simulation. In the air I was - its a bird,
its a plane, no its a frigging accident.
As of now the state is - my right side - elbow
scratched out of skin (1.5 inches), right
palm around 0.25 inches on two spots, and a small
scratch on the left foot.
What is MOST important is that there was impact on
the helmet. Had I NOT been wearing the
helmet, I would have been (worst case) in Tartarus,
Gehanna, Sheol - Inferno and my dear
manager would have to start hunting for a new guy.
The results and conclusions:
(for those who can relate to the statement "75 concerns" (TM))
I cannot tell you the importance of this - WEAR A
FRIGGING HELMET!!
My helmet is genuine. :D
Hyderabad roads SUCK!!
Drunken driving is as dangerous as sleepy driving.
Pulsar balance sux!! Go for Unicorn. It has a better
control on turnings.
Nobody can counter this - you did
not go thru what I did today.
I do not ride well.
I think I was laughing when I had this accident.
Strange.
I have to find a way to cough up 2K (atleast).
I am coming after the R&&B dept now. Thank
you for the great roads.
Oh yeah - accidents are NOT cool. If I gave you that
impression in anyway.
