As I write this log,I am suffering from pain on both my hands,my right leg and left back .it is completely chafed.If I had not worn my helmet,may be some one else would have been writing my eulogy now.There is only one chip on the helmet and if my bare head would have been there,it would have been a catastrophe for me.
I thank God for giving me a life to live again.This is a second by second description of my encounter ( understanding the close texture of the asphalt) with out hype.I was riding my bike behind a lorry in the GST road near chrompet.out of no f*** place comes this auto between me and the lorry.This guy was trying to cross the road from the opposite lane.Trying to avoid him,I moved left,but to no avail,that guy also moved fast and bang hit the front of the auto from his left.I slid along with my bike and was thrown like 18 to 20 meters with my bike from the point of collision.
The next thing I knew was,I was standing up and shouting at the guy as to,where the heck did he come from?
The the real pain hit me,when most of them came and looked my helmet and said,that I should have been a goner.They did not expect me to wake up from the road after a collision like that.The Helmet saved my head.
After all the argument,nothing panned out,anyway I was in pain,just parked my bike on the side of the road,took an auto and reached home.
Damages on both side:
Auto: A dent on the left side.
Broken headlight.
Would you believe,it he was asking for me to pay up for the headlight.
He should be happy that I did not press charges...
My Bike:
My leg guard is pasted to the engine on the right and left side is
looking towards the right
The rear brake came lose from its fixure and is completely twisted as
heap of rubber.
My side mirrors are not there.
The leg rests on both sides are like below the bike
Ofcourse one or two indicators dunnot for sure are missing.
Handlebar looks like it went to a rave party.
The chasis to hold the leg rest is broken into two on impact,you could
see the actual place of stress.
other cosmetics damages are again in this huge list.
I think,once the mechanic has a look at it,I would know,the price that I would have to shell out.Have to check with insurance company,if they would cover this without a FIR.
I think ,this is a small price that I have to pay for being a speedster.But I have not yet started to enjoy life.... :(
U could be wondering,then why am I writing this now,shouldn't I be in bed.Yeah,even my mom is saying that,but I have kill time and do something that help me to forget the pain.This does......
Anyway my advice to you,wear a helmet,it might not save your bike,but it would save your life!!Even though I did maneuver my bike correctly to avoid the collision,it was just not enough,else I would be writing about some other topic.
The only fact that haunts me now his:What would have happened,if I did not wear an helmet? It sends shiver down my spine,even to think about that.
