I would like to share a few tips on biking that I have learned over the years from experiance. Sorry for the typos and grammar in advance.. hah.
I won't advise you to limit the speed because I never go slow as long as it's a deserted road (coz I dont want to kill anybody). Remeber a few things before you start talking to the wind.
PROTECT YOUR FACE FROM THE FALL:
First and foremost ... Remember all those crashes you have seen so far. Most of them gets a scar on their face. No matter if its just a skid. The scar looks very ugly when it gets healed. It leaves a dark and deep mark on your face which can only be fixed by a plastic surgery (and which is very costly). Yes... You got my point...a full masked hellmet is a must to avoid the pain and the hardships for you and your relatives in the hospital.
The joints that attaches our jaws to the scull is very delicate. A slightest hit can dislocate it. Yess.. even a 10 year old boy's simple punch can dislocate it (no matter if you are an Arnold). You will be very fortunate if your chin won't hit the ground in a crash. I wish nobody suffers this. The pain is severe. You cannot eat anything for 3 to 4 months. You can have only liquid food through the tube. You cannot even talk. A full masked helmet can avoid this (It's not just a simple thing... it's 4 months' all day and all night long pain) too.
It protects the teeth too. Imagine yourself smiling without the 4 teeth in the front row on your first date. ha ha... I cannot stop laughing. Even your girl friend may not be able to hide her laugh.
And last but not the least... A helmet can save you from going to a comma stage. You dont want your mother to clean up your shit and butt even after you have grown up.
BACK PAIN:
Several guys complain about backpain while riding. Do you ever lift your back while crossing a hump or in a pothole? It's a must. Whenever there is pothole remember to lift your back from the seat and hold the handle tight. This will not only avoid the back pain but also give you great control and will avoid a crash.
IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC:
Hold the handle very loose if you are riding very slowly in the heavy traffic. It will keep the bike steady.
OVER TAKING:
This is what I like most while I'm riding. But remember these tips. First of all... it's a life and death situation. So there is no scop for error in your decision. Be aware of your speed, speed of the vehicle infront of you and the oncoming vehicle. It's very difficult to calculate the speed of the vehicles coming form the opposite direction. Avoid risky overtakings in the night. I repeat.. do not overtake in the night. If our speed is above 60 kmph our eyes cannot get the view of some of the things on the road (potholes, cattles or children etc). Don't expect other drives slowdown for you. Most of them are not in a good mood. Especially truck drivers. They are driving for several hours in the hot and humid condions, away from their family. They are rugged by the treatment of the police, other drives (like me..hah) , crashes and the deadbodys.
In an overtaking process if you are unsure about the climax. DO NOT ACCELERATE. YOU WILL NEVER SURVIVE. Dont hesitate. Apply breaks. (NO EGOs here...we need to live many more years). Just slowdown. Atleast you can reduce the impact of the collision. This saved my life several times in the highways. We men have this ugly feeling of Ego which leads us to death.
WITH THE GIRLFRIEND:
Most of the girls dont like speeidng (eventhough they dont admit it). Ask them about their comfortable speed before going for a long drive. Avoid taking risk because it may spoil the date and it doesn't worth the risk either. Speed will not prove that you are a superman. They hate sudden acceleration and braking (but I know you guys like braking very much...hah). You will be known as a bad rider after such a ride. Avoid night outs in bike. It's very important. Gangs may take everything from you (your girl, money and bike). You cannot fight with 10 guys at a time. It happens everywhere but the news dont come out as the girl hides everything happened to her. I know an incident happend in Bangalore.
GIVE RESPECT AND TAKE RESPECT
Please avoid harrasing lady riders/drivers. It doesn't yield anything, does it?. I'm referring to our mischiefs such as riding so close to them or overtaking them and applying sudden brakes infront of them. It may appear funny to us but it makes them very tensed. They may end up in an accident in the confusion. You dont want to be a killer... right? One more thing is that... Who knows if this lady is assosiated with the girl that you are eyeing. In that case... oh boy... you are dead.. ha ha.
