Great Link

Heck of a link to your website. I've ridden bikes all my life, starting with a Suzuki 50cc moped decades ago, currently have 2 - a crotch-rocket Yamaha FZ1000 and a Kawasaki Concours - but due to non-motorbike related surgery haven't ridden for 2 months.

You make me jealous ! But I don't think I'll EVER ride in India. I just don't know how you handle the traffic, I don't think I'll ever be able to, and the risk on a bike in an accident ! - well you know.. - "You are a better man than me"


I'll register with your website and learn more things there. I liked it that the website discusses the use of a helmet early on, non-hysterically or in-your-face but just practically. Its really the one long term way to get people to listen.

Thanks Skk...

Riding a motorcycle in India is not that bad, first time when I got my friends over from Poland and they rode their bikes in India... It was a mess but then in just a couple of days they learned ... I guess no one would be able to learn how to ride in other countries straight on but yes... you will eventually.

About awareness : Helmets topic is one of the oldest but made it as a sticky for people to read and learn from it. It doesnt matter if you are a registered user or not, all that matters in if you learn from each others experience. Simple solution, great outcome ...

Cheers !
