We are all passionate about riding, and sometimes its easy to loose sight of the risk we take and the perils of our consuming passion.

 

Ride safe everyone.

I just finished the whole story.

We should learn from her lesson, always be prepared for anything to happen.

 

Ride safely, don't speed.

Hoah bro,

thats one helluva wake up call kinda story dude.

 

But its true. I always tell myself dat each time i sit astride any two wheels be it a damn slowest 2 wheels in the world, im take a big risk of my life. 90% risk.

Now wat if i move off at 80km/hr?95% risk

 

100km/hr? or above 100? wats the risk %?

 

dats life as a 2wheeler. dare to risk but dun be stupid! wear proper protection dude. risk level wil be slightly reduce tho. just slightly.

 

Have u guys seen this banner by the roadside?

SPEED IS THE No. 1 ROAD KILLER!

Familiar?

 

Pls comment if u dun agree?

 

Me dun understand why some riders can wear japanese slippers riding. Speeding some more on KR/NSR etc etc...........!??

 

Learn to ride safe.

I didn't expect her to fall off the bike just like that. When I was on my friend's GSXR 1100, I held on to him hard! I can imagine the torque of the 750 to be lower, but it's still forceful enough.

If she was on the old SRAD 750 then it's no wonder as its power is similar to current day GSXR 1000.

Agree, protection gear will only reduce the risk slightly. It's still the rider who can control the safety.

 

From below link, you can tell the protect gear won't help at all if you play with speed on a normal traffic road. Other road users can slash you into pieces.

High speed won't kill you if you put safety in mind first.

Speed up if necessary and safe.

 

Anyway, the faster you go, the higher risk you take. So make sure you are still in control. It's all up to the Rider!

 

Ride safe everyone.

ouch , that really hurts .... always seen a few sport bikers wearing shorts and slippers ,maybe they should read this ....

Actually, protective gear does not reduce the risk AT ALL. It only limits the amount of damage you may suffer when an accident occurs... as illustrated by the photos linked in the above post.

 

The only thing that will reduce risk is to practise defensive riding, take extra care to look out for other road users, and ride sensibly and within your limits.
