long post incoming ..

 

just survived through my first major bike accident ..

 

Right foot some bone hairline fracture.

today i truly understand the extend of protection a helmet provides ..

it saved my life .. my head whip-lashed on the road .. the helmet took it like a man

guys wear a helmet ALWAYS man ... ALWAYS

at first there was no or negligible pain ..

some guys took me to a hospital .. it took like 30 seconds just across the road

then doctor said the adrenaline will wear of soon .. i was like whatever ... 1-2 mins later ... :cry:

then some 2 injections later .. pain receeded ..

then for 5 mins was freaking bored to death .. and pain was like fluctuating .. then i just looked up .. boom hot nurses everywhere rest 1 hr was like heaven ... there was a nurse that was so cute .. boderline pedophilic to even look at her ..

 

6 weeks recovery ... :wallbash:

also almost fainted .. man never fainted like ever ... :(

 

my first fracture .. :smokey:

 

PS: in the hospital bed i was checking if my fingers were fine ... doctor said your fingers are fine your leg is kinda screwed (in his words) . i was like i know .. was checking if could play games during my recovery time at home :harhar: ... he was like seriosly wtf ... :huh:

good to know nothing major happen...dont take this lightly though...be safe as much as possible buy the best protection for yourself..hope you recover soon .God bless.

Now, an 'invisible' Toyota Prius

Using optical camouflage technology, researchers at Keio University showed off a ‘see-through Toyota Prius’ that renders the back seat invisible. This would allow the driver to see exactly what is behind the vehicle, rather than relying on the rear view camera that doesn’t really offer a full field-of-view. The technology basically captures footage from behind the object and projects the background onto the seat. It’s quite similar to the technology Mercedes-Benz used on its invisible F-Cell. Earlier this year, Mercedez Benz had figured out how to make an entire car disappear using the same technology.

made a video out of my daily commute to work :P

Absolutely hate it when some 1 tries to ride the bike in the same manner as you did. Nowadays, when i am stuck in a jam ( especially when i am on the side of the road) i consciously try to block the narrow path which the smartass bikers try to take.

Seriously man? You're proud of that sh*t you call driving?

Drive one day in a car. You'll know how pissing off bike guys who drive like this get you.

 

And I'm sure you're the type who turns on the inside when a car takes a left turn?

I have lost my side mirrors 2wice to these fools, in my early days of driving. Almost got beaten up once for no fault of my own, coz a moron biker in front of me decided to take a right turn from extreme left lane and when i braked hard, it caused a small pile up of 2-3 cars behind me. Had many small side scrapes to the car coz of them.

When i think about it, these stupid bikers are the reason why i still dont use the side mirrors, it has become a habit now.

On the topic of side mirrors..I lost my driver side one while reversing from a tight area.I just didnt look at it.Now I am much careful when it comes to side mirrors.I dont even open my left side one in fear of losing it.

So we bought an Ertiga... It was between the ertiga and innova for a new family car. The only thing going for Innova was the god like comfort while sitting in the car while the ertiga had good average, decent city driving and a 6 lakh lower price tag.

 

Good car, satisfied with it. Decent engine, great pick up at 30-40 kms level. It aint a beast but wont slouch in the highways.

I like the car, its a good VFM, i dont know why people hate it. If i were to buy a family car, it would be my 1st choice.

Congo bro.....pics pics pics :D

 

On topic of side mirrors, I always have both my mirrors opened. No fear of riders. The good thing about my mirrors is that they fold bith ways, and have no side paint coat. Just a matte finish. You guys should consider mirrors like these too IMO. Once a rider hit the mirror. All I had to do was park in a vacant space and reallign the mirror folded in the opposite direction.

Yeah, but this is a recent trend, those were not offered in the earlier cars. And stop showing off your car, ok, bye.

Imo, I feel blind if the left rear mirror is folded. And I know the bikers are nitwits, but pleasent keep the mirrors open. They'll save you from more scratches.

 

And DA, both sides folding mirrors ftw! I too got em. Show off! :P

Rear mirrors and side mirrors are different things Hanna :P I use side mirrors only for highways and sometimes while parking in reverse in a tight spot. When using side mirror in combination with rear view mirror for parking in reverse in tight spots, you won't even have turn around and look back even once.
