What Azharuddin's Son's Death Taught Us
www.drivespark.com takes a closer look at how such accidents can be avoided. Superbikes are being sold at increasingly high numbers recently. However the number of accidents involving such bikes are also on the rise. The recent accident involving former cricketer Azharuddin's son highlights the need to understand the necessity of superbikes on Indian roads.
These Super bikes are designed to reach speeds of over 300 kilometres per hour but the Indian roads do not support such speeds. Further one needs to have sufficient skills and experience to handle super bikes. It is essential that authorities enforce licensing for drivers of super bikes.
Here are some tips that super bike drivers can follow to ensure a safe yet exciting ride
Superbikes are special machines and are not your regular bike. Just understanding this fact will ensure you are extra carefuil while handling them.
Superbikes are designed to achieve high speeds but only on properly built roads. If you happen to travel on rough or damaged roads, drive at low speeds. A skid or a bump on such roads at high speeds will be fatal.
One should always understand when you can ride your bike at high speeds. Roads tend to be more skiddy just after the season's first rains.
Always use protective gear while riding a super bike. Although a helmet is sufficient while driving a regular motor cycle, it is imperative that you have a proper helmet, knee guards and gloves while driving a superbike.
Properly check all the brakes, fluids and electricals are working fine before you start your drive. A missed brake or a loose nut can turn out to be serious mistake.
Superbikes are designed usually to carry one person. Have a pillion driver only for short drives as there will be a weight imbalance with a person behind you. If you happen to have a pillion rider, do ensure that he/she has all safety equipment.
Driving at high speeds is a skill that one needs to acquire by practice. Always prefer to be safe rather than sorry while driving a superbike.
Your mental state is a very important factor that will ensure a safe drive. You should not drive if you feel lazy or are unable to concentrate.
