Had a meet Mr.Accident y'day night.

A bike guy came from the road in left, without any light in bike, and to my bad luck i didn't notice him coming, he hit my front wheel and he managed to speed away, but i lost balance after applying the brake and fell down. First thing which hit on the road was my chin area in the helmet, i still can't forget the impact it casused (due to the shock my lips got screwed by the teeth). Apart from that there are very few minor scracthes in my hand and in the right knee. Nothing happened to the bike except for the leg guard which was totally bent by 90c. Oh and i was speeding at 40~50kmph only.

Ok enough of the story.

If not for the helmet i can't imagine what would have happened, it was a really bad fall. The helmet was barely 2 weeks old, don't think my old helmet would have handled it. Got it for Rs.2500. Thank god for making me buy a good helmet. Second thing which happened was, i was thinking of buying a new gloves from dollars and pounds for past one month after loosing my old one, only y'day morning i was telling that to bottle while passing that store by the car. Had i bought that, i would have avoided the injuries in my hand .

Ok enough of rants

What i want to knows, is there any soul in FE or anyone who knows

1.Doesn't have a helmet
2.Use it to protect their helmet lock instead of his head.
3. Have that new type of helmet which doesn't have protection in the chin area.

If i had that helmet mentioned in the 3rd point, i would have been screwed y'day.

I would like to tell my fellow FE members to wear a helmet which is good in quality and protection instead of wearing it to avoid fines or thinking that you'll loose your hair(for girls). I would also request even the pillion rider to wear a helmet.
