I am not 18 yet. You know that and yes I will keep ranting about it!
I do not have a drivers license. Not even a learning license. Now you know and yes I shall rant about this again.
Yesterday I took my khatarra bike out, Kinetic Honda. My folks being the paranoid beings that they are, thought otherwise about the idea of Me+bike+Mad.ras roads/traffic-License!
So this is how I took the bike out.
*tring tring* [Call my mother at work]
Me: Hi ma... Can I take the bike to the station today? Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.
Ma: No da... you know the roads [blah blah blah]
Me: I promise, Ill take the helmet and I promise I won't speed. Please. Please. Pleeeeeeeease.
Ma: [Starts speaking in a tone that borders on hysteria and irritation] See you do this all the time and I am not even there to stop you...[blah blah blah].
Me: Okay thanks ma! Bye. :)
Done. Muhahahaha. But her hysteria gets to me! Uh!
I take the bike to station the first time. Its all good. Its all very good. Except that the helmet really is irritating.
Helmet: Pro's
IF you have an accident, it will help[doubtful] in protecting your physical cranial matter. Grey or white. Humbug.
The black Ninja ones look Dhoom 5 type. :)
Helmet: Con's
Okay this has taken me days of experience and experiments.
1. Loss of perspective. Not that perspective, the view one. :D
Well with the helmet on... I get a very very icky feeling of my 270 degrees vision being impaired. The intuitions of vehicles behind you, just don't "appear/visualise" in my mind. [The khatarra bike has no rear view mirror!]
2. My scalp becomes all sweaty. Its a terrible feeling. Its a feeling of being under constant tension.
3. My oh-so paranoid mother bought a Ninja Helmet, which does look like a Dhoom 5 helmet which does not go with my "feminine" clothes and it makes my head feel heavy. It already is, add the weight of the helmet and at traffic signals, I can't even think of keeping a straight head. Literally, it keeps bobbing due to the weight and the cute guys on Pulsars, probably think I am a retard. Read as fucktard.
Humbug!
Anyway, I don't really see the point wearing a fancy helmet with a bike, thats a living miracle.
The speedo-meter does not work.
The fuel-meter or whatever its called does not work.
The Electric start does not work during the better times of the day.
It needs to be kicked atleast 5 times.
The seat-cover is all torn. And hey! It works. Its serves good! :)
I am tempted to take it out again! Should I?
