Adrenaline rush - 5 | 11 | 2006

This the most breath taking experience up till now. The day was 5th November 2006, a normal boring sunday, and I was expecting something new. Till afternoon I was at home playing around with the television's remote control. I had planned to visit my friend's place so as to repair his computer system. He was having some problems while running programs, probably a virus. Around 2.00 p.m after having my lunch I left for Vashi.

I was heading towards my friend's house. I was somewhere close to Sanpada when I realised a jerk in the bike's handle. The rear wheel started to shake vigoursly. I turned back to check on the rear wheel and in no time the bike was out of control. The handle was shaking very much and I was on 65. Untill I could make my move so as to hit the brakes, the bike diverted off the road. I turned my eyes so as to look in the front and within a flash of seconds my bike was onto the road divider. I never got a chance to avert the diversion of my bike. As soon as it hit the divider at the speed of 60; I just felt a lift off. I was unable to think what was happening. After sometime I hit the ground and kept rolling for almost 5 to 6 times. It was a very different experience. I knew the accident was big. The whole incident might have happened in minute or less. After the toss in the air and all the rolling, I landed on the divider. I was lying flat on my stomatch.

So, finally it was over. Next thing what came to my mind was checking all my body parts :)). Miraclously! I just got up and swayed my hands and moved my legs. Then I removed my helmet and checked on my neck and shoulder. Well, strange everthing was in place and nothing really hurt. It was just a small bruise on the left palm and a little cut on the lower lip. Then I turned around to look for my bike. Well, there it was lying almost 6 feet behind me and inside the divider. It was wrecked. My helmet was also broken. I took a close look at my bike to find out what all things have got damaged. I learned that the front wheel was almost ruined and there was no chance that I could ride it back to my place. I just called up my friend and just told him that I'll be reaching late. I got back home by taking a lift. Then I went back to the place for taking my bike. I loaded my bike on to a goods carrier veichle and took it to a garage. In the evening I went to that friend's home and formatted his hard drive to clean it up.

My wounds healed in just two days, but my dear bike took almost 1 week :-(

-Bugs!
