The Fall

I have successfully survived without an accident for 7 odd weeks (after starting to ride a bike) . Only few days back I realized that riding a bike on a plain surface is different from riding on sandy road.

The Bike

Bought a Honda Unicorn in February. Travelling around became easier. Now, I dont necessarily think if I want to visit someone who is few km away.

Unicorn Specs: 150cc engine , Disc brakes for front tyre, 0-60 KMPH in 5 seconds. As a naive user, I managed to get to ~40 KMPH in 5 sec.  The color of the bike is  Black with Red Graphics( even the spec says Black, you see Red everywhere). I had my eye on the Blue Unicorn(MotoGP Edition), only later I knew that it takes few years to get it. I went along with Red which is my dad’s favorite color 🙂

The Accident

Trying to make a turn on sand, along with applying rear and front brakes is the cause of the problem. Using the front brake on sand will stop your ride for 2 minutes (even if the purpose you intended was to lower the speed), along with few scratches on the bike your the person’s on the bike. The solution goes down to, dont use the front brake while you are turning or while your bike is on sand . The worse thing is when you are trying to do both at the same time 🙂

The Memory

Am left with scratches on the left side of the bike and also some on my left hand.
