    No doubt he was in very high speed.. To add there are couple of very large deep pot hole and a man hole which was sunk there, just before the Hyundai showroom.. May be these pot holes lead to the imbalance!!! Will our ministers wake up to this and arrange for quick patchwork or still they need time??? Speed, Fatigue, Alcohol, Poor Highway quality and Super bikes are the most reason for the accidents these days!!!

    I think because of the road issue, two wheel riders must careful in that area because there is ups and down near the same spot. I think he lost control for that reason. Please check that place.

    Reckless and irresponsible driving and riding behaviour is the root cause of all these accidents and unfortunate deaths. Our toothless laws and corrupt systems add to the misery. We are a over populated nation and neither the government nor we citizens value human life. All ends with RIP.

    High performance motorcycle should be banned in India. On our roads anything over 90 kmph could be very dangerous.

    You could be driving rashly even at 20-30 kmph and hit/kill someone. Similarly you could be driving safely even at 90-100 kmph. Rash driving and not paying 100% attention to driving kills.
