I myself was in an accident in a Ghat section. Blacked out for 5 minutes. When I woke up I realized both my wrists were shattered. Thankfully people stopped and were standing near me to help, but they had no idea what they were doing. One person literally Started removing my helmet. Thankfully I was awake, so I shouted "No! No!". Since my wrists were shattered, I was worried about stabilizing them, and I decided to make a 'support' out of my knee guards(scoyco if anyone's curious). I meticulously guided the person helping me on how to remove them, where to place them, the hinge should be at the elbows, lock it around my bicep, lock it at my palms, etc. I don't know how my mind was making these decisions in that situation. Remember, I had a big enough crash to break my wrists and blackout, I woke up after that, and then I was thinking and saying these things. Meanwhile, my riding buddy who had left ahead came back. By then, I was somewhat stabilized. I stood up, walked to my buddy, moved my neck around to see if anything was hurting, AND THEN asked him to remove my helmet. "NEVER REMOVE YOUR HELMET" was the only advice I think I remembered from Shumi's old PoDcasts, and I followed that I guess😂
@@motorinc this happened 31st dec 2023. I am recovered now! And the funny part is, I had booked a new bike 15 days before this happened 🤣 And I wanted to keep it as a surprise. It was very interesting when I went to receive the bike with plasters on both of my hands, and it was fun to see the reaction on my family's face.🤣
The sweetest thing about this show now is the fact that it has become an integral part of my Sunday morning routine. Infact it's very similar to my dad's early morning routine of listening to music on DD's show called rangoli. Thank you team for giving something for all of us to look forward to. Sincerest gratitude ❤️❤️
Karthik and Shumi, it would be so so great if you guys could make a series on first aid and related things. A few weeks ago, we were driving from the airport past midnight and witnessed an accident. A guy was drunk and had crashed on his activa. His helmet fell of during the crash, he hit his head and wasnt breathing at all. Everyone with me and around me just panicked. Some even just started to vomit and nauseate due to the blood on the scene. Even though I was unfazed at what had happened (I have a very high tolerence level for violence and blood), I feel so embarassed and guilty that I could not do anything at all, because I didn't know what to do. I just stood with the crowd and assisted my friends despite being the calmest person in the entire crowd. I gave him water and tried to keep this person from fainting away and that was only what I could do. But my friend, immediately called the cops, then the fire and rescue, the opened the scooter compartment to find the RC book, then called the owner of the scooter somwehere from there, then asked the guy whom to informed and called his wife, shivering and panicking all the while he did all of this. When the man was fainting away, a random person from the crowd came in and gave CPR to him and five minutes later, the dude was on his feet. Even the man who gave the CPR had trembling hands. I kept this man's head in my arms, blood all over them, and was calm. I feel so bad that I could not use that calmness to do anything meaningful. I hope the next time I come across something like this, I will be able to contribute positively to the situation.
First, glad you stopped and helped as best as you could. Second, request noted - let's see how we can do this. Third, get first aid training - it's more important to be trained than to have a video explaining it, Anand
Karti and Shumi, great topic. My family and I recently met with an accident, and here are a few of my experiences. In this incident, I rear-ended a truck (all my fault). The front of the car was shattered, and I was more worried about my younger child, who was in the front seat and bleeding. I was okay except for some bruises from the broken glass. My wife and older child, who were in the back seat, were perfectly fine. I got out of the car and took my younger child out. My wife told me to proceed to the hospital while she managed everything else, including our older child. She kept her cool and handled the entire situation with the people around and the police. I had never prepped her for such a situation, but to my surprise, she managed it extremely well despite our younger one being at the hospital. Lesson 1: Never ever put your child in the front seat. Lesson 2: We all had our seat belts fastened; no doubt, the seat belts saved us. Lesson 3: It's important for each driver to be educated on what to do during an accident, and it's equally important for co-passengers to be educated as well. My wife managed it well despite no training, but it's always worth educating your partners. Lesson 4: Not all people are selfish and corrupt. We were lucky to have nice people around who helped us, including the local police. Lesson 5: As mentioned by Karti and Shumi, don't worry about material things; they can be fixed. My car is still in the garage being repaired. Last but not least, my younger child did not have any serious injuries; it was a deep cut that required a few stitches. Lesson 6: There is someone above who protects you (it can be God or the blessings of your elders). Sorry for the long note, hope it helps someone.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us @pradmad. We're glad to hear that all of you are fine. We hope that this helps someone else avoid such a situation. Here's hoping for better!🤜🏾🤛🏾
People act surprised when I tell them that my parents know what I do, almost every few hours or so. Granted, it’s because of Geography (different state and whatnot) It’s always a good thing to keep parents in the loop because when they aren’t and when something happens, you would have to explain before you get to a solution. And that’s time gone. So, to whoever’s reading this, tell your parents and/or family about what you’re upto. Good, bad or ugly is second. The moment they know what you’re doing, the trust levels significantly shoot upward.
People who might feel surprised are the ones who have no gratitude towards their parents for what they have done. I use an app like family 360. If I don't move from a location for more than 30 mins or so, I get a call. Same applies to them. My uncle was surprised when we went on a trip and asked me, don't you like some privacy? 😂. My parents know well enough when I need privacy.
@@IbbiAhmed I wish you the best of luck. My parents were in the “over control” zone for a long time till I sat and had a conversation with them about this. Try convincing or atleast conveying them about this need for a looser leash. There will be some push back initially but it will eventually get better. Good luck and I wish you for the best :D
@@neerajkarunanidhi6804 Thank you for the suggestions, what you said makes complete sense. I have been discussing and while they definitely aren't open to having a conversation and listening to someone younger than them for advice, with age they did leave the leash a little loose. Just waiting to stand up on my feet (financially) and that is when I think they will finally realise. Fingers crossed
I was a novice in the world of automobiles, a dreamer without direction, until I discovered your channel. Your videos became my guiding light, leading me to my first car-a used City. Through your teachings, I’ve understood road safety and begun actively learning defensive driving, a lifelong journey. You rekindled my forgotten love for motorcycles, especially the KTM I’ve yearned for over the past decade. Just when I thought I had seen it all, life threw a curveball, and I experienced my first dent-a moment of panic turned into a lesson. As I delve into this video, I eagerly anticipate what comes next. Your channel has been more than just a source of knowledge; it has been a journey of self-discovery. You’ve revved up my inner Buddha, steering towards enlightenment through This:Connect (season 2). 😊
Came here for gaining knowledge on dealing with emergencies and along with it got smashing hacks for life as a Bonus !!! Most rewatched : 00:57:46 Easy vs Hard 00:59:55 Earn Trust 01:00:55 What Can You Control 01:04:38 Intuition Works Smashing podcast !! Loved it Keep Motorinc !!!
not directly related to this episode, but thank you guys for creating the Motorinc community. It really helped me out. Today, as of now, I am on a solo trip, for 7 days ( 2500kms approx), and going through the previous episodes have helped me out tremendously. Watching this episode, while on tour... 😊
I have to say that my Sunday mornings are so so so much better with this type of Mature content coming up to make up so much aware and ready for the world out there.. this episode really got me so related with the way you handle emergencies because I t made me realise what I’ve done wrong and what i did right and what I’ve changed what I was doing wrong..damn shumi really hits the right note every fricking time.. how do you even manage to do this?? 😍 the best motoring channel on the internet right now 🙂
I am in absolute love with these series of podcast. It’s wonderful how you guys address certain fears that never really see the light of the day. One of which is, it’s so strange that when I head out on a roadtrip with the boys, I have absolutely no fear. I’ve been driving for over 10 years now, and haven’t been anywhere close to an emergency (grace and careful driving), but the moment I need to drive my wife or my parents to another city or a holiday, or I plan on a solo ride/ drive, a fear kicks in, what if something goes wrong… The fact that you guys gave out such deep insights from your experiences, has addressed this fear head on. Going forward, I’ll have some idea to handle the situation better when things screw up. Thanks for this. Much appreciated!
I had the exact opposite thing of what Shumi Sir faced, there was a girl driving an Alto, and she panicked on seeing a puppy infront and swayed the car right, I was on the right on my Apache 160 2015, I crashed, my shoulder got dislocated. We don't have any pain till there is an adrenaline run. First thing I did was to to try pick up my bike and then I realised I have no power in the shoulder and there is something wrong. I told someone to park it off the road give me the keys. I took a rikshaw to the nearest hospital, informing my family on the way, and back to back smoking 3 cigarettes, to ease of the increasing pain. By the time my family reached, I was already in the OT. Doctor gave me anesthesia twice and I was not dozing off, they had to do a fix on my while I can feel a little pain, but I saw and remember the whole thing.
@@Shreyas466 people still not knowing or learning that if any animal comes in front of u its better to ram them and not to panic break or do some mindless turns that cause severe damage to both of them is beyond me ,when will people learn????
@@mulesofttrainingi mean for new drivers, it’s easier said than done. When I was a fairly new driver, i was doing my first intercity road trip with my family and a puppy came in front of me on the highway, and as it was the first time i was encountering something like that, i swerved to left instinctively without even giving a second to think about it. Thankfully there was no harm done to anyone by what now i realise was a stupid move by me. My point is, people sometimes act on instincts and as an inexperienced driver, your instinct would tell you to avoid hitting an object on the way and esp if it’s a living being. I experienced it first hand, so i know how that is
I attended CPR training in my society yesterday. They outlined SOP for emergency situations. 1. Assess the scene. Check if it is safe for you to help (away from electrical wires, slippery surface, middle of road, etc.). 2. Call for help before you do anything else. 3. Check if the person needs help before doing anything. 4. Do rest of CPR stuff. Point is to keep yourself safe and call for help immediately. Don't try to be a hero.
@@nikhilvijay6022 It was arranged by a local hospital as ours is quite a big society and we need to have own ERT. CPR is way, way harder than it looks in videos. You have to use a lot of force very fast and is quite tiring.
Petition to make this as a Netflix series. I am 30+, I know 90% of this already, but if I knew all this when I was 19, my crashes were heck lot of less.
I try to finish my work early on the sundays just so that i can sit and watch these episodes without any distraction, because it's not just the motor content, it's just way more than that. and i really appreciate everything that you guys do. at the and of every episode i feel like a better person a better version of myself, thanks guys for all the awesome things you do!!
I got to know about this channel through Teambhp and I must say, this is the best channel I have subscribed to from all the other channels. And this video, supercedes any other videos on this channel. I have been advocating telling your parents everything you are up to, because they are the only ones in the world who don't want anything in return (barring a few exceptions ofcourse). Finally, I have a video to directly share. Thank you Kartikey and Shumi.
Ideas for future episodes: 1. 5 best and 5 worst cars and bikes you've driven/ridden over your careers so far. Possibly touch upon what it means for a car or bike to be sporty. 2. 10 vehicles from international markets you'd like to see in India and do you see that happening at some point. 1 would be my preferred topic 😊
Love the fact that y’all are talking about this. As a doctor, I completely agree with having the mindset of being prepped for the worst case scenario. It all boils down to how well you can plan for, and anticipate worst-case scenarios. Golden advice 🙌 (For eg: Every time I fly, I read up the latest BLS and ACLS protocols for resuscitation. There’s no shame revisiting things you think you know). I’m pretty sure most people don’t even have first aid kits in their vehicle!
guys, been watching you for the last 5-6 months. Hats off to the job you guys are doing, especially with ThisConnect S2. You’re doing more to spread awareness among drivers and riders more than any authority I’ve seen. Excellent content, keep it up. One of the very few channels I watch religiously.
47:00 about hiding an accident from my family. It’s my story 15 years back when I was in 1st pu, didn’t have a license, 16 years old. I had a tvs max 100 which used to sound pretty cool. Brakes were barely there and I was a reckless driver. It was my exam day and I was already panicking. The accident happened when went face to face with a bmtc bus. Idk whether it was my parents blessing or god’s grace or sheer co incidence. I was hated for a bulky bike guard that I had put( just to look cool), that saved my leg which maybe was an inch away from bus tires. Now is where the story gets a bit wild. I stood up and was standing within the crowd and people were searching under the bus for the biker, I admitted that I did it and someone who said that he was known to my dad, bailed me out. I went to exam, still pretty shaken, but was a bit relieved that I was out of the situation, but was almost s/ittng in my pants on my parents getting to know about it. I was in the middle of the exam when a peon called my name and ik i was done for good, it was my mom who was almost crying, the first thing that I asked her was “ how did you get to know about this”. Every person I met was looking at me like a convict, my identity was “hey he’s that guy who went under the bus”, uncles giving me lectures of what life is and how every moment is important. Man o man, the next two years were about gaining my parent’s trust back that I won’t do it again and it took my 3 years to get my bike, I had lost the right to choose, I wanted an r15, but I was happy with the apache I had got. My tiger has been there with me for 12 years now. Looking back at it, I was stupid and reckless, for which I paid for, but the victim blaming (if you can call so) to the person who met with accident and all those life lectures made me feel worse. I haven’t had an incident post that mainly due to controlled speeds and riding to not impress anyone.
“Remove the emotions from the picture and focus on the the humans involved. They are the one thing that’ll be hardest to fix. All of the mechanical parts can eventually be fixed, no matter how tense it is.” - Shumi Man! Truer words haven’t been spoken. 👏
Came for the automotive advice stayed for life advice. Absolutely loved the smooth shift into life advice and skills Would love more of this deep meaningful conversations about life and its aspects. This was really an eye opener. I genuinely have a different outlook on life after listening to you both talk. Hats off guys
Man, this channel is just amazing. I almost feel like I have two elder brothers in Shumi and Karthik. I am so grateful for what you guys are doing. Thank you!
This, in my opinion is not only a video but an important piece of education that no one will usually impart. It has widened my perspective on how to deal with not only emergencies but also the aftermath of them.
I can safely say this is the channel i can look up to !! respect to you guys for doing different topics where almost the whole industry is running brochures on their channel.
As long as you decided to make the time a massive issue it's as massive an issue as you want it to be - Shumi . I definitely needed this advice in many scenarios 🙂👏
This episode should be shown to everyone during riding/driving training before getting a driving licence - my wife's words not mine. I've been consuming Shumi's content for more than a decade and half and he's been teaching everyone about road safety and dealing with emergency situations for years now, so I'm aware of a lot of things he's said over the years and I've put all of it into practice as well. But my wife just started consuming your content since last one year and she's become a big supporter of your channel. Whenever a new video comes out, me and my wife listen to it diligently while having our morning breakfast. And then once we're done with it, my wife makes sure she shares the episode with her close ones saying 'listen to this new one by shumi bhaiya' Your conversations make a lot of sense but this episode seems like everyone riding/driving or going to do that in future should definitely watch it. Incredible work you folks are doing!
Motorinc isn't just about motorcycles or cars anymore-it's become a lifestyle. Especially for me. It's the only thing that helps me get through my Monday blues at the office. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without it.
As i write this, I'm currently at home recovering from a major crash that happened a while back, which left me with thankfully minor fractures in my back and wrist (it essentially happened because I bit off more than I could chew by deciding to go on a mumbai-pune bike trip as my first intercity trip after only a month of riding around Navi mumbai/Uran/Alibaug, and couldn't slow down in time for a car unexpectedly cutting into the highway ahead of a junction just outside of Pune). I've been recovering very well, and watching motorinc to understand how i can be a safer and better rider has been extremely helpful to the point where i bought a membership. This particular episode hits home the most, and i sincerely thank you both for helping me understand myself better, and mapping out a path that'll let me enjoy a life of two wheels while being safe for myself, and for others. re: about lying, I agree 100%; the best decision I made the day of the crash was to call up my dad and tell him what happened, and keeping him updated as things progressed with the police and at the hospital. The police was also very helpful, in a very "I can see what's happened, now let's figure out a way to take care of this with the minimum amount of trouble for both parties". Thanks again to all of you at motorinc!
The best thing about this session is that i can relate myself to each and everything that you guys discuss and just brings a smile. Faced almost everything which you discussed.
Listening to this podcast while I am recovering from an accident myself. Though it was not a car/bike accident, I broke my Tibia and Fibula while playing cricket. Fortunately, there were many friends present there and they called the Ambulance and took me to hospital. Some of them were really strong and kept talking to me in that situation. They kept their cool and even during the surgery period helped me to stay strong. I agree with Shumi to keep the emotional aspect aside for emergency situation and take necessary steps.
Completely resonated with shumi's advice. My version is - If you have failed an exam, It feels so much better to know that the majority of class has also failed. Doesn't change the result but the panic and stress fades away!
I absolutely love the content. The articulation, the calmness and most importantly, the detailed and correct information. My Sunday routine includes listening to the boys while preparing breakfast. Have learnt so much from the two of you, which I believe has made me a better rider and driver. Thank you so much MotorInc ❤
P.S: I agree with Kartikeya about the Figo 1.2 Petrol being a gem of a car, I have it and have driven across India (except the East) 10years, 1,76,000 km and counting.
Masterclass in content making, this was great episode, Generally any topic going more than 25-30 mins gets me boring, but this channel is so great. Some episodes i have watched 2-3 times
I am so glad to listen to this!! A humble request to my inspiration Mr. Shumi is, please suggest a few books to read as I heard u are a voracious book bug that helps build the character and personality and a uniqueness of one's self?
@shumi and @karthi you gave us a great life lesson which we have to adhere to every situation not only when we are on roads Where to worry and where not to worry, Difference between money, humans and materials. How to deal with police in a panic situation How to establish a good trustworthy relationship with parents and friends. I have been following these principles already in life and I feel happy to hear from you guys those learning as well
Thank you to both Sumi and Karthik for covering this in so much details. I used to think what should be done in case of emergencies and have no idea about it. I organise rides with my friends and now that I know what should be done in case of an emergency I am prepared of it. Stay calm, Take Charge, Less worry, You have time and many more lessons. Tell the truth and truth only. The parenting part is great and the alcohol. Also for the next podcast the premium segment. Looking forward to that. As Sumi said we must aspire. Thanks 😊
Another great topic for discussion by @motorinc... On the final day of my vacation in December of last year, I was coming home after seeing some close friends. I was in a rush when I had an accident, hitting a scooter and I flew-off my bike. Fortunately, I just had minor bruises and scratches when I stood up. I looked at the guys on the scooter first, and they weren't hurt at all. A crowd suddenly gathered, so I grabbed my bike and asked the people on the scooter to move off the main road a little to avoid the crowd and the police because I had a flight the following day. After that, we spoke for a time, I called dad and explained him the situation and he came to the location, thankfully the accident happened near to our regular repair workshop so we all went there and as it was my fault, I fixed their scooter and we parted ways...
@@motorinc but that accident really lowered my confidence while riding. I noticed that last April when I went back home. Also, I found the importance of the presence of mind, good brakes, and better headlights...
I want to add it's really important to tell your parents the truth. My friends always say you're stupid for not lying / telling your parents everything that you do. Today because of me always telling the truth and being honest to my parents. They know that me despite being in a group of friends who smoke cigarettes our son has never smoked once in his life and none can say otherwise.
From 50:00 to the next 2 minutes are just pure therapy session for the middle class Indian parents and children. The dynamics in between Shumi & his parents are a gem
Hey guys! I recently stumbled upon you guys and you have become a weekly fixture in my life! I recently have reignited my passion for bikes thanks to Maharashtra monsoon and you guys have been right there kinda guide me through this rediscovery of my passion! Thanks a lot for being like that one friend who gives correct advice at all times and makes it stick! Love the format, love you guys and love This Connect!
A month ago I met with an accident. I was near my house so called my father immediately. Best thing to do as when he took me to the emergency there was a sense that everything will be alright which is now. One thing I want to add in to it is whichever doctor you're consulting with tell him everything what happened and get all the tests necessary to be done. It will save your time and money when you take a second opinion about an injury. Great to see this episode. ❤
Nothing to add just a quick thank you for this learning experience and for sharing your experience with respect to emergencies.The only thing that I can add is that I would have not landed on this podcast if I hadn't been interested to know about how I should maintain my bike and must say thank you for these podcasts and all the other content you have available.
The rhing about this podcast, is rhat no matter what were discussing, i always come away with a true life lesson that i can write in the margin of my journal and never foeget. You guys deel like family now.
Even I follow that worst case scenario possibility in almost all parts of my life. This helps me in preparing for the worst in advance especially while riding/driving. Anticipation is a strong thing that is must while riding as said in previous podcast by our gentlemen. It would be helpful if you guys make a video on basic first aid reatment in case of an emergency. Always grateful to MotorInc 🙏🏻❤️
Man this one hit a chord! A lot of what was said here today, came to me thankfully instinctively earlier this year and that's a reason why i am alive today! @Motorinc you guys are single-handedly improving the quality of discourse in Indian on-road etiquette. I hope someday these discussions become part of main stream discourse which would make India a much safer place for everyone. Thank you!
This is a topic with which I was always on the lookout. Thankfully, whatever situations I imagined, however worse, was discussed here. Superb! The relevance and practicality of this_connect is why I always tune in.
This is the kind of discussions that podcasts were made for - informative, anecdotal, and inspiring. ThisConnect never fails to deliver. - In extension to Shumi's point of regulating emotions and not acting out of impulse, I think that will take you far beyond in life than motorcycle riding & emergencies. If you are able to separate emotions from the facts and deal with each individually, your decision making becomes extremely clear and it's very unlikely that the consequences of your actions will surprise you then. Also, first thing they teach in First Aid courses is to breathe and get your own heartbeat in control before helping anyone else - so that's an important life lesson in itself! - We want a longer version of Karthik's piece of choosing your hardships. That is a very interesting way of looking at things instead of just saying that you've got to work hard so that life becomes easy.
I am a doctor by profession..and all of tgeir advices are true..like the one..where safeguard urselves before helping others.. Love the podcasts..so much.. I m not even a biker or a long distance driver..but enjoy their storytelling.. Thanks for the quality content.. Have some doubts about which 2 wheeler to buy..from burgman/cb-shine/shine sp/ntorq/access/yamaha aeroxx
Thanks for watching doc! We'd suggest starting with test rides of all of these as this is a diverse selection of options. Test rides will help you know better about which ones you don't prefer, at the very least. Once you narrow things down, please get back to us with your questions and we'll be happy to help.
Best takeway for me is time flexibility. I always like to be punctual and want things done within time. It's very counter intuitive for someone like that to loose control over time. But as discussed, it really helps. To just think about what's most important in that moment. Another great video team ❤🎉
Dare u guys ever miss a sunday video for whatever reason. This has become my sunday coffee ritual. I ll hold u guys accountable for spoiling my weekend 😜 As always incredible
This is very useful discussion. For me it helped me to understand the kind of situations that i am unaware. Also helped to validate the past decision in cricis situation was right or wrong.
Thank you so much 💓 Both Kartikeya and Shumi ❤ And motorink ❤ That don't lie section is taken most importantly it's a life lesson tooo and not the least rest of them also Thank you again and Disconnect ❤❤❤❤
yes! ethics class is over... next week economy from MotorInc universiity :) Thank you for such insights on emergency situations karthik and shumi, will definitely try to implement it on roads the next time.
I am late to this.. But it was worth the TIME I spent here.. Also my dad always said don't worry about machines they can be fixed.. Take care of yourself and the people involved..
Bruh 💀 I came for an educational, funny podcast, I'm going back enlightened, deep introspection, trans, Deja vu. What kind of black magic is this! @Shumi Sir. The gut feeling is so on point!, I avoided so many fatal incidents with that. Just last week I took an Apache for rent in B'lore for 1 week. I always take the 48 Highway back from work to have some fun riding. One evening it rained, I introspected for a good 15-20 mins, and I ended up not taking the highway that night. To learn the next day that a couple of bike accidents happened that night.
Great content as ever. Thank you so much. Looking forward for the next content as I am aspiring for new himi450 from meteor 350. Although I am very happy with my meteor, I think I'll enjoy the 450 more. Fortunate enough to take a test ride last year at motoverse. Please suggest if I should as this will be my everyday 70km ride (home-office-home) in WEH as well as some tours in between.
A tip for altitude sickness - If you do cardio in the Anaerobic phase (>155 bpm) and VO2-max phase (>175 bpm) for 20mins/day and at least a month consistently, chances of you facing alt sickness is very low. You'll need a fitness tracker (a proper one) and a gym membership for that, and have to actually use it to reap the benefits. It's a longshot, a very tedious process but helps a long way.
@@vbanner having stayed in ladakh for 2 years I advise strict rest for 2 days and mild walking with elevation climbs from day 3 for and day 6 you are normal good to go and then every 3000ft just acclimatise for 2 days any training would help you till 8000 feet but yes it's good to be fit
Hey @vbanner! It's good to be fit as @DozingDoc says, but AMS is a bit unpredictable and assuming you're fit so it won't affect you is a poor call. Best strategy is to take it easy, work actively on acclimatising and not increase physical exertion until you can breathe as close to normally as possible.
I have travelled more than 40k kilometres all around Kashmir and the rest of North India without even a proper jacket. Always solo and with no preparation, thinking I am invincible. Now that I am a bit older and I have been educating myself about motorcycling, I realize how exceptionally fortunate I have been! Thanks to you guys I invested in some basic gear (what my pocket could bear) and I have become a much wiser biker. 🙏❤️
Hi Shumi & Kartikeya, a lovely and insightful podcast as usual. I was wondering if there could be an episode regarding Riding Gears to educate us regular folks. It's purely my guess but since many of us might not have basic understanding about what to buy for what kind of usage, many may end up buying the wrong thing. Your insight and knowledge would help us to a great extent in understanding riding gears and would make us literate about what to look for; since our eyes can't see what our minds don't know. Also, it'd be great if you can share the names of some great books that you've read.
Hi. I’m an airline pilot. I can say from the after listening to the entire episode that a lot of aviation safety elements are so much helpful if applied to road vehicle driving. Would love to discuss them over here. People would appreciate and relate it a lot.
"People never rise to the occasion, they fall down to the level of their training." You can watch all the first aid vids you want, listen to podcasts, even do a first aid course. But if you don't practise till it's as natural as breathing, it WILL fail when you want it to work. Drill. Drill. Drill. Be safe y'all. PS: Great show as always gents.
Great job 👏🏼 So much to learn from this episode Future episode idea 2 separate episodes Brand wise report card Things that a automaker is doing Go and Bad and what they should focus on

Man, came for motor content and came away with parenting, and life advice.
This is why we love Motorinc.
Glad to hear that @leakedzebra.
I myself was in an accident in a Ghat section. Blacked out for 5 minutes. When I woke up I realized both my wrists were shattered. Thankfully people stopped and were standing near me to help, but they had no idea what they were doing. One person literally Started removing my helmet. Thankfully I was awake, so I shouted "No! No!". Since my wrists were shattered, I was worried about stabilizing them, and I decided to make a 'support' out of my knee guards(scoyco if anyone's curious). I meticulously guided the person helping me on how to remove them, where to place them, the hinge should be at the elbows, lock it around my bicep, lock it at my palms, etc. I don't know how my mind was making these decisions in that situation. Remember, I had a big enough crash to break my wrists and blackout, I woke up after that, and then I was thinking and saying these things. Meanwhile, my riding buddy who had left ahead came back. By then, I was somewhat stabilized. I stood up, walked to my buddy, moved my neck around to see if anything was hurting, AND THEN asked him to remove my helmet. "NEVER REMOVE YOUR HELMET" was the only advice I think I remembered from Shumi's old PoDcasts, and I followed that I guess😂
Sounds scary! Glad you walked yourself out of that, Aditya! All okay now?
@@motorinc this happened 31st dec 2023. I am recovered now! And the funny part is, I had booked a new bike 15 days before this happened 🤣 And I wanted to keep it as a surprise. It was very interesting when I went to receive the bike with plasters on both of my hands, and it was fun to see the reaction on my family's face.🤣
@@aditya.khapre Damn 😂
Holy shit 😂😂
Hard AF! 😂
The sweetest thing about this show now is the fact that it has become an integral part of my Sunday morning routine. Infact it's very similar to my dad's early morning routine of listening to music on DD's show called rangoli. Thank you team for giving something for all of us to look forward to.
Sincerest gratitude ❤️❤️
Glad to be part of your weekend Abhishek! ❤️
I think you guys can make a children's educational show called 'The Adventures of Little Shumi'😆
🤣
Lol, good one!
Karthik and Shumi, it would be so so great if you guys could make a series on first aid and related things.
A few weeks ago, we were driving from the airport past midnight and witnessed an accident. A guy was drunk and had crashed on his activa. His helmet fell of during the crash, he hit his head and wasnt breathing at all. Everyone with me and around me just panicked. Some even just started to vomit and nauseate due to the blood on the scene.
Even though I was unfazed at what had happened (I have a very high tolerence level for violence and blood), I feel so embarassed and guilty that I could not do anything at all, because I didn't know what to do. I just stood with the crowd and assisted my friends despite being the calmest person in the entire crowd. I gave him water and tried to keep this person from fainting away and that was only what I could do. But my friend, immediately called the cops, then the fire and rescue, the opened the scooter compartment to find the RC book, then called the owner of the scooter somwehere from there, then asked the guy whom to informed and called his wife, shivering and panicking all the while he did all of this.
When the man was fainting away, a random person from the crowd came in and gave CPR to him and five minutes later, the dude was on his feet.
Even the man who gave the CPR had trembling hands. I kept this man's head in my arms, blood all over them, and was calm. I feel so bad that I could not use that calmness to do anything meaningful.
I hope the next time I come across something like this, I will be able to contribute positively to the situation.
First, glad you stopped and helped as best as you could. Second, request noted - let's see how we can do this. Third, get first aid training - it's more important to be trained than to have a video explaining it, Anand
Karti and Shumi, great topic.
My family and I recently met with an accident, and here are a few of my experiences. In this incident, I rear-ended a truck (all my fault). The front of the car was shattered, and I was more worried about my younger child, who was in the front seat and bleeding. I was okay except for some bruises from the broken glass. My wife and older child, who were in the back seat, were perfectly fine. I got out of the car and took my younger child out.
My wife told me to proceed to the hospital while she managed everything else, including our older child. She kept her cool and handled the entire situation with the people around and the police. I had never prepped her for such a situation, but to my surprise, she managed it extremely well despite our younger one being at the hospital.
Lesson 1: Never ever put your child in the front seat.
Lesson 2: We all had our seat belts fastened; no doubt, the seat belts saved us.
Lesson 3: It's important for each driver to be educated on what to do during an accident, and it's equally important for co-passengers to be educated as well. My wife managed it well despite no training, but it's always worth educating your partners.
Lesson 4: Not all people are selfish and corrupt. We were lucky to have nice people around who helped us, including the local police.
Lesson 5: As mentioned by Karti and Shumi, don't worry about material things; they can be fixed. My car is still in the garage being repaired.
Last but not least, my younger child did not have any serious injuries; it was a deep cut that required a few stitches.
Lesson 6: There is someone above who protects you (it can be God or the blessings of your elders).
Sorry for the long note, hope it helps someone.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us @pradmad. We're glad to hear that all of you are fine. We hope that this helps someone else avoid such a situation. Here's hoping for better!🤜🏾🤛🏾
People act surprised when I tell them that my parents know what I do, almost every few hours or so. Granted, it’s because of Geography (different state and whatnot) It’s always a good thing to keep parents in the loop because when they aren’t and when something happens, you would have to explain before you get to a solution. And that’s time gone. So, to whoever’s reading this, tell your parents and/or family about what you’re upto. Good, bad or ugly is second. The moment they know what you’re doing, the trust levels significantly shoot upward.
People who might feel surprised are the ones who have no gratitude towards their parents for what they have done. I use an app like family 360. If I don't move from a location for more than 30 mins or so, I get a call. Same applies to them. My uncle was surprised when we went on a trip and asked me, don't you like some privacy? 😂. My parents know well enough when I need privacy.
Absolutely spot on!
Well. Congrats on having mentally sane parents. Wish we kids with toxic overcontrolling parents could also do that :)
@@IbbiAhmed I wish you the best of luck. My parents were in the “over control” zone for a long time till I sat and had a conversation with them about this. Try convincing or atleast conveying them about this need for a looser leash. There will be some push back initially but it will eventually get better. Good luck and I wish you for the best :D
@@neerajkarunanidhi6804 Thank you for the suggestions, what you said makes complete sense. I have been discussing and while they definitely aren't open to having a conversation and listening to someone younger than them for advice, with age they did leave the leash a little loose. Just waiting to stand up on my feet (financially) and that is when I think they will finally realise. Fingers crossed
I was a novice in the world of automobiles, a dreamer without direction, until I discovered your channel. Your videos became my guiding light, leading me to my first car-a used City. Through your teachings, I’ve understood road safety and begun actively learning defensive driving, a lifelong journey. You rekindled my forgotten love for motorcycles, especially the KTM I’ve yearned for over the past decade.
Just when I thought I had seen it all, life threw a curveball, and I experienced my first dent-a moment of panic turned into a lesson. As I delve into this video, I eagerly anticipate what comes next.
Your channel has been more than just a source of knowledge; it has been a journey of self-discovery. You’ve revved up my inner Buddha, steering towards enlightenment through This:Connect (season 2). 😊
Thank you for joining us @niteshjoshi4583.

Thanks SP!
not directly related to this episode, but thank you guys for creating the Motorinc community. It really helped me out.
Today, as of now, I am on a solo trip, for 7 days ( 2500kms approx), and going through the previous episodes have helped me out tremendously.
Watching this episode, while on tour... 😊
Glad we can help, Sayantan! Have a fun, memorable and safe trip! Where are you headed?
@@motorinc i am headed to goa(palolem) from hyderabad, had a night stop in hubli yesterday. today reaching goa
Have fun!
@@motorinc thanks ...
I have to say that my Sunday mornings are so so so much better with this type of Mature content coming up to make up so much aware and ready for the world out there.. this episode really got me so related with the way you handle emergencies because I t made me realise what I’ve done wrong and what i did right and what I’ve changed what I was doing wrong..damn shumi really hits the right note every fricking time.. how do you even manage to do this?? 😍 the best motoring channel on the internet right now 🙂
Thanks Ralph! Glad we can help, and glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
I am in absolute love with these series of podcast. It’s wonderful how you guys address certain fears that never really see the light of the day. One of which is, it’s so strange that when I head out on a roadtrip with the boys, I have absolutely no fear. I’ve been driving for over 10 years now, and haven’t been anywhere close to an emergency (grace and careful driving), but the moment I need to drive my wife or my parents to another city or a holiday, or I plan on a solo ride/ drive,
a fear kicks in, what if something goes wrong… The fact that you guys gave out such deep insights from your experiences, has addressed this fear head on. Going forward, I’ll have some idea to handle the situation better when things screw up. Thanks for this. Much appreciated!
Super thrilled we can help! Thanks Nikhil!
I had the exact opposite thing of what Shumi Sir faced, there was a girl driving an Alto, and she panicked on seeing a puppy infront and swayed the car right, I was on the right on my Apache 160 2015, I crashed, my shoulder got dislocated. We don't have any pain till there is an adrenaline run.
First thing I did was to to try pick up my bike and then I realised I have no power in the shoulder and there is something wrong. I told someone to park it off the road give me the keys. I took a rikshaw to the nearest hospital, informing my family on the way, and back to back smoking 3 cigarettes, to ease of the increasing pain.
By the time my family reached, I was already in the OT. Doctor gave me anesthesia twice and I was not dozing off, they had to do a fix on my while I can feel a little pain, but I saw and remember the whole thing.
Well played! Glad you kept your wits about you and we're hoping you're okay now and back on the bike?
@@motorinc Yes, it was back in 2018, fit n fine, and back on bikes, 2019.
@@Shreyas466 people still not knowing or learning that if any animal comes in front of u its better to ram them and not to panic break or do some mindless turns that cause severe damage to both of them is beyond me ,when will people learn????
@@mulesofttraining One simple rule they forget, to look as far as possible, this only, negates 80% of incidents.
@@mulesofttrainingi mean for new drivers, it’s easier said than done. When I was a fairly new driver, i was doing my first intercity road trip with my family and a puppy came in front of me on the highway, and as it was the first time i was encountering something like that, i swerved to left instinctively without even giving a second to think about it. Thankfully there was no harm done to anyone by what now i realise was a stupid move by me. My point is, people sometimes act on instincts and as an inexperienced driver, your instinct would tell you to avoid hitting an object on the way and esp if it’s a living being. I experienced it first hand, so i know how that is
I attended CPR training in my society yesterday. They outlined SOP for emergency situations.
1. Assess the scene. Check if it is safe for you to help (away from electrical wires, slippery surface, middle of road, etc.).
2. Call for help before you do anything else.
3. Check if the person needs help before doing anything.
4. Do rest of CPR stuff.
Point is to keep yourself safe and call for help immediately. Don't try to be a hero.
That's amazing. Thankyou so much for writing it here. How can I learn the same in my city. Are these agencies or paramedics?
@@nikhilvijay6022 It was arranged by a local hospital as ours is quite a big society and we need to have own ERT. CPR is way, way harder than it looks in videos. You have to use a lot of force very fast and is quite tiring.
Spot on!
Petition to make this as a Netflix series.
I am 30+, I know 90% of this already, but if I knew all this when I was 19, my crashes were heck lot of less.
♥️
@@CRAFTYKIDSCLUB19 These two are briliant, I would recommend watch shorts from Arun Sir as well(Big Bear Bengaluru).
Being a new driver watching you makes me a lot more sensible and responsible out there. Thankful
I try to finish my work early on the sundays just so that i can sit and watch these episodes without any distraction, because it's not just the motor content, it's just way more than that. and i really appreciate everything that you guys do.
at the and of every episode i feel like a better person a better version of myself, thanks guys for all the awesome things you do!!
Thanks Jeetu!
I got to know about this channel through Teambhp and I must say, this is the best channel I have subscribed to from all the other channels. And this video, supercedes any other videos on this channel. I have been advocating telling your parents everything you are up to, because they are the only ones in the world who don't want anything in return (barring a few exceptions ofcourse). Finally, I have a video to directly share.
Thank you Kartikey and Shumi.
Thanks @thesanehusband! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
Ideas for future episodes:
1. 5 best and 5 worst cars and bikes you've driven/ridden over your careers so far. Possibly touch upon what it means for a car or bike to be sporty.
2. 10 vehicles from international markets you'd like to see in India and do you see that happening at some point.
1 would be my preferred topic 😊
Suggestions noted, Rohit! Thanks!
Love the fact that y’all are talking about this.
As a doctor, I completely agree with having the mindset of being prepped for the worst case scenario.
It all boils down to how well you can plan for, and anticipate worst-case scenarios.
Golden advice 🙌
(For eg: Every time I fly, I read up the latest BLS and ACLS protocols for resuscitation. There’s no shame revisiting things you think you know).
I’m pretty sure most people don’t even have first aid kits in their vehicle!
Glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing doc.
wow...i listen to motorinc in parts since every think that has been discussed, needs reflection and introspection. thank you for doing this!
Hey SM! Glad to hear you are taking it all in!
Family therapy session was not on my bingo card …. 😂😂
😅
Amazing amazing video! It's the new perspectives that every MotorInc video gives is what I love the most.
Happy to hear that! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
guys, been watching you for the last 5-6 months. Hats off to the job you guys are doing, especially with ThisConnect S2. You’re doing more to spread awareness among drivers and riders more than any authority I’ve seen. Excellent content, keep it up. One of the very few channels I watch religiously.
Thanks HS for spending time with us!
47:00 about hiding an accident from my family.
It’s my story 15 years back when I was in 1st pu, didn’t have a license, 16 years old. I had a tvs max 100 which used to sound pretty cool. Brakes were barely there and I was a reckless driver. It was my exam day and I was already panicking. The accident happened when went face to face with a bmtc bus. Idk whether it was my parents blessing or god’s grace or sheer co incidence. I was hated for a bulky bike guard that I had put( just to look cool), that saved my leg which maybe was an inch away from bus tires.
Now is where the story gets a bit wild. I stood up and was standing within the crowd and people were searching under the bus for the biker, I admitted that I did it and someone who said that he was known to my dad, bailed me out. I went to exam, still pretty shaken, but was a bit relieved that I was out of the situation, but was almost s/ittng in my pants on my parents getting to know about it.
I was in the middle of the exam when a peon called my name and ik i was done for good, it was my mom who was almost crying, the first thing that I asked her was “ how did you get to know about this”. Every person I met was looking at me like a convict, my identity was “hey he’s that guy who went under the bus”, uncles giving me lectures of what life is and how every moment is important. Man o man, the next two years were about gaining my parent’s trust back that I won’t do it again and it took my 3 years to get my bike, I had lost the right to choose, I wanted an r15, but I was happy with the apache I had got. My tiger has been there with me for 12 years now.
Looking back at it, I was stupid and reckless, for which I paid for, but the victim blaming (if you can call so) to the person who met with accident and all those life lectures made me feel worse.
I haven’t had an incident post that mainly due to controlled speeds and riding to not impress anyone.
Thank you for sharing @sr.Kumar95! Glad you came out of that okay and are still riding!
That example Shumi says during the Tell your Family part of the video, is so good. Honesty and being straight forward is always better.
expierences you people share on thisconnect are very great
Glad to hear that Himanshu!
“Remove the emotions from the picture and focus on the the humans involved. They are the one thing that’ll be hardest to fix. All of the mechanical parts can eventually be fixed, no matter how tense it is.” - Shumi
Man! Truer words haven’t been spoken. 👏
Came for the automotive advice stayed for life advice.
Absolutely loved the smooth shift into life advice and skills
Would love more of this deep meaningful conversations about life and its aspects. This was really an eye opener. I genuinely have a different outlook on life after listening to you both talk.
Hats off guys
Thank you for joining us @swaggychinken.
Man, this channel is just amazing. I almost feel like I have two elder brothers in Shumi and Karthik. I am so grateful for what you guys are doing. Thank you!
Our pleasure @danyl.fernandes!
This, in my opinion is not only a video but an important piece of education that no one will usually impart. It has widened my perspective on how to deal with not only emergencies but also the aftermath of them.
Glad to hear that @shantanupathak1339! Thanks for sharing.
I can safely say this is the channel i can look up to !! respect to you guys for doing different topics where almost the whole industry is running brochures on their channel.
Thank you @aadityaacharya4.
As long as you decided to make the time a massive issue it's as massive an issue as you want it to be - Shumi . I definitely needed this advice in many scenarios 🙂👏
Always!
This episode should be shown to everyone during riding/driving training before getting a driving licence - my wife's words not mine.
I've been consuming Shumi's content for more than a decade and half and he's been teaching everyone about road safety and dealing with emergency situations for years now, so I'm aware of a lot of things he's said over the years and I've put all of it into practice as well.
But my wife just started consuming your content since last one year and she's become a big supporter of your channel. Whenever a new video comes out, me and my wife listen to it diligently while having our morning breakfast. And then once we're done with it, my wife makes sure she shares the episode with her close ones saying 'listen to this new one by shumi bhaiya'
Your conversations make a lot of sense but this episode seems like everyone riding/driving or going to do that in future should definitely watch it.
Incredible work you folks are doing!
That’s awesome to know! Thanks so much!
Motorinc isn't just about motorcycles or cars anymore-it's become a lifestyle. Especially for me. It's the only thing that helps me get through my Monday blues at the office. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without it.
Thank you for the kind words @debankodas2811.
As i write this, I'm currently at home recovering from a major crash that happened a while back, which left me with thankfully minor fractures in my back and wrist (it essentially happened because I bit off more than I could chew by deciding to go on a mumbai-pune bike trip as my first intercity trip after only a month of riding around Navi mumbai/Uran/Alibaug, and couldn't slow down in time for a car unexpectedly cutting into the highway ahead of a junction just outside of Pune).
I've been recovering very well, and watching motorinc to understand how i can be a safer and better rider has been extremely helpful to the point where i bought a membership.
This particular episode hits home the most, and i sincerely thank you both for helping me understand myself better, and mapping out a path that'll let me enjoy a life of two wheels while being safe for myself, and for others.
re: about lying, I agree 100%; the best decision I made the day of the crash was to call up my dad and tell him what happened, and keeping him updated as things progressed with the police and at the hospital. The police was also very helpful, in a very "I can see what's happened, now let's figure out a way to take care of this with the minimum amount of trouble for both parties".
Thanks again to all of you at motorinc!
Glad you're on the mend, @ashketchum9566! Get well soon and get back on it! Glad you enjoyed the watch!
Papa Shumi and uncle Kartikey coming again w9th a banging episode.
🤣
The best thing about this session is that i can relate myself to each and everything that you guys discuss and just brings a smile. Faced almost everything which you discussed.
Glad to see we are on the same page. 🙏🏾
Listening to this podcast while I am recovering from an accident myself. Though it was not a car/bike accident, I broke my Tibia and Fibula while playing cricket. Fortunately, there were many friends present there and they called the Ambulance and took me to hospital. Some of them were really strong and kept talking to me in that situation. They kept their cool and even during the surgery period helped me to stay strong. I agree with Shumi to keep the emotional aspect aside for emergency situation and take necessary steps.
Woah! Sounds serious @liftscriptdrama8513. We are glad to hear that you're recovering nicely and we're happy to keep you company! Good luck.
Completely resonated with shumi's advice. My version is - If you have failed an exam, It feels so much better to know that the majority of class has also failed. Doesn't change the result but the panic and stress fades away!
Interesting take @himanshutanwani_ 😆
Man... I feel like I am a better rider every time I listen to you guys.
I absolutely love the content. The articulation, the calmness and most importantly, the detailed and correct information.
My Sunday routine includes listening to the boys while preparing breakfast.
Have learnt so much from the two of you, which I believe has made me a better rider and driver.
Thank you so much MotorInc ❤
P.S: I agree with Kartikeya about the Figo 1.2 Petrol being a gem of a car, I have it and have driven across India (except the East) 10years, 1,76,000 km and counting.
Heya MV! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Masterclass in content making, this was great episode,
Generally any topic going more than 25-30 mins gets me boring, but this channel is so great.
Some episodes i have watched 2-3 times
Thanks Jayanth! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
I am so glad to listen to this!! A humble request to my inspiration Mr. Shumi is, please suggest a few books to read as I heard u are a voracious book bug that helps build the character and personality and a uniqueness of one's self?
@shumi and @karthi you gave us a great life lesson which we have to adhere to every situation not only when we are on roads
Where to worry and where not to worry,
Difference between money, humans and materials.
How to deal with police in a panic situation
How to establish a good trustworthy relationship with parents and friends.
I have been following these principles already in life and I feel happy to hear from you guys those learning as well
Thank you for joining us @mad0103.
Thank you to both Sumi and Karthik for covering this in so much details.
I used to think what should be done in case of emergencies and have no idea about it. I organise rides with my friends and now that I know what should be done in case of an emergency I am prepared of it. Stay calm, Take Charge, Less worry, You have time and many more lessons.
Tell the truth and truth only. The parenting part is great and the alcohol.
Also for the next podcast the premium segment. Looking forward to that. As Sumi said we must aspire.
Thanks 😊
Thank you for joining us @Kumar.Sanket.
Another great topic for discussion by @motorinc...
On the final day of my vacation in December of last year, I was coming home after seeing some close friends. I was in a rush when I had an accident, hitting a scooter and I flew-off my bike. Fortunately, I just had minor bruises and scratches when I stood up. I looked at the guys on the scooter first, and they weren't hurt at all. A crowd suddenly gathered, so I grabbed my bike and asked the people on the scooter to move off the main road a little to avoid the crowd and the police because I had a flight the following day. After that, we spoke for a time, I called dad and explained him the situation and he came to the location, thankfully the accident happened near to our regular repair workshop so we all went there and as it was my fault, I fixed their scooter and we parted ways...
Well done!! So happy to hear how you worked that out SS.
@@motorinc but that accident really lowered my confidence while riding. I noticed that last April when I went back home. Also, I found the importance of the presence of mind, good brakes, and better headlights...
An absolute masterclass, as always ❤️
Thanks Ninad!
This therapy session was lovely guys 🫂🥹
Thanks for joining us @gururajsawant!
I want to add it's really important to tell your parents the truth. My friends always say you're stupid for not lying / telling your parents everything that you do. Today because of me always telling the truth and being honest to my parents. They know that me despite being in a group of friends who smoke cigarettes our son has never smoked once in his life and none can say otherwise.
Thank you for sharing @ArshadAnsari-lm2du
I sincerely want to give you guys a warm and tight hug . ❤❤ May you two be immortal in the history of RUclips.
Heya DM! For you, for now - 🤗
Woww. This was really needed. These are the conversations needed much more these days. Thanks guys
Our pleasure! Glad it helps, @omcarrides
From 50:00 to the next 2 minutes are just pure therapy session for the middle class Indian parents and children. The dynamics in between Shumi & his parents are a gem
Thank you for joining us @ThunderApache1604V.
This episode has been an absolute gem.
Also, thank you Shumi and Karthik for the expert validation for our style of riding and driving! 🙂

I recently have reignited my passion for bikes thanks to Maharashtra monsoon and you guys have been right there kinda guide me through this rediscovery of my passion! Thanks a lot for being like that one friend who gives correct advice at all times and makes it stick! Love the format, love you guys and love This Connect!
Thank you very much @himanshu384.
perhaps one of the best episode of this season so far, got so much confidence to ride now... & suddenly RSA makes more sense now than ever
Glad we can help, SSD!
A month ago I met with an accident. I was near my house so called my father immediately. Best thing to do as when he took me to the emergency there was a sense that everything will be alright which is now. One thing I want to add in to it is whichever doctor you're consulting with tell him everything what happened and get all the tests necessary to be done. It will save your time and money when you take a second opinion about an injury. Great to see this episode. ❤
Glad you're okay @AweScenicofIndia. Thank you for sharing!
Love to see the Legendary SHOEI Helmets (owned by Shumi) in the background! :D :D
Nothing to add just a quick thank you for this learning experience and for sharing your experience with respect to emergencies.The only thing that I can add is that I would have not landed on this podcast if I hadn't been interested to know about how I should maintain my bike and must say thank you for these podcasts and all the other content you have available.
Thank you for joining us @shubhankittiwari5053!
It is also advisable to understand, what constitutes as an emergency and not panicking about the secondary things that can be taken care of later.
Absolutely!
The rhing about this podcast, is rhat no matter what were discussing, i always come away with a true life lesson that i can write in the margin of my journal and never foeget.
You guys deel like family now.
❤️
Even I follow that worst case scenario possibility in almost all parts of my life. This helps me in preparing for the worst in advance especially while riding/driving. Anticipation is a strong thing that is must while riding as said in previous podcast by our gentlemen.
It would be helpful if you guys make a video on basic first aid reatment in case of an emergency. Always grateful to MotorInc 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for joining us @suryateja2k11.
Man this one hit a chord! A lot of what was said here today, came to me thankfully instinctively earlier this year and that's a reason why i am alive today! @Motorinc you guys are single-handedly improving the quality of discourse in Indian on-road etiquette. I hope someday these discussions become part of main stream discourse which would make India a much safer place for everyone. Thank you!
Hey Suraj! Glad you enjoyed the watch! Get well soon and get back on it!
This is a topic with which I was always on the lookout.
Thankfully, whatever situations I imagined, however worse, was discussed here.
Superb!
The relevance and practicality of this_connect is why I always tune in.
Thank you so much @anubhavsaha5317.
Stoic Shumi & Khatarnak Kartikeya an alternate summary. Really got to know alot of things & yes I'll never lie 💯.
Thank you for joining us @patelfalak.
thank you Shumi, Kartikeya & the team. Great content as always! 🤍
Thank you @suryakrishna4662!
Sense of humour plus thoughtful content is 🔥
Thank you for joining us @owaispervez6232.
This is the kind of discussions that podcasts were made for - informative, anecdotal, and inspiring. ThisConnect never fails to deliver.

In extension to Shumi's point of regulating emotions and not acting out of impulse, I think that will take you far beyond in life than motorcycle riding & emergencies. If you are able to separate emotions from the facts and deal with each individually, your decision making becomes extremely clear and it's very unlikely that the consequences of your actions will surprise you then. Also, first thing they teach in First Aid courses is to breathe and get your own heartbeat in control before helping anyone else - so that's an important life lesson in itself!

We want a longer version of Karthik's piece of choosing your hardships. That is a very interesting way of looking at things instead of just saying that you've got to work hard so that life becomes easy.
Heya Sanmaan! Appreciate the feedback’s and the suggestions! 🙏🏾
I am a doctor by profession..and all of tgeir advices are true..like the one..where safeguard urselves before helping others..
Love the podcasts..so much..
I m not even a biker or a long distance driver..but enjoy their storytelling..
Thanks for the quality content..
Have some doubts about which 2 wheeler to buy..from burgman/cb-shine/shine sp/ntorq/access/yamaha aeroxx
Thanks for watching doc! We'd suggest starting with test rides of all of these as this is a diverse selection of options. Test rides will help you know better about which ones you don't prefer, at the very least. Once you narrow things down, please get back to us with your questions and we'll be happy to help.
@@motorinc sir..i am a freelancing doctor..so need a performance two-wheeler..which has good grip and wonderful average..which doesnt skid..or slip..
Best takeway for me is time flexibility. I always like to be punctual and want things done within time. It's very counter intuitive for someone like that to loose control over time. But as discussed, it really helps. To just think about what's most important in that moment. Another great video team ❤🎉
🤜🏽🤛🏽
This was a really good podcast. My parents thoroughly enjoyed this.
So happy to hear they watched this with you! ❤️
Dare u guys ever miss a sunday video for whatever reason. This has become my sunday coffee ritual. I ll hold u guys accountable for spoiling my weekend 😜
As always incredible
Thanks for including us in your weekend! ♥️
This is very useful discussion. For me it helped me to understand the kind of situations that i am unaware. Also helped to validate the past decision in cricis situation was right or wrong.
I thought…and you guys delivered❤
Can’t think of a better way to start my Saturday morning!
Thank you for joining us @shanepereirs8926.

Glad you enjoyed it @Jeevankumar-ju2nt.
So many life lessons and automobile lessons from sensei Shumi and sensei Karthik. 😊❤❤ Great content as always.
Thanks a ton @satybratapal8977!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been waiting for this topic for a while. I took notes!
Glad it was helpful @Petrol_and_positivity

Thank you for such insights on emergency situations karthik and shumi, will definitely try to implement it on roads the next time.
Best of luck Prithvi!
I am late to this..
But it was worth the TIME I spent here..
Also my dad always said don't worry about machines they can be fixed..
Take care of yourself and the people involved..
Glad you found it helpful, Saish!
Bruh 💀 I came for an educational, funny podcast, I'm going back enlightened, deep introspection, trans, Deja vu. What kind of black magic is this!
@Shumi Sir. The gut feeling is so on point!, I avoided so many fatal incidents with that. Just last week I took an Apache for rent in B'lore for 1 week. I always take the 48 Highway back from work to have some fun riding. One evening it rained, I introspected for a good 15-20 mins, and I ended up not taking the highway that night. To learn the next day that a couple of bike accidents happened that night.
Keep listening… to the gut! 😃
This is the Dad talk i needed desperately 🙂... Thank u guys 🙏
Hey CL! Appreciate it.
Thank you guys for sharing your experiences with us ❤
Our pleasure!
Great content as ever. Thank you so much. Looking forward for the next content as I am aspiring for new himi450 from meteor 350. Although I am very happy with my meteor, I think I'll enjoy the 450 more. Fortunate enough to take a test ride last year at motoverse. Please suggest if I should as this will be my everyday 70km ride (home-office-home) in WEH as well as some tours in between.
This was like therapy, thanks guys
Thank you Rishabh!
A tip for altitude sickness - If you do cardio in the Anaerobic phase (>155 bpm) and VO2-max phase (>175 bpm) for 20mins/day and at least a month consistently, chances of you facing alt sickness is very low. You'll need a fitness tracker (a proper one) and a gym membership for that, and have to actually use it to reap the benefits.
It's a longshot, a very tedious process but helps a long way.
@@vbanner having stayed in ladakh for 2 years I advise strict rest for 2 days and mild walking with elevation climbs from day 3 for and day 6 you are normal good to go and then every 3000ft just acclimatise for 2 days any training would help you till 8000 feet but yes it's good to be fit
Hey @vbanner! It's good to be fit as @DozingDoc says, but AMS is a bit unpredictable and assuming you're fit so it won't affect you is a poor call. Best strategy is to take it easy, work actively on acclimatising and not increase physical exertion until you can breathe as close to normally as possible.
I have travelled more than 40k kilometres all around Kashmir and the rest of North India without even a proper jacket. Always solo and with no preparation, thinking I am invincible. Now that I am a bit older and I have been educating myself about motorcycling, I realize how exceptionally fortunate I have been!
Thanks to you guys I invested in some basic gear (what my pocket could bear) and I have become a much wiser biker. 🙏❤️
Glad to hear that you're trying to do better @wanderkash! Thanks for sharing.
Yay!!!! First time for me seeing a blue hoodie in motor inc
♥️
Hi Shumi & Kartikeya, a lovely and insightful podcast as usual. I was wondering if there could be an episode regarding Riding Gears to educate us regular folks. It's purely my guess but since many of us might not have basic understanding about what to buy for what kind of usage, many may end up buying the wrong thing. Your insight and knowledge would help us to a great extent in understanding riding gears and would make us literate about what to look for; since our eyes can't see what our minds don't know.
Also, it'd be great if you can share the names of some great books that you've read.
Can do! Thanks for the suggestion @arghyapan!
Hi. I’m an airline pilot. I can say from the after listening to the entire episode that a lot of aviation safety elements are so much helpful if applied to road vehicle driving. Would love to discuss them over here. People would appreciate and relate it a lot.
Great! Let's do it Captain!
@motorinc I don’t know how to contact you guys. Please let me know an email😅
Great convos !! :) Would love to hear a discussion on 'how tyres are important' from you guys as it's the most important thing in a car or bike.

"People never rise to the occasion, they fall down to the level of their training."
You can watch all the first aid vids you want, listen to podcasts, even do a first aid course. But if you don't practise till it's as natural as breathing, it WILL fail when you want it to work. Drill. Drill. Drill. Be safe y'all.
PS: Great show as always gents.
Thanks for joining us @LexValidus!
Great job 👏🏼
So much to learn from this episode
