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 ❤️❤️
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!🤜🏾🤛🏾
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
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). 😊
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 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.
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
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 !!!
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 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 🙂
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... 😊
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 😊
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.
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!
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.
“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. 👏
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤
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.
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.
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
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 🙂👏
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!
@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
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 🙏🏻❤️
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...
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!
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?
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!
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!
In the NCC they always teach you a few Things - First Aid is to access a situation and try stalling it atleast till the Actual Help Arrives. - You are not God so therefore you can never save everyone, always try to accept that there are going to be some losses ( In case of riding Bikes Be ready to accept the Loss of the Bike rather than the person. - If any of your buddies is down DO NOT Rush. First check if it is safe for yourself to go there and help him. Otherwise if you go down trying to get to him Then Who is going to help you and your buddy. No One It'll be actually Fatal for both of you, - Do not Rush . Do not open fire on every slight of movements. Take time to acknowledge what it is. If it's not an intruder and you fired, you'd rather inform the intruder about you position and that's a state you definitely do not want to be. - Remember to genuinely trust your machine (guns and ammunitions) but in this case your bikes. They can actually handle more of a stress than you can possibly imagine. They have been engineered keeping in mind such conditions. - Never Lie. Always report back what you saw and what you did. You may think getting shot in the leg won't be that big of an issue but better believe It'll become a huge Burden in case of emergencies. - always Be Calm and have an Open Mind. You'll sometimes literally be able to see the solutions right before your eyes, which you wouldn't have if you were stressed about it. Thanks MotorInc and the Team to pass on these knowledge, and as we can see It applies to the Life as a whole not just during riding or such. and always Be Calm. Stay Safe Ride Safe Buddies.😃😃❤
Ok i want to say something, that’s bugging me with every other video. Every content creator will put 30sec teaser of the content with freaky music before starting the video. They put some controversy clips in them and speed cut with Serial Music. You open any current they do that, that’s a big turn off. You create the content and hold the audience naturally not by putting clickbait teaser in the beginning of the video. You guys don’t do that. Much respect . Sorry i had to let this out.
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.
To all those who is watching this... when an accident happens... first make sure you and your loved ones are safe and then care for the other party who is involved in accident... get the person to hospital yourself if you hav a dash cam... or else ask any bystander to take him to a hospital and you get all the evidence as you can from the scene of accidnet... video pics... of vehicle at the time of accident... Important: no police is gona come in time or wont even show up ,bcos they are already piled up with other cases... so we have to do major work... make sure all your documents are valid... and dont hesitate to go for a case ...and if yoir car is above 7 years , insirenc eis only gona cover 50 percent..other 50 you have to giv it from your pocket... I have heard ppl saying qonderful things abt dash cam... it will only help you to prove that you didnt do wrong... getting koney from other person is whole.lot another issue... and if tht guy is not finantial stable (which happened in my case) you will be look at a wall... you not gona get anythin... may be a percent which wont even cover your effort to fule a case... always think the police wont do anything... so if they acutally do you il be happy... in my case lockly the accident was recoded by a cctv camrra of near by building...which i informed and asked them to retrive the footage... and if ther isnt any cauality then non one have to keep the vehilce . You can drive of. So next time you toichna buke guy and he says big thing..just take him to police staion and tell him to file a case...
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.
I ride/drive my vehicles like being in Multiverse. Always thinking about multiple outcomes of every situation and finding the best solution before anything happens. Crazy! But works...
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.
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.
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.
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 😊
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.
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.
For all the girlies out there riding solo ..... always always stop at a petrol pump on the highways every pitstop call the closest people and keep updating share your live location till you reach your destination always ask help from family group rather than single strange person (out of experience) If you feel somebody is following you directly drive into the nearest police station keep all the emergency numbers written in small notebook including the RSA number. always split the cash and cards in two wallets, keeping it in two different places. learn the basic repairs in motocycles ( there are videos on how to fix simple things on youtube) Few things which could be help full fun riding ❤
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!
Just had an accident today was riding to office, luckily nothing major( as in fatal or something with dire consequences, shaft fracture at fibula)but I made a couple of mistakes both in terms of rescuing myself and being proactive where this could have been avoided. So here's the summary an auto was parked couple of meters ahead of left turn at junction I take the left and I tend to stick to left side of the road as I ride a little slower this auto wala decides that he wants to get going without checking behind and since it was electric scooter he didn't had an auditory feedback 2 mistakes could have taken more space & should have honked preemptively both could be solved by a mindset shift I own the road as much as the other guy so being polite enough is fine Mistakes in rescue did an hurried inspection of injuries and the leg felt restricted due to riding shoes and adrenaline not outright fibula broken in half so ended up going alone to the hospital and walked from reception to ortho Mistakes: underestimated the injuries in adrenaline rush Didn't call for help
Back in 2008, i was in my 12th grade and i was out with my friends for a birthday party. My parents had bought me an apache rtr160. My friend who also had an rtr160 forced me participate in a drag race, initially to which I said no. But he managed to convince me and I said yes. So I was ahead of him and riding adjacent to the road divider and I was kept looking backward to see how far he's behind. And it was a curvy road. I was riding @125kmph and hit the curve of divider without even realising. I basically flew and landed on the ramp of the house across the road. Luckily i landed on my back and didn't hit the back of my head. Within a fraction of seconds i got up and looked at the the bike which was completely destroyed and said to myself shit my parents will find out that I crashed, i had few bruises nothing major. But i was terrified by the thought that my mum will faint because she's so sensitive. Something in me brought ne me back to my senses and i called my dad that told him look i am fine its just that i won't be able to ride the bike back to home because i had just fallen, so you have to come and pick me up. And that's it. They immediately focused on making sure you are okay and what to do to pace of my recovery. P.S:- Never lie about your situation and try not to panic. [(my parents never let me go out without the helmet and I was obedient enough to wear it every time. But that night I left my helmet on my bike and it got stolen)] I guess that accident was meant to teach me a lesson and since that day i am always cautious and never ride without helmet or race unnecessarily. Thanks motorinc for these valuable lessons ❤
Imagining the worst case scenario regarding humans is the best suggestion. We must remember vehicle insurance is mandated by the government, but health and life insurance isn't.
"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.
Please talk about city rides in monsoon. Do i add a top rack? Do i carry the rain gear in a backpack? Do i carry extra pair of shoes? As i wear formal shoes to office. I m unable to think through and unable to decide to get a new bike as i m taking my car to work these days.
The TN number plate bit is massively on the rise. My friends and I had rented a car in Bangalore to drive to Pondicherry. We were in some place within Tamil Nadu, driving on the left lane about 70-80. A random person on a bike coming from the other side just spat on our windshield hurling abuses. There is something similar happening in Bangalore where there is so much rage on the road against folks from other places. Not trying to blame anyone, or any region or anything but yes there are some trouble makers who are doing this quite a lot to a point where it's quite scary to let my loved ones go out there on the streets alone on their vehicles. Just keeping our egos in check definitely helps, and letting it slide with a smile goes a long way. The moment you get into "come see me outside" sort of a mindset, things get much worse.
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.
At 26:00 this is so true, whenever I get stopped by police for something I call them anna or bhai so it is still respectful but doesn't inflate their ego.
4:17 Shumi, this may not be the right space to talk about fashion but that blue jacket you’re wearing is dope. Where did you cop it? Also, your fashion sense 💯 always
Thank you Team for this video. Just want to narrate an incident which happened to me 3 years back. I was getting late to office so I booked a Quick ride app bike ride. The rider came and he didn’t have an additional helmet and I agreed to go with him as I was getting late(wrong decision). This scooter rider was speeding in narrow alleys and I told him multiple times to slow down but he said Sir I know these alleys inside out and suddenly I saw a bike merging and hitting our scooter and I was just thrown out of the bike and my head hit the road. My head started bleeding . My vision got impaired immediately and no bystander helped. Later we went on the same scooter to nearby hospital and got stitches Moral of the Story: If your gut says something isn’t right then don’t do it and always wear a helmet. If you ever get into an unfortunate accident Just take deep breaths for 5 minutes as your body would be in state of shock don’t try to stand up and try walking as there would be adrenaline dump or your fight or flight response get more aggrevated
@@motorinc ☺️. I have a question but not related to this. I recently saw a person adding 2T oil sachet into the petrol tank of his Access 125. I got curious and asked him why he added the oil as I remember my uncle adding oil to his M80 bike in childhood. To that the man said to make the engine more smooth and get more mileage. Is it true? Does 2T oil for 4 stroke engines make it smooth?
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.
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 ❤❤❤❤
During my school days I always thought that official trainings & tests for a driver's license involved discussions about emergency situations like accidents, at least in terms of documents required like vehicle's papers, PUC, etc. if not injury, breakdown or first aid. Considering that it doesn't happen yet I feel the RTOs have to pay you guys for doing their job.
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
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.
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..
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 ❤🎉
frm this i learned more about being a good human being than a emergency situation em i in wrong 😅. .... they should do more like this where they share their life stories and give takes on em..
I remember being in two brutal accidents (2018), in a span of 3 months, AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT! Both were late night (10:30-11ish) casual rides (one on a scooter, one on a bike, no ABS on either). Lost traction twice on the same curve, and I couldn’t understand why! I was so horrified of that place, that I just didn’t want to take the same road and pass by the same curve ever again. Sometimes the mental trauma these accidents can give is beyond explanation. It was only after 2-3 weeks of recovering from the second accident that I finally mustered the courage to go to that spot and retrospect what went wrong twice. Went during daytime and spoke to some nearby people. Realised that accidents were common at night because every evening, trucks filled with sand, dirt and fine pebbles would load at a nearby construction site and drop a little on these curves. Street lights were ambient and on the side of the road so there was little to no chance of seeing these very fine grains of dust and pebbles on an otherwise, good quality tarmac. Point being, accidents will happen and crashes will occur! It is all a part of the learning curve. (PS: I was wearing a helmet on both the occasions!)
Another fantastic conversation. Can absolutely relate to most of the points made by both. Especially the police station theatrics. In an incident involving a bike crash with a car, the SHO told us in as many terms as possible that they don't have time to deal with this and better to settle among ourselves, otherwise the same will get dragged in court. Despite being from the non-native region and the other party was trying to extract the maximum benefit out of the situation, the police was really helpful. Finally one of the officer had a good chat with us, even bought us chai in the local shop outside the premises. Lot of life lessons to learn from such conversations and experiences from you guys. We can see the chemistry between Shumi and Kartikeya, which shows up in many parts of the conversation which smoothens the flow of the conversation. Kudos. Keep it up. We would like to have more such episodes on informative topics. Just curious, is the entire conversation impromptu or rehearsed?

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! ❤️
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!🤜🏾🤛🏾
Man, came for motor content and came away with parenting, and life advice.
This is why we love Motorinc.
Glad to hear that @leakedzebra.
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
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.
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 think you guys can make a children's educational show called 'The Adventures of Little Shumi'😆
🤣
Lol, good one!
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!
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
Came here for gaining knowledge on dealing with emergencies and along with it got smashing hacks for life as a Bonus !!!

Thanks SP!
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 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!
Family therapy session was not on my bingo card …. 😂😂
😅
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

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!
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).
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.
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.

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.

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!
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!
Being a new driver watching you makes me a lot more sensible and responsible out there. Thankful
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!
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.
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.
That example Shumi says during the Tell your Family part of the video, is so good. Honesty and being straight forward is always better.
Papa Shumi and uncle Kartikey coming again w9th a banging episode.

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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Man... I feel like I am a better rider every time I listen to you guys.
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.
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!
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_ 😆
@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.
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!
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.
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...
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!
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?
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!
This therapy session was lovely guys 🫂🥹
Thanks for joining us @gururajsawant!
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!
Thank you very much @himanshu384.
In the NCC they always teach you a few Things
- First Aid is to access a situation and try stalling it atleast till the Actual Help Arrives.
- You are not God so therefore you can never save everyone, always try to accept that there are going to be some losses
( In case of riding Bikes Be ready to accept the Loss of the Bike rather than the person.
- If any of your buddies is down DO NOT Rush. First check if it is safe for yourself to go there and help him. Otherwise if you go down trying to get to him Then Who is going to help you and your buddy. No One It'll be actually Fatal for both of you,
- Do not Rush . Do not open fire on every slight of movements. Take time to acknowledge what it is. If it's not an intruder and you fired, you'd rather inform the intruder about you position and that's a state you definitely do not want to be.
- Remember to genuinely trust your machine (guns and ammunitions) but in this case your bikes. They can actually handle more of a stress than you can possibly imagine. They have been engineered keeping in mind such conditions.
- Never Lie. Always report back what you saw and what you did. You may think getting shot in the leg won't be that big of an issue but better believe It'll become a huge Burden in case of emergencies.
- always Be Calm and have an Open Mind. You'll sometimes literally be able to see the solutions right before your eyes, which you wouldn't have if you were stressed about it.
Thanks MotorInc and the Team to pass on these knowledge, and as we can see It applies to the Life as a whole not just during riding or such.
and always Be Calm.
Stay Safe Ride Safe Buddies.😃😃❤
Hey DT! Thanks for sharing your lessons. 🙏🏾
A friend is the only one who sticks with you.... EVEN IF YOU"VE DONE WRONG.
Ok i want to say something, that’s bugging me with every other video. Every content creator will put 30sec teaser of the content with freaky music before starting the video. They put some controversy clips in them and speed cut with Serial Music. You open any current they do that, that’s a big turn off. You create the content and hold the audience naturally not by putting clickbait teaser in the beginning of the video.
You guys don’t do that. Much respect .
Sorry i had to let this out.
Glad you got it out of your system, @IdlyVada! Glad you're enjoying the MotorInc experience!
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! 🙏🏾
An absolute masterclass, as always ❤️
Thanks Ninad!
To all those who is watching this... when an accident happens... first make sure you and your loved ones are safe and then care for the other party who is involved in accident... get the person to hospital yourself if you hav a dash cam... or else ask any bystander to take him to a hospital and you get all the evidence as you can from the scene of accidnet... video pics... of vehicle at the time of accident...
Important: no police is gona come in time or wont even show up ,bcos they are already piled up with other cases... so we have to do major work... make sure all your documents are valid... and dont hesitate to go for a case ...and if yoir car is above 7 years , insirenc eis only gona cover 50 percent..other 50 you have to giv it from your pocket...
I have heard ppl saying qonderful things abt dash cam... it will only help you to prove that you didnt do wrong... getting koney from other person is whole.lot another issue... and if tht guy is not finantial stable (which happened in my case) you will be look at a wall... you not gona get anythin... may be a percent which wont even cover your effort to fule a case... always think the police wont do anything... so if they acutally do you il be happy... in my case lockly the accident was recoded by a cctv camrra of near by building...which i informed and asked them to retrive the footage... and if ther isnt any cauality then non one have to keep the vehilce . You can drive of. So next time you toichna buke guy and he says big thing..just take him to police staion and tell him to file a case...
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!
I ride/drive my vehicles like being in Multiverse. Always thinking about multiple outcomes of every situation and finding the best solution before anything happens. Crazy! But works...
Love to see the Legendary SHOEI Helmets (owned by Shumi) in the background! :D :D
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..
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! 😃
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😅
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.
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. 🙏🏾
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 can listen to both talking about motorcycles anytime... Keep up the good work.
Thank you for joining us @prada9526!
For all the girlies out there riding solo .....
always always stop at a petrol pump on the highways
every pitstop call the closest people and keep updating
share your live location till you reach your destination
always ask help from family group rather than single strange person (out of experience)
If you feel somebody is following you directly drive into the nearest police station
keep all the emergency numbers written in small notebook including the RSA number.
always split the cash and cards in two wallets, keeping it in two different places.
learn the basic repairs in motocycles ( there are videos on how to fix simple things on youtube)
Few things which could be help full
fun riding ❤
Wonderful tips @yash24989! Thanks for sharing.
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!
Just had an accident today was riding to office, luckily nothing major( as in fatal or something with dire consequences, shaft fracture at fibula)but I made a couple of mistakes both in terms of rescuing myself and being proactive where this could have been avoided.
So here's the summary an auto was parked couple of meters ahead of left turn at junction I take the left and I tend to stick to left side of the road as I ride a little slower this auto wala decides that he wants to get going without checking behind and since it was electric scooter he didn't had an auditory feedback
2 mistakes could have taken more space & should have honked preemptively both could be solved by a mindset shift I own the road as much as the other guy so being polite enough is fine
Mistakes in rescue did an hurried inspection of injuries and the leg felt restricted due to riding shoes and adrenaline not outright fibula broken in half so ended up going alone to the hospital and walked from reception to ortho
Mistakes: underestimated the injuries in adrenaline rush
Didn't call for help
Back in 2008, i was in my 12th grade and i was out with my friends for a birthday party. My parents had bought me an apache rtr160. My friend who also had an rtr160 forced me participate in a drag race, initially to which I said no. But he managed to convince me and I said yes. So I was ahead of him and riding adjacent to the road divider and I was kept looking backward to see how far he's behind. And it was a curvy road. I was riding @125kmph and hit the curve of divider without even realising. I basically flew and landed on the ramp of the house across the road. Luckily i landed on my back and didn't hit the back of my head. Within a fraction of seconds i got up and looked at the the bike which was completely destroyed and said to myself shit my parents will find out that I crashed, i had few bruises nothing major. But i was terrified by the thought that my mum will faint because she's so sensitive. Something in me brought ne me back to my senses and i called my dad that told him look i am fine its just that i won't be able to ride the bike back to home because i had just fallen, so you have to come and pick me up. And that's it. They immediately focused on making sure you are okay and what to do to pace of my recovery.
P.S:- Never lie about your situation and try not to panic.
[(my parents never let me go out without the helmet and I was obedient enough to wear it every time. But that night I left my helmet on my bike and it got stolen)] I guess that accident was meant to teach me a lesson and since that day i am always cautious and never ride without helmet or race unnecessarily.
Thanks motorinc for these valuable lessons ❤
Scary! Glad you were okay!
Imagining the worst case scenario regarding humans is the best suggestion. We must remember vehicle insurance is mandated by the government, but health and life insurance isn't.
"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!
Please talk about city rides in monsoon. Do i add a top rack? Do i carry the rain gear in a backpack?
Do i carry extra pair of shoes? As i wear formal shoes to office. I m unable to think through and unable to decide to get a new bike as i m taking my car to work these days.
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.
The TN number plate bit is massively on the rise. My friends and I had rented a car in Bangalore to drive to Pondicherry. We were in some place within Tamil Nadu, driving on the left lane about 70-80. A random person on a bike coming from the other side just spat on our windshield hurling abuses.
There is something similar happening in Bangalore where there is so much rage on the road against folks from other places.
Not trying to blame anyone, or any region or anything but yes there are some trouble makers who are doing this quite a lot to a point where it's quite scary to let my loved ones go out there on the streets alone on their vehicles.
Just keeping our egos in check definitely helps, and letting it slide with a smile goes a long way. The moment you get into "come see me outside" sort of a mindset, things get much worse.
Yup! The first step of resolving a conflict is to de-escalate and that needs you to suspend the idea that you are right at least temporarily
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.
At 26:00 this is so true, whenever I get stopped by police for something I call them anna or bhai so it is still respectful but doesn't inflate their ego.
4:17 Shumi, this may not be the right space to talk about fashion but that blue jacket you’re wearing is dope. Where did you cop it?
Also, your fashion sense 💯 always
Alternate Learning: In the story, the girlfriend married him to remind him of the burn scar for the rest of her life.
Can listen to kartikeya and shumi listen all day everyday, please keep up with the amazing content and ride safe
Thank you Team for this video. Just want to narrate an incident which happened to me 3 years back. I was getting late to office so I booked a Quick ride app bike ride. The rider came and he didn’t have an additional helmet and I agreed to go with him as I was getting late(wrong decision). This scooter rider was speeding in narrow alleys and I told him multiple times to slow down but he said Sir I know these alleys inside out and suddenly I saw a bike merging and hitting our scooter and I was just thrown out of the bike and my head hit the road. My head started bleeding . My vision got impaired immediately and no bystander helped. Later we went on the same scooter to nearby hospital and got stitches
Moral of the Story: If your gut says something isn’t right then don’t do it and always wear a helmet.
If you ever get into an unfortunate accident Just take deep breaths for 5 minutes as your body would be in state of shock don’t try to stand up and try walking as there would be adrenaline dump or your fight or flight response get more aggrevated
Thanks for sharing @lestendsouza9395. We're glad that you got help at the right time!
@@motorinc ☺️. I have a question but not related to this. I recently saw a person adding 2T oil sachet into the petrol tank of his Access 125. I got curious and asked him why he added the oil as I remember my uncle adding oil to his M80 bike in childhood. To that the man said to make the engine more smooth and get more mileage. Is it true? Does 2T oil for 4 stroke engines make it smooth?
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!
expierences you people share on thisconnect are very great
Glad to hear that Himanshu!
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!
Sense of humour plus thoughtful content is 🔥
Thank you for joining us @owaispervez6232.
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 ❤❤❤❤
You're welcome @VishnuVck!
During my school days I always thought that official trainings & tests for a driver's license involved discussions about emergency situations like accidents, at least in terms of documents required like vehicle's papers, PUC, etc. if not injury, breakdown or first aid.
Considering that it doesn't happen yet I feel the RTOs have to pay you guys for doing their job.
We wish these things were part of the standardised training @reubendias18. Just the very basics would do! One day we shall get there.🤞🏾
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!
This episode has been an absolute gem.
Also, thank you Shumi and Karthik for the expert validation for our style of riding and driving! 🙂
Our pleasure, Athul!
thank you Shumi, Kartikeya & the team. Great content as always! 🤍
Thank you @suryakrishna4662!
dude, your taking these automobile podcast to next level🔥🔥🔥
Thank you @s.saidhanush7984
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.
❤️
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!
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 ❤🎉
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Yay!!!! First time for me seeing a blue hoodie in motor inc
♥️
So many life lessons and automobile lessons from sensei Shumi and sensei Karthik. 😊❤❤ Great content as always.
Thanks a ton @satybratapal8977!
I thought…and you guys delivered❤
Can’t think of a better way to start my Saturday morning!
Thank you for joining us @shanepereirs8926.
frm this i learned more about being a good human being than a emergency situation em i in wrong 😅. .... they should do more like this where they share their life stories and give takes on em..
To each their own @snowcat8674!
amazing episode, lot of take aways. Thank You.
Getting slowly addicted to your content :D looking forward to the next episode!
Glad you enjoyed it @Jeevankumar-ju2nt.
I remember being in two brutal accidents (2018), in a span of 3 months, AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT! Both were late night (10:30-11ish) casual rides (one on a scooter, one on a bike, no ABS on either). Lost traction twice on the same curve, and I couldn’t understand why! I was so horrified of that place, that I just didn’t want to take the same road and pass by the same curve ever again. Sometimes the mental trauma these accidents can give is beyond explanation. It was only after 2-3 weeks of recovering from the second accident that I finally mustered the courage to go to that spot and retrospect what went wrong twice. Went during daytime and spoke to some nearby people. Realised that accidents were common at night because every evening, trucks filled with sand, dirt and fine pebbles would load at a nearby construction site and drop a little on these curves. Street lights were ambient and on the side of the road so there was little to no chance of seeing these very fine grains of dust and pebbles on an otherwise, good quality tarmac. Point being, accidents will happen and crashes will occur! It is all a part of the learning curve. (PS: I was wearing a helmet on both the occasions!)
Heya VR! Good that you put it to rest. And stay safe!
@@motorinc Thank You!
Another fantastic conversation. Can absolutely relate to most of the points made by both. Especially the police station theatrics. In an incident involving a bike crash with a car, the SHO told us in as many terms as possible that they don't have time to deal with this and better to settle among ourselves, otherwise the same will get dragged in court. Despite being from the non-native region and the other party was trying to extract the maximum benefit out of the situation, the police was really helpful. Finally one of the officer had a good chat with us, even bought us chai in the local shop outside the premises. Lot of life lessons to learn from such conversations and experiences from you guys. We can see the chemistry between Shumi and Kartikeya, which shows up in many parts of the conversation which smoothens the flow of the conversation. Kudos. Keep it up. We would like to have more such episodes on informative topics. Just curious, is the entire conversation impromptu or rehearsed?
Hi AA! Glad you are enjoying the conversations. That’s what they are. Just an easy chat.
