Poclain Machine Helps Motorcyclists Cross Dangerous Stream
Riding a motorcycle is already a very dangerous yet exhilarating experience. However, making it even more dangerous is riding in the monsoon on mountain roads when the weather is extremely unpredictable. Recently, a video of a motorcycle getting help from a Poclain machine on a very strongly flowing stream has been shared online. In this clip, the machine can be seen slowing down the water so that the bike can be quickly taken across.
Poclain machine helping bikers
This video, showing the unique way in which the Poclain machine helped this biker, has been shared on Instagram by One Crazy Guy on their page. In this short clip, we can first see that a few riders first stand on the Poclain machine and then cross the stream of water, which was flowing very strongly. Soon after this, the video shows that this group of bikers was pushing a Bajaj Dominar 400 motorcycle across the stream.
Now, as the Poclain is a very huge machine with massive tracks and it weighs a lot, the stream is slowing down. Using the help of this, the motorcycle was able to get pushed by the riders. It can be noted that the driver of the machine was moving it slowly so that the bikers did not get swept away. Finally, the bike was taken across this stream successfully.
In addition to this video, the same creator and bike rider has shared another video in which they were first sitting inside the bucket of this heavy-duty machine. These people were then taken across the stream, and once again, the machine was used as a barrier to slow down the fast-moving water. This time around, the riders were seen pushing a Hero Xpulse adventure motorcycle across the stream.
Where did this take place?
As per the post shared online, this particular water crossing is called the 21 No Nala, and it is located on the route to Dong Valley in Arunachal Pradesh. The rider has mentioned in his post that when going from Assam to Dong Valley, this obstacle is one of the worst ones to cross during the monsoon season.
However, with the help of this Poclain machine, they were able to cross it. In the same post, the bike rider thanked the machine driver for his help. He stated that without the help of this machine, it would have been impossible for them to cross this stream, as just a few days ago, a Maruti Suzuki WagonR got swept away by this stream.
In addition to this, the biker, in his post, has highlighted that although it is very exhilarating to cross such a dangerous stream, it has to be noted that it is very dangerous, and people taking on the adventure of riding a motorcycle on this route during the monsoon should do so at their discretion.
Never attempt to cross rivers or streams alone
Over the last few years, we have seen numerous videos online in which many overconfident people have tried crossing high-speed flowing streams of water with their bikes and cars. However, in a lot of cases, these people have faced defeat, and as a result, they have been swept away. So, it is our advice that when you come across such a crossing, always avoid crossing.
