Dastaar On Motorbike U.k.


Recommended Posts

VJKKVJKF

My dad is going for his motorbike practical, and he ties a Dumalla, so he doesn't want to wear a helmet,

he wants to stay on the safe side; so no problems arise in the test.

Can someone please give me document/file I can print stating what the UK law is about dastaars on motorbikes,

so he can show it to his observer etc.

Thanks in advance.

I personally think in terms of safety your dad should wear a helmet on a motorbike cos I was on the back of my mates with a dastaar tied and it didn't seem safe at all especially when goin round corners if it was to swing out or something then a dastaaar wouldn't protect you from a practical point of view

As an Amritdhari your father has a choice on whether he wears a helmet or not.

Millions of people around the world, who are not Amritdhari, ride a Motor bike without a helmet.

Some Sikhs wear a helmet, others, like you Veer Ji, can only wear a Dastaar and not replace it or cover it - RESPECT !!!

With all due respect I'm not saying that you should replace your dastaar with a helmet however it would be better protection in case of accident which seems more logical if there was an accident

These are the kind of 'logical' ppl who laugh at stories or WW1 Sikhs picking bullets out of their turbans as not being 'protected'...

.. No one and nothing will protect you from dharam raj if it's ur time my friend. In the interim don't compromise Kalgidhar jis dastar. Sardaris weren't cheap. They came after giving heads. Don't let fear take them after Amrit.

Akaaaaal!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
