OMG. That must have been so sore. You know, this morning I’d taken the bike to the local dealer for a MOT. It’s only ½ mile but I still remember the words of a physiotherapist (another story smashed finger dropped bike on high camber) saying slides, falls can happen even going to the local shops. So I always wear my full kit.
Thanks for posting.
Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Me thinks its time i hang up the leggins and bomber jacket and get some proper gear......Tempted fate far tooooo long..
And i know im stupid ok!!!!!!!
Geoff that was an excellent article to post - I only hope people take notice and dress appropriately. Since I posted a thread about open or full faced helmets I will never wear an open faced again. So I truly hope this article hits home about clothing.
Poor girl, yes she was stupid, but no-one deserves that. Very emotional reading for a mum just about to let her youngest on the back of a bike, but she will be wearing full kit.
How well do you know the rider?
Maybe, just maybe, a word in his ear along the lines of " if anything happens to my daughter, I will cut your balls off and feed them to ..."
I also have a dorta, and have a father's protective instincs.
It's OK XK, it's her dad that will be taking her, on a bike with full luggage protection and he used to do motorcycle instruction so she is in safe hands, it's just the other idiots out there we have to worry about.
