Had some crazy fun in that thing.

I’ve been wiped out by a girl doing a u turn in a Fiesta while I was filtering - that hurt; mouse was at least as annoyed as me as it was his bike 🤭 Ambition often outweighs talent for your average motorcyclist - and seeing as its far easier to fall off a bike than a car many end up having an excursion into the undergrowth - me included as a youngster! Bit of a Casey stoner quote there I believe. Undergrowth is a bikers friend, it’s the trees I avoid 😀. Once upon a time I was following 3 mates on various peds. First bike went into hedge, two more, including me followed. How we laughed. Nah, mouse mate Captain Birdseye used to come out with some crackers like that — he’s been a motorcyclist since the dawn of time (or at least the early 50’s!) I can remember him saying to me when I was 16 ‘remember boy, a licence is a privilege not a right - treat it as such’ shame more don’t get pearls of wisdom like that

Gazza said "I’ve been wiped out by a girl doing a u turn in a Fiesta while I was filtering - that hurt; mouse was at least as annoyed as me as it was his bike 🤭" Still miss that little ol bike. Should never have let him borrow it. Nowt so clear as hindsight.

Not me as I was too busy with boats as a teenager (was 15 in 1989) but a few of the boys at school were playing with the fs1e and Suzuki ap50 derestricting them I'm sure someone got 50 miles an hour out of an ap50.

it does seem a good list. Any broken bones? My friend smashed his leg up in 1978. A side impact with a motorcar at traffic lights. Reason I mention it is he was on a GT750. the water cooled one. One of the bikes on jimmy list. Being a stubborn bugger he left hospital too early and has been stuck with a gammy leg ever since.. Its something which has always put me off motorbikes. almost everyone I have met who was a keen biker has had bad accidents. One bloke I met once broke his back (a bit extreme) another one was on bike with his woman and had an accident which hospitalised both of them. It didn't put him off to be fair. Another one got a broken leg riding an MZ then there was one who was not wearing a helmet and ended up needing plastic surgery to his face. All rather shocking. I guess for all these people there will be loads and loads who never had any trouble at all. Got hit by a Volvo at a set of traffic lights was a side impact he hit the side of me dragged me down the side of the car and my arm broke on the window post of the rear passenger door.
