Ouch! Poor woman! Dressed so inappropriately that HAD to hurt.


A mate of mine caught me unawares, popping a wheelie with me sitting on the back - hands resting on my thighs.

I fell backwards and my legs whacked and lodged under each of his armpits - almost dislodging his hands from the grips. My head was only a foot or two off the road when he slammed on the brakes and I was catapulted forwards and upwards - hitting my helmet against the back of his. Hard.

"I suppose you think that was funny? You SPANKER!"

Ouch - wonder how she made out?

The least he could do is fall off with her...
...Which reminds me of my rider/girlfriend wheelie combo fall off. It was at night on a Yam 400 enduro in the dirt. We were climbing a hill, and hit a big bump, and we go flying, neither of us hurt. It was rather funny.

I did the exact thing to a buddy of mine once but totally on accident. I pulled into a shopping center then grabbed a little too much throttle forgetting about the extra weight of a passenger on the back. Before I realized what happened I saw two legs flying past my head. So I hit the brakes hard and those legs went into reverse then came the body slam against my back..! Thankfully he was a good friend (with a sense of humor) and we had a good laugh about it afterward.

Hmmm. That isn't the first time I was caught out like that (you'd think I'd have learnt my lesson).

A girlfriend of mine did the very same thing right in front of a packed beer garden of a pub we were passing (summer's evening on a Friday). Same scenario except this time I fell off and did some spectacular 40 mph forward rolls down the tarmac. My helmet acted as leverage and tucked my head right into my throat - almost snapping my neck. Five times I rolled - eventually losing momentum and sliding the last ten foot or so on my arse in a car driving position. During all this the totally packed beer garden rose as one from their benches and vented a collective horrified gasp.

Almost completely uninjured (apart from my tattered dignity) I lay back on the tarmac - cars swerving all around me and feigned death until one of the following bikes in our group stopped - wherupon I leapt on the pillion before anyone at the pub could recognize the clown with the bleeding buttocks and smouldering denim cutoffs.


Another time a friend of mine popped a wheelie on his KH250 with full bodykit (nothing to hold onto). This time my feet slipped off the pegs and onto the tarmac, being long-legged the bike simply roared away from between my legs - with me suddenly running behind at about 30 mph. I managed about fifty feet before my legs and mind completely lost the plot and my knees buckled. I think that was probably the most embarrassing getoff because it was right in town and I had to walk through my audience of delighted spectators.
