never looked at it that way:o :o :o :D BTW I just got a photobucket acount I saved these pics from2 years from a site it reminded me of a accident I had on a bike. I didn't have a unbrella though I had a suitcase of beer(24 bottles)

[Dude]

I had an accident like that when I was a kid, only there were 2 of us on the bike. Some how I ended up with a couple small scrapes and the other kid ended up in the hospital.

He was out cold in the middle of the street, and rather than move him out of the street they stopped all the traffic until the ambulance came to pick him up.
It was very exciting, someone called the police and the fire department and an ambulance, so everyone was there.

When I was young and foolish, I had a motorcycle. Just a cute little one, but I needed something to get me to my summer job. Anyway, I was out on it going to a mall to shop and a pickup truck was angry I was so slow, I guess, and passed me, but clipped my front tire as he did. Well, I slid right onto the sidewalk. I was SO embarrassed and scraped the heck out of my leg...it hurt...I cried.
Side point: I love how everyone says "Are you ok?" - Like, NO...that hurt.
Anyway, I sold the motorcycle the next day and haven't ridden since. Funny thing, I still have a motorcycle licence...but I wouldn't drive one to save my life.

Ok Bling...you can now comment on lady drivers on motorcycles.

[Dude]

That would be too easy Penny….. I won’t say anything about women drivers. :)


In fact to make you feel better I will tell you how I got my drivers license… When I was 16 I was getting my motorcycle drivers license, and I had a rather large motorcycle that I had just started riding. After the instructor gave me a written test, we went out side and he stood by the door of the building and told me to drive around the building using the streets, and to use hand signals at all the turns.

So I took off, signaling away. But the 2nd turn I was holding my hand up to signal, and was going a little too fast, then the car in front of me slammed on his brakes and there was sand in the road.
So I brought my hand down really fast, and grabbed the handle bars and hit the brakes and started sliding. To keep from hitting the car in front of me, I slid up and out of the street and across a lawn. Then to regain my balance and stop sliding sideways, I hit the gas and chewed up a big section of the lawn but got the motorcycle straightened out. I was sure I had failed so I turned around (still on the lawn) and started back towards the road, to just go home.

Then after I got back to the street and was waiting for a break in the traffic so I could pull off the grass, I realized that all this happened out of the view of the guy giving me the driver’s exam, I had passed the corner of the building before any of this took place.

I looked at how far the road was and I figured if I turned back around and just cut straight across the lawn in between a couple other buildings I could get back on the street on the other side and come around the building in approximately the right about of time.
So I hit the gas spun around and drove all the way across the lawn to the other side and got back on the street and then pulled around the other side of the building like nothing had happened.

The instructor said I did an excellent job, then he looked down and noticed there was dirt and grass stuck in the foot pegs on my motorcycle. So I just looked at him and said “hmmm. I wonder where that came from?” like I didn’t know.

So he passed me and I got my license. :o

Motorcycle tests must be harrowing on purpose. I did my test in a mock little set of roads with signs and stuff...no other traffic. The instructor told me to like, go down the the first stop, turn left, then right and so on. Well, being dirctionally challenged as I am, I totally forgot what he said...so I just drove around a while, until I felt I had been there long enough. I came back and stopped to suddenly and he said "that was an emergency stop"...but by this point I had figured I had failed, so I just waited to be denied.
But, I got it.
The funny thing was there was this guy there taking his test too, and he had this huge machine and seemed really good to me, but he failed. I think I passed 'cause I'm a girl and was on a little 250.

This is an actual story.....


Scooter-Riding Woman Rescued From Drain

By Associated Press

Wed Dec 20, 5:46 UPDATED 1 DAY 10 MINUTES AGO

MIAMI - Authorities rescued a 55-year-old woman who drove a motor scooter into an open storm drain and became trapped about six feet under ground.
The woman's injuries were not life threatening. The woman, who was not identified, apparently took the scooter out around 11 p.m. Tuesday and drove into an uncovered storm drain which was surrounded by orange barricades, according to a report in The Miami Herald. She then became wedged in the hole and could not get out.
"It was actually a good thing that she got wedged like that," said Ignatius Carroll, a fire department spokesman. "There is water at the bottom of that drain. If she fell much farther, she could have drowned."

Thanks. Reminds me of my first experience on a large "English" bike that was too big for me ( couldn't reach the ground from the seat). I didn't know how to use hand brakes, gipped too tight on the front brake and went over the handlebars. Knocked out with half of my face scraped and bloody. It happends with boys thinking they can do anything.
