That story JUST ABOUT made up for your reference to POWER BAND.... FFS, Jimmy!
Brings back a memory of my first week as an apprentice.
Ken Gibbons (now I'm showing my age) prepared a freshly imported 1992 RS125 (this was 1995, so it was pretty new) for racing the next day, it had oddly low gearing, and he was showing off to the lad (me) and doing a few wheelies down the back of Pacific Motorcycles.
Sure enough, off he comes, right hand side down, jams the throttle open, the bike sits back up, riderless and goes full tit down the ally way, about 200m (yup), across the road, into the Pack n Save car park, straight into the drivers side door of a Yummy Mummies car (They where not called Milfs back then)...... he ended up in Hospital, not a patch on Jimmys story though.
