    Embrassment?!?

    So I am the super dude of the house and I ride a GSX600 and am the man.

    So its raining and my youngest boy decides to take off up the street on his bike (fuck knows why).

    So I jump on my oldest boys pushbike and take off after him and highside it coming out of the driveway... with my wife and oldest boy watching.


    Too much power for such a novice rider. I going back to my GSX. Something I can handle!.

    ouch

    People who drive cars don't realise that the most common crash injury when riding 2 wheels, is bruised ego, and injured pride.
    I have suffered aplenty.

    I highsided my pushbike about a week before getting my motorbike.

    The road hurts when you are wearing tee shirt and shorts, and have no gloves on...

    Yeah, this was my thought to. My worst two-wheeled pain is definitely from a push-bike also though.

    Get a pushbike that is 400 times too small for you.

    get a smooth piece of driveway

    add water

    a touch of gravel

    Add as much ego until the desired effect.

    for me it was when the chain de-railed while I was powering my way out of the driveway, leaning into the corner like rossi. I was just flicked onto the road

    I never even had pedals - damn kids scooters.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Ask TS about pushbike crashes.

    There was the one where he cartwheeled and took off the top of a 2m tall sapling, probably the most notable.... Then the stitches in the arm and the letterbox.... etc

    There was the one where Milky got speed wobbles on a very small bike and cartwheeled into the road, with the bike flying over him (that was quite a while ago).....

    There was the one where I lowsided on a big diamond plate in the wet at 30-odd kmh (slightly cut knee, bandaged up at the glass shop across the road, and carried on into town - damage, what damage?)


    mmmm pushbikes......
    Queiro voya todo Europa con mi moto.... pero no tengo suficiente tiempo o dinero.....
