1 year on - girl with huge road rash story + other threads

That girl has some serious guts and self-certainty. Total BIG UPS to her.

I have always worn full gear. Regarding ACC in New Zealand - the dumb arses pay for some things and not others but in my opinion (and I have been riding 25 years) if you fall off a motorcycle and are not wearing protective, gloves, footwear and at least full trou and a sturdy jacket (helmets a given) - ie there is not any exposed skin, then you should not get paid a bloody cent of my taxes in ACC.

Ditto some drunken arse or fool without a seat-belt in a car.

As for open face helmets - the 'open face' part applies to your chin on impact.

I guess she learned her lesson and hopefully sued the shit of Shaun.

I read this and was utterly shocked... just a bit of an eye opener for any of you who ride without the proper gear (even pillions!!) please take a bit of time to read, as this is something we should all be aware of!

I watched that and I can feel the "smack" when she hits the road.

What a story and what a girl!!

Heh reminds me of the american lass living with me earlier this year who wanted to go pillion to the beach with me, but wanted to wear jandles and a skirt to do so.

Didn't like the fact I told her she was either wearing gear or bussing, but I won out in the end. If I had that link I would've showed it to her.

Not having her mother tear a strip off me if she came a cropper on the back of my bike.

I'd send her that link now if i was on speaking terms haha.

hey Rm, i didnt know it was a repost, and didnt suspect, so SORRY, and you gave me red... you ****hole...

but yeah, i was shocked by this... so i had to post it

**Conquiztador** · 25th June 2007, 21:49

If this helps one pillon to not get scarred for life it is worth it. So some discretion re reds might be in place??

And I had never seen this before and if not reposted I would probably never have seen it...

**Cr1MiNaL** · 25th June 2007, 22:25
