Sat 25/09 Ride - JazBug5 goes "splat" and tests out her riding gear

[Paul in NZ]

Wowsers!

Bad luck on the dreaded falling down... Not recommended and goodness knows what the shouty man would have made of it! However, you've done it now so nothing to be scared of....

As for the ambo looking away when you dropped your trousers and revealed your G string (whatever the hell that is - I'm assuming a type of small underwear as i doubt you were concealing a guitar in there)

Remember you are no longer just a woman or a motorist... You are a motorcyclist. The ambo would have naturally averted his eyes after years of attended to the abrasions your average male motorcyclists most of whom change the oil in their bikes more often than their daks. He was not so much being discrete as fliching from the memory of a thousand decomposing, baggy, grey and crusty Y fronts and a hundred pairs of combination long johns melding into the skin like some sort of waxy, oily second skin!

Don't take it personally....

Thanks, everyone;

I was indeed a lucky, lucky girl; Paparazzi: the ambo driver was hot in a 'he's so lovely he reminds me of my father...' way...er, not in 'a who's your daddy' kind of way, you understand, just as in terribly terribly nice and might be reading this (hello again nice man) kind of way, babble...babble.
Thanks, Paul; no one is to tell the shouty man. Ever.
He would probably track me down and stand outside my house yelling until he busted a blood vessel somewhere. I'm thinking of his health, you understand...
as for the 'pants' thing, I think I'm going to have to go and be restitched again (note to all; please try to be very, very unfunny for ten days or so... must... not .... laugh...) and you have also put me off investigating the contents of any biker's trousers from now on. Or not without a power hose, wire brush and dettol to hand, anyway.
CSL? Preferred 'sanitising' method?
Well done to everyone at the sprints today; it was a great day, nice to see everyone out, sprinting or no.
And well done especially to the sprint wirgins like Stony and Bruce...
and thanks for the lift, Stony; but do you think you could speed up a bit on those hills next time? Sheesh.

Hmmmmmmm...a good rub down with something that smells nice.

[Mongoose]

Another steep learning curve, crickey at this rate you will be the smartest person on these boards!!
Glad to here your bin was not too bad and the bike survived it reasonabley well too.
Keep smilin', that way they dont know what you realy think

[Two Smoker]

Bad luck on the bin Jaz but glad your all good ive been lucky also, having 5 bins and only minor injuries

[mccool]

As a member of this expedition I can verify that this is a true and accurate account of the adventure. Onya Dave, great pictures. Additional points of information -
1. It was I who got us lost. Twice. I was sure it was around there somewhere.
2. Jaz was pale and shaken for an hour and then rosey cheeked and laughing again. Staunch.
3. I talked to the Ambo guy after Jaz got out. He had just finished patching up some beardy Harley guy when Jaz came along. He had a big smile and a twinkle-eye. In a fatherly sort of way of course.

Ouch, stitches. Sorry to hear about your bin, Jazbug. I hope you heal up soon.

[Paul in NZ]

Ouch, stitches. .

Cool... Stitches.... Ask me about the ones I got from stabbing myself in the groin once...

Any who....

I'll could re-write your story later on and it will involve stuff like chasing down evil P smugglers on a NOS equiped stealth GN250 (really it has an R1 engine in there) and only binning it to save the life of the next Dali Lama (presently incarnated as a duckling) but still managing to take out the bad guys with the GN secret arsenal of super weapons without the rest of the civilians knowing it....

So if you could try to get them to leave a cool scar... Adds credibility to the story - You know, I crashed and burned but I'm still riding style of thing...

(in your cute Scots accent please)

The names Bug! JazBug!

ps. Don't worry about potential scars ruining your love life. If some future person sees it, tell them you got it in a knife fight in a Taipan brodello when some drunken sailor jamed a broken rum bottle in yer guts while you were busy gutting his brother and watch their eyes widen untill they realise you are taking the mickey!

[StoneChucker]

(in your cute Scots accent please)

Aye!

Stony; but do you think you could speed up a bit on those hills next time? Sheesh.

Well I never! I asked EVER so nicely how you were doing, and you said fine, twice :sneaky2: Well then, can you TRY and stay in the middle of the seat next time? Oh oh oh, I WOULD like to have kids oneday... (Stay outta MY seat)

hehehehe, JUST playing, you're a great pillion

[Velox]

Well I have to say that this is all pretty disturbing for two reasons:
1) That's not so nice Jazbug! Hope it's not so stingy now, but that was a good point by Paul about trying to make it scar - rub some ink in it or something! That's real good though that you and your bike aren't too bad. Pity about the riding gear.
2) What were you guys doing hooning around near Palmy and not dropping in to the racing at Manfield around the corner! Oh dear oh dear.

[Velox]

Oh - you were heading that way and didn't get there. Sorry - a bit slow tonight.

[F5 Dave]

Re the jacket rolling up; you could get a decent (read chunky) zip together mod done on them.

Glad you are ok & certainly seemed perky enough yesterday so good on ya for not shying away from jumping on a bike so soon.

[vifferman]

Glad you're not badly hurt, Jazbug. I hope you mend quickly.

Thanks everyone (especially the nice man in the ambulance who looked away very discreetly as I removed my trousers and didn't peek at me in my little g-string at all..)

Yeah, they're good like that. Unlike that mccool, who seems to be very ogly in the 'vampire' pic.
I had to remove my pants after my last bin, too. Spent several hours in the hospital pantsless but most staff were OK about it, apart from one orderly/volunteer who asked me how come I'd lost my pants.

Re the jacket rolling up; you could get a decent (read chunky) zip together mod done on them.

That's a damned good idea. My jacket came with just such a zip, so one of the mods I had done after one of my bins was to have the other half of the zip sewn onto my pants. Not only does it help when you fall down (not that you're going to do it again, eh Jaz? ) but it also stops your jacket riding up and keeps you a bit warmer and more comfy.

[Blakamin]

Good to hear you're up and about!

Ah, Dave, I was just trying a little pillion 'stunting' to try and liven things up! Sorry about the squished bits... I thought you always walked like that...
