    I've actually had the same thought myself ? Over the years I do seem to have stumbled across more than my share of car and bike crashes?
    Jinxed maybe.

    So Henry, still keen to tag along again next weekend...

    I had a time in my life where I seemed to come across all sorts of misfortune - car crashes, bike crashes, and one case of a person having a seizure on the footpath and falling down and banging his head! That last one really freaked me out and I finally did a comprehensive first aid course. I haven't come across one single incident since I completed the course.

    Explain that, will you?

    Two of us picked it up. Man they are heavy metal. It looked quite rideable to me. Foot levers a bit bent, not many scratches on it. Surprised how such a heavy bike could come out of an armco hit followed by a slide into a fence post-that it uprooted, yet come out with minor damage. Well at a glance it seemed minor. I helped his mates carry him back over the armco and lay him on the road. He seemed to be in a state of shock and damn sore.
