This is somewhat, but not really, related to this thread.

Thought i'd do a quick quiz just for a bit of fun. See if any motorcycling safety gurus can prevent me doing it again.

One of the following things was NOT PRESENT today, leading to my emergency stop, see if you can pick it out from the list.

1. Sunshine.
2. A hot chick walking alongside.
3. A very short flimsy summer dress.
4. A gust of wind.
5. Underwear.

I'd can off too if it wasn't a chick.....

Backpackers mile along the Paihia waterfront is a danger zone ....many tiny bikinis = many close calls. best slowest ride in the country

The lesson to be learnt is that you guys shouldn't be looking if you cannot control yourself on your bikes. Maybe the real poll should be:

How many have crashed looking at skirt??

You shoulda asked them if they wanted to munt your crash bung for you, instead of ripping into it yourself.

Only once???
I've keep wearing out the right hand side of my tyres doing that.

Hot chicky ahead on footpath. Stare at chicky (bugger traffic). Ride past chicky. Turn head hard to left to keep looking. Chicky starts to cross road behind bike. Keep turning head to watch chick. Chick keeps crossing road behind bike, head keeps turning. Osteopath, stat.

Now thats hardly fair. I remember what was supposed to be a very basic corner near Collingwood turn into a very complex one, when I took my eyes off the road for a sec to check if my eyes were deceiving me. Suddenly, this massive damn barrier has jumped into the middle of the road and is doing its best to get me! Worse... I still wanted a double check while trying to sort the mess out, but luckily my sense of self preservation had kicked in, and survival was the top priority.

That's my point exactly
