I find that sunlight makes me sneeze. Many a time I've come out of a corner and the sunstrike gives me shocking sneezes.
Does this happen to anyone else?
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Years ago, I used to commute 2 up through the Dome Valley. Every morning at the same place on the road, the sun was right in your face. My pillion was one of those ACHOO sufferers. Man she used to sneeze and sneeze and sneeze. Quite a strange feeling when your pillion is multi sneezing. I used to laugh at the same time. Heaven knows what other road users thought of 2 mad females heading south just past 8am each day![]()

I googled it, so it must be.

No body move... I dropped my brain
miss 14 asked me " If I fart and laugh at the same time, is it a LART or a FARAUGH"?

Loss of vision in a corner......yerrrrr. That can be scary.
Many years ago I was wont to ride the Port Hills Rd above Christchurch in the dead of night....god alone knows why but it was a regular.
This road is quite high and in those days anyway, had no barriers at the edges...you had a vertical face to bang into on your right and a vertical drop to fall off of on your left. (Incidentally, that is exactly what the late archer, Neroli Fairhall did, god rest her soul).
One dark and moonless night I was just heading into a long sweeping right hander when all the lights on the bike went out - POOF!! I was left in total darkness, knowing that if I turned too hard I would hit the cliff face and if I did not turn enough I would have a very exhilarating (temporarily anyway) freefall, followed by a very sudden and probably terminal stop.
Lucked out and managed to stop before either happened. Then had to push the bike all the way down to the nearest phone to call for another light bulb...no vision = no good.
