My first crash wasn’t all that impressive but what happened afterwards amazed me. About a week after getting the bike I was speeding in and out of lanes on wet roads in Scotland (stupid, I know) when the car in front of me braked. I had to brake hard just as my front wheel reached the big wet slippy painted arrow in the middle of the lane. Earth, sky, earth, sky,……
I didn’t get up because I was convinced I was in my bed asleep having a bad dream (?!?!). A few people got out of their cars to see if I was alright and one of them phoned an ambulance (which I didn’t need thankfully, god bless leather). A few minutes later one of them reached down and opened my visor. She abruptly stood up and told everyone in a shocked voice that (OH my God!) it was a girl lying there. The guy with the phone redialled 999 and told them to hurry up because the guy who came off his bike was actually a girl!
In other words, if it was a guy, let him wait!!!PS. I’ll always be grateful to the nice ambulance driver who not only didn’t charge me for the ambulance but got out a pair of pliers and straightened my gear lever so I could drive home.
August 18, 2004 at 1:35 pm #20391GixParticipantHe He. Peoples reactions when I take off my helmet and they realise that I am a female on a sports bike, it still amazes me, and in this world when we are all meant to be equal too!
Lucky you didn’t damage yourself though! I am not sure whether we bounce better than men do or if we are able to cope with more pain! Can’t imagine a bloke coping with childbirth!Rebel with a cause!
The roads are my race track!!
August 18, 2004 at 2:04 pm #20392ChristinaParticipantIt’s so bad I’ve even been wolf whistled by girls when I’ve been getting off the bike. The reaction when I took the helmet off was hilarious! Never seen faces go that red before.
August 18, 2004 at 4:57 pm #20393imperialdataKeymasterA male friend of mine (honest!) has been caught out the other way round, leching at the tightly leathered rear end of a long blonde haired biker who pulled up. Yep, it was a bloke and we still tell that story to anyone who meets him for the first time.
Don’t knock the wolf-whistles Christina, I’d be happy to get them! Welcome to the forum by the way.
PS Childbirth looks easy – you try standing next to the mother, being sworn at and gripped so tightly that the blood stops circulating!

August 22, 2004 at 10:03 pm #20396LexParticipantRiding a Superdream is more painful than childbirth. I have not had any kids (wot with being a male!), but I cam’t of anything worse than a Superdream, so that seals it for me! Sorry girls.
August 23, 2004 at 1:59 pm #20397ChristinaParticipantYou’re just showing what weeds you men are Lex.
I drive a 14 year old Honda NSR to work every day. I’m clocking up nearly 500 miles a week in all weathers surrounded by maniac Irish drivers. I’d like to see you try that. Wouldn’t last a day by the sound of it.I might try whistling back at the girls, wheelie. I’ll let you know what happens. []

August 23, 2004 at 11:01 pm #20399LexParticipantI’m no weed – I can crush beer cans!!
I do need a vice and some help though…
Anyway childbirth can’t be tough, my old Irish Granny managed it 17 times!!
August 23, 2004 at 11:08 pm #20400GixParticipantI should think it would have been like shelling peas by then mate!

August 24, 2004 at 8:49 am #20401ChristinaParticipantWhat is the difference between a man and childbirth?
One can be terribly painful and sometimes almost unbearable while the other is just having a baby.

Whats the difference between men and condoms?
Condoms have evolved – they are no longer thick and insensative![:p]
But like I said, there are some rare exceptions! []

One to do it
One to hold the chocolates
Three to bitch about her husband
Her husband to do it properly
All of them to moan he should have done it sooner!
