I have an old scanned photo somewhere my Gran took outside her house on the Staines bypass in the 70`s. A Herald that had rolled, looked more like a TR7 after. That`s thread drift for you.

PeteH Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 For some strange reason, falling off a motorcycle when Pi**ed, hurts less than when sober?. 😭 Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Worst thing you cab do when taking a fall is tense your muscles. Alcohol is a muscle relaxant so best to protect yourself as much as possible. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wore right through my leathers, and spent several hours having gravel plucked from my arse, the young nurse was quite nice though!. Strangely too I believe that learning to fall properly came from doing ju-jitsu as an 8yr old, father was a 4th Dan black belt. Wanted me to be able to defend myself. I much prefered swimming though. Long story about 4 guys who walked away from a car wreck. No seat belts back then. All heavily intoxicated. The worst injury being next day’s hangover.

Steve P Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I went over the handlebars of a rented Suzuki trail bike on the Island of Crete when I was 19 coming back from a night out, no injuries but buggered the front wheel of the bike.
