My Mrs did me in the arse...

[Monkeypony]

Well, obviously not like that!

So, off we go on a jolly old ride, a couple of hours later, we're circling a multi traffic light controlled roundabout (bet you can guess what happens next..)

Light in front of me changes from green.

I thinks "We won't get both bikes through, I'll stop"

She thinks "Better gun it to make it through the lights"

As a result, she canes into my back wheel, which launches me off the back of the bike, and sends it of for a little journey on it's own. Fortunately, the traffic entering the roundabout hadn't started to move, so no second collision.

She ends up trapped under her bike.

It was quite a shock I can tell you!

Damage to her Daytona: scratched fairing, bent exhaust, snapped rear brake lever (somehow, the forks didn't twist or bend and the bike was rideable).

Damage to her: A VERY bruised twat Bruised wrists, bruised leg.

Damage to the Aprilia: Snapped rear brake level, wing mirror, all rhs crash bungs, scratched exhaust, scratched nose fairing, bar end etc.

Damage to me: None.

Fair play to her though, after much tears and apologies, she woman'd the fuck up and rode the two hours home

The good news is, the liability won't be an issue for the insurance.

The better news is, I now have a get out of jail free for literally ANYTHING I do wrong for the foreseeable future

Must count as the most embarrassing accident ever!

And that's why I always followed my wife when she rode

Seriously, it could have been a lot worse with both injuries and damage so you did OK, if you can do OK from a crash.

What was she doing out of the kitchen in the first place?

[Feasty]

Are you both with the same insurance company? (I'm assuming you are)...

I think you should both contact the insurance company separately and claim it was each others fault and get their knickers in a twist for amusement purposes!

Top tip for convoy riding: ride staggered, one a bit nearer the kerb, one a bit nearer the white line. Then she'd have missed you






In the meantime, I guess with her front bottom out of order for a bit, you'll be having to return the topic title favour
Too soon?

This was a previous incident and on a different bike to the latest bollocks incident.

In reality, I think this must have been my knee or head that did this.

I was rather fortunate when I did this. It's one of the reasons why I always ride staggered so that if I am looking to the right or left at a give way and the geezer in front stops, it shouldn't be a full impact, just a glancing blow if anything.

Always ride for you and not the other person. Would it would have been easier to ride through the lights, like normal and then pull over at the other side.
