Just coming back from Wath-upon Dearne, along the new dual carriageway and saw some guys/girls bike had gone through the rear window of the car in front of him, at a roundabout.

Police were there and everything, no sign of the rider though, I hope they're ok Sad

I'd imagine the hapless chappy ended up sat on the back seat. The pictures of a BCFer's grey NSR that hit the back of a car was utterly cringe-worthy - the tank dent inflicted by his testicles was mighty impressive. Can't help but think that women are more suited to riding...

For what it's worth, Our Tuppence's aren't made of solid steel ya know Embarassed they hurt too!

I don't think he went through the window, the hole in it wasn't big enough, it looked more like they had just pulled the very front of the bike out of the window (headlamp & small bit of fairing around it)

Still....makes me wonder if he went over the top, he must have been going at some speed to put it through like that.

The thing is, that road and it's roundabouts, some don't seem to have any turn off apart from straight on, so you could get a bit over confident and figure nothing is coming around, it only takes one person tho...

You'd think that, wouldn't you?

...until you realise that women stand a greater chance of a split/shattered pelvis via the tank in a head-on impact.

Still jealous?

You misspelt "funbags".

Unless yours are, in fact, pneumatic.

In which case, I'd pay to see them inflate and deflate indepenently in time to music... Dance!
