hmmmm let me just slow time down enough to remember to do this

except it kinda goes

oo cack...oo feck me head..sh!t thats a new helmet. Get up quick out of road, and run towards bike upside down, next to a wall facing you...and shout nnoooooooooo in slow motion. Turn it off, and try picking it up, realise your in shock and sit on the floor and sulk, til someone nice runs over and picks it up! Inspect damage and curse for the next 12 hrs about how expensive your fairing is.

Ahh now Im Indoors tried this, then collapsed only to wake up x amount of days later and be told he nearly lost his leg in surgery cause it was smashed to pieces.
on another note spreading your arms and legs whilst diving (read thrown) off a pillion seat in the fast lane of the m62 would really work, maybe you could sprout a cape and fly over to the hard shoulder thus ommitting the brown trouser moment when you realise your head is going to get squashed by the next car,as its laying on the lane markings!
