Mine was a similar lesson, but on a road bike (cycle). Bought a replacement cycle helmet the day after my off and less than 12 hours after the cosmetic surgery to my face. Suddenly an £80 cycle lid seemed far more reasonable.
The old lid was in 4 pieces when I took it off my head, one of those pieces saved the front of my skull from being shattered. Still have the facial scar - helps me look evil to the children!

I always thought those handles were for pushing the bike out of the garage, not for the pillion.

I think you can get a grab rail put onto most sports bikes.

Might have saved her skin.

You can get something like this for most super sports but they don't normally come as standard.

This is why you only let fit women pillion with you and why you demand a reach around on the grounds of safety!
