The second crash certainly bears some similarities to my SMIDSY.

looks like a good enough reason not to ride into anything solid to me...

That last one there with the pillion is pretty funny.
Are you enjoying your crash there?
Not so bad.
Right so. How would a nice kick in the head feel about now then?
Ah sure, no harm finding out!

I am pretty sure I caressed a stopped car on the way with my pipes once.
I think I felt bad about it.
I mean, I am sure I did, I just cant seem to recall right at this very minute.

Just a couple of weeks ago here in Spain i was watching a programme all about various types of road accidents and their causes etc. In the programme they showed several bike test crashes and it was only on viewing them that something dawned on me.......certainly on a side impact in to say a car, the roof of the vehicle is at a scarey height for the rider of the bike as far as head and neck are concerned. I had never really thought about it before.
