Ouch! (Was "Clarkson you sonuvabitch!")

Maybe manufacturers of motorcycle clothing ought to start putting kevlar
in the crotch. Though it might make sitting on the bike even less
comfortable. And going to the loo may become problematic.

If it's that bad then se a "Cricketer's Box" to protect your........ ummm....box

Seriously though, that Benelli tank............

A sorry case of "form over function" (or lack of function if it gets you )

It's the biker's injury that dare not speak its name, really. While losing a foot has a certain machismo attached, loosing yer nuts is not something I think most of us would want to talk about in public.

I know this has been a recognised biker injury syndrome for at least 40 year; in the mid 60s there was some research published that basically said that bikers going over the tank in a collision were commonly getting their tackle caught up in / damaged by the great big speedos and tachos that were usual in them days.

Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

And if you somehow managed to avoid the tank/clocks then the "bacon-slicer" front number-plate got you anyway.

Believe the technical name for it is 'loss of consortium'. Whatever, I'm glad I fell sideways

STREWTH!!!!!

I used to think that replacing the airbag with an 2 foot steel spike that impaled the driver in the event of an accident would be a major contribution to road safety. I see that the bike industry has not only had the same idea but actually implimented it!

I have a pal who lives in the same village as old Jeremy.Perhaps I could ask him to accidentally spill a pint over him when they are next in the local pub? Jezzer does get in their quite often apparently!

Maybe we could set up a PayPal account and get your mate to spill a pint over him everytime he visits

Just name the pub ... I fancy a rideout
