What to do in the event of an off?

OMG this thread is so funny.

All these I do this or I did that. I bet 99% of all accidents and offs that happen, by the time you have realised what has happened the accident is already over.

The only real people that are going to have any time to think of the accident they are having are those that are happening on the track. And even then most will just wonder WTF just did happen.

Exactly.

I remember drinking beer, going out of the bar, riding to the first turn, hearing scraping sounds, feeling a bump on my head, maybe some sparks?

Next memory is standing on the side of the road holding a badly bruised Kawasaki and thinking to myself, "What a freakin idiot you are."

This is what I was trying to get at, people mention the whole off being in slow motion but surely its over before you have time to think!

it happens in an instant, but whilst it happens, it feels like it lasts a lifetime, everything goes in slow motion, then speeds up fruriously like a frying pan in the face when you get up off the road.

I was talking about Stretchies nuts. When he had his off in Wales he nearly had them sliced off by the bike that came a little too close for comfort as he slid over the road I believe

gladys' nuts. Man I've had some bad nut contacts in crashes. Smashed a mirror in one, broke my pelvis with them sandwiched inbetween it and the tank in the other.

Out of interest dizzy did you ever tell your little one what you did to bambi?
