Did he damage the Bug Eye?

[AussiXS11G]

I hit a small boy with my bug eye Sprite back in '69
I was driving down a quiet suburban street, a few parked cars on my left, saw a small boy about to run across the road in front
of me - I stopped, he turned back to the footpath, I engaged first and set off again only to collect the boy as he appeared from
in front of the parked car - he had run up the footpath and back out onto the road - I broke his femur - his mother came running out
and abused the pool little bugger for being out of the yard.
changed my life forever......

No moral just pain

Dudes at the back.

There must be a moral to that story.

[XSIIE]

Many moons ago I t boned a car slid up the petrol tank and got stopped by the triple clamp.  The woman driving was heavily pregnant, my nuts hurt but she went into labour. Her husband paid for the repairs on my bike, my nuts still hurt for weeks.

I once hit an elderly lady....stepped straight into me as i went past a roadside stall whilst travelling behind a truck. Had her head turned in the opposite direction as she walked out onto the road as the truck passed...obviously didn t contemplate someone might be travelling behind that large sight screen.
Braced for impact ..with no space or time to do anything else. Handle bar and mirror hit as she rotated like a spinning top down the side of the bike ....taking out pots and pans and soft pannier down the left side ...before falling to the road.
Ambos and police attended....i did stay upright due to gripping the bars and knees to tank and feet to footrests like a monkey on a motorbike (" Jumangi " like ). Shook me up pretty bad...she was stretchered away with a broken bone or two.
Hitting roadkill is one thing .....pedestrians are a whole different kettle of fish.

apart from the incident that Ev told, which BTW put me instantly into the bitumen at 110klm,,

many yrs ago now,  160 klm west of Rocky idling along at 150ish, I flew over a rail over pass down into a left hander and thru a mob {7} cattle and 3 horses that were in the middle of the road,,,

it,s really funny {not ha ha} what goes thru your mind at that point,,, I clearly remember counting the cattle and horses as I rode towards them thinking this is really going to hurt, I purposely picked a line between them, made sure I was centred on
the bike ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,relaxed ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and closed my eyes ,

I felt a couple of the animals as I whizzed thru them and just clipped the last cow as I rode thru her arse,,,,

to this day I can,t believe I didn,t come off,  I clipped her with the very outside edge of the headlight shattering the right side fairing, folding the handle bar over the tank, slicing my hand open and the end of a finger as the mirror disintegrated and dislocating a finger or two

from that point, never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly has been my motto
