Dear lord the amount of drunken bike crashes I have had !!!
Luckily I spent years on Motorcross, and seem to have developed an instictive 'go loose' and 'tuck and roll' falling style that means despite trashing bikes I rarely hurt myself (though I am really trying not to ride the CBR drunk)..
My worst was on one of my early tours.. Was living with a TG and we had fought BADLY (both roaring drunk) and she had stomped off to her mates.. I decided to go and personally deliver another piece of my mind at 4 or 5 am and speed off helmetless and flat out (angry).. As I cut a bend a Thai came round it in a car also loose on the bend.. To be fair I was most out of order and pretty much went head on into the front of him at about 50 KPH.. I remember seeing the car than thinking '****' (I have multiple pins and have smashed my body in so many way in the first world its not funny, nealry lost my Rt leg twice) and as the moment of impact came I kind of jumped up off the scooter...
I didn't quite clear the bars at that speed and must have clipped them with my legs but I clearly remember flying superman like over the roof of this car and starting to spin headfirst down
!! Somehow the god that looks after drunken fools was out in force as I bunched up rolled over and bounched down on the rd without any more injury than a minor scrape and later some briuses on my legs as I clipped the bike on the launch..
The bike itself hit so hard it flipped over the bonnet and cleared the wing of the car to land in an expensive heap on the rd..
The rest of the events of that night I am even less proud of (running off in flip flops, behing hunted and caught by police, etc) lets just say that for instant idiot just add alcohol !!
