1980s Honda CB400F on the way the the pub on a camping holiday in Devon. Landed on pillion to soften the blow and skidded up the road on my arse collecting 4 tons of cow sh*t on the way. Stood up with the help of a kind lorry driver who thought i'd shat myself when he saw all the muck I was covered in.
Still went to the pub all the same, but people strangely kept their distance that night......

Mine must have been around 1971, Honda 50 Crossville Bus stop on a right hand bend.
It was so nice of these people to position the stop in this place so that all that nice diesel and oil could collect for unsuspecting 2 wheelers.

The worst must have been the 1st Moped Mayhem in Birmingham mid eighties, 1st right hander went down on the ice, finished the race but then spent 9 months going to physio 3 times a week, never been right since !
