I was on the wrong side of the road. Yes I landed in the trailer the car was towing where you see me in the photo. If my head had hit that lawn mower things could have been different.

Yeah I remember someone was on the wrong side....

I did some silly things on motorcycles when I was young and looking for the edge.

Funny thing about that idea in my case, I didn't crash till after that phase of my life.

Cr#p in a hat @bruce aussie!!! The landing in the trailer makes for an even more remarkable story.

Musta bought a lottery ticket after that!!!

The EFE was a nice bike but the smaller front wheel could be a hand full at speed on bumpy corners like the ones we have on our country roads.
I had one and never really trusted it when it started nodding its head.
Good to see you got a 10 for the landing and lived to tell the tale.

that is truly amazing, how cool you got photos!Crazy how stuff like that never put us off bikes. In 1990 i hit a truck side on at around 160k and flew underneath it without hitting anything. when i got out of hospital i felt like my life had begun again, like you I should have been dead! same deal - sold the mangled fz750 to a wrecker for $400. The funny part was the first thing i said after the accident was "how's my bike?" and the guy said "it's wasted mate"

Crash happened near the farmhouse a workmate was living in he took the photos. Living in the country I know everyone in the photos except the bloke in the leather jacket, the man and woman that were in the car and the copper.
