Came off my bike, with a strange ending...
I was out practicing skills in a quiet industrial area about 10 mins away from my house. I'm still quite nervous so usually do 10km/hr less than the speed limit since i choose low traffic times to ride at the moment while i'm still learning.
Today after practicing, i felt really good as i had achieved so many skills that i had been struggling with previously. About 5 mins away from home, a hummer swerves across 2 lanes into my lane where i was doing approx 40km/hr as i was about to turn into a side street. i swerved, lost control and hit the gutter, riding up and onto the grass while i knew i was about to go over the handlebars and then... i get flung to the right side?! ......This all happened in front of a milkbar (convenience store?), where a group of 6 very big Samoan guys were just leaving. Since i was doing such a low speed , 2 of the guys actually CAUGHT me as i started to come off the bike, but more amazingly, the other 4 guys caught my bike!!! The only injury to anyone was a bruise to the left side of one of the guys body's from the handlebar hitting him, but after i assessed him he seemed fine (i'm a paramedic), and he was already laughing about it. My bike? Not a scratch on it since it never touched the ground! I'm so grateful to them, they saved me and my brand new bike! So of course i invited them all back to my place and made them dinner Turns out they all ride Harleys, and have invited me to ride with them, so today i made 6 new riding buddies too (but not before throwing some jokes in about a ninja riding with them ) There was a girl driving the hummer... she says a spider was on her |

The old "there was a spider on me" defense. You can get away with anything as long as there's a "spider on you."
I think I read somewhere that after he invaded Poland Hitler claimed to have had a spider on him. |

That's an awesome story (well except for the hummer part). It was just fate that led you to that meeting. You were meant to meet up with those guys.

Nice, man! Just keep practicing & you'll be fine.
All 7 of you guys should've ganged up and raped that lady. That would've taught her a damn lesson!

LMAO! I'm a girl, so not really into raping women...not really into raping guys either , but thanks, i'm getting there pretty quickly now that i'm practicing regularly.
It IS an awesome story, what made it funnier was when my boyfriend came over and found me having dinner with 6 massive guys I hate spiders, but when I've had them on me in my car, i don't lose my **** and swerve all over the road! |

haha it wasn't really all that exciting, but might have been funny to watch! My best friend said she wouldn't have believed it if she didn't turn up to the accident scene, such a ridiculous story, things like this always happen to me A few bruises have come up now, but all good otherwise

I actually had a spider on me while I was driving the other day, but I don't recall swerving across lanes of traffic to get it off me. Actually, I just played with him haha ...then I threw him out the window
Anyways, great story! Sounds like quite an interesting exerience |

Your so lucky those guys were there! That's crazy that they managed to catch you and your bike. O, and if your gonna crash, that's a hell of a way to do it.

OMG! That's the most awesome story I've heard in months. I was sat reading it with my mouth wide open and a "NO F**KING WAY" expression plastered across my face!
Hope you have some good times ahead of you with your 6 new burly buddies! I'm sure the story of how "the Ninjette girl ended up with the Harley guys" will be told many times to come when you're out riding with them. |

Glad to hear everything turned out well for you ! Just a thought, may want to check your forks for any fluid leak. Probably hit that curve hard.

If you gotta crash, there are certainly worse ways to go about it.

I definetely will! My friends are going to come along on our rides just to take photos of my ninjette amongst the harleys hehehe
Thanks Lou, I'm actually due for my first service so today seems like a great day to take it in! The guy that had the bruising is a bit worse off today, bruising has deepened and he's in a bit of pain when he moves around too much. He's pretty sure the throttle handlebar hit him, but he got checked out by his doctor and no permanent harm done... Makes me feel so bad |

I'm sure he would say that he'd rather take the bruising that can heal than to have let your bike take damage that would need repairs.

Did this happen near any security cameras? Would be great to have the footage of this?
In England you can claim a copy of any footage of you taken by a security camera on the grounds that they are holding personal data. The Data Protection Act allows you a copy of the data they hold on you. |

I think you might be right. They probably would've jumped out of the way instead of helping out.

Be glad it ended up like that.
[Alternate ending] Well, after they caught me and my bike, two of them locked me in a dumpster, while the other four quickly lifted my bike into their truck and sped away. WHAT A TWEEST

Normally I'd totally agree with you, but I think it all happened so fast and with OP (probabl) wearing a helmet it would be hard to tell that fast. It seems like it was a quick oh sh*t! and catch moment. Though I'd wager they may not have been as kind if she were a he afterward.

Holy crap that's amazing.
On the other hand.. I had a spider *IN* my helmet *while* I was riding. I very calmly lifted the face shield and flicked him out, I did not attempt to commit vehicular manslaughter/suicide. |

Thank you. I was just about to have a small fit. That's one of those 'don't cross' lines. You learn quickly, grasshopper.
Punishment suitable for her? Bus ticket. Coolest story ever! And don't worry about using up your good luck, you gained lots of Karma in that episode I hope this leads to many 'Angel Samoan' riding stories. Keep up the practice, it's obviously getting into your head. We're supposed to swerve if possible instead of doing the panic freeze up. Nice move, needs some tweaking but nice move! And those guys were just being charming, they would have done the same for a guy on a smaller bike like something that wouldn't plow right over them - heros act on instinct! I think it was BIKE ----> SAVE! Pocket sized...Love it! That's sooo sweeet! |
