I really like that expression “riskiness of displacement”!
“Chances of falling off” doesn’t sound nearly as dangerous…
Dress for the ride, not the slide or ATGATT?

I ended up in A&E once and the Doctor came in and said, "So, this is our latest victim of an in-transit separation"!Wossname wrote: Mon Jul 07, 2025 10:50 am I really like that expression “riskiness of displacement”!

The only serious injury I've suffered from powered 2 wheel transport was falling off an e-scooter at 9mph and breaking+dislocating my collar bone 
I was wearing a helmet, which cracked during the crash, so I'm glad I was wearing it.
Fucking random number generator, crashing.

Re: Dress for the ride, not the slide or ATGATT?
Getting on the ferry on Saturday night there were about 12 bikes.
Apart from me, only 2 even had jackets.
Lesther? Only leather was the waistcoats they were wearing over the club t-shirts
As we got off today, I saw the bikes that were already loaded when we got on
It was the Canarian H.D. club. Again all wearing denim sleeveless with HD club logo over t-shirts.
Too hot to wear proper gear I suppose
But I'd have been happy to do my motorway journey today in jeans and thin textile jacket, but had to bring my levvers anyway so had to wear them.
