Default close call

last weekend, i had a lady visiting me, who has a fair amount of miles riding her own roadking..we were riding two-up and pulled in to get some gas.....she stood up on the passenger pegs to get off, while i was holding the bike upright...
her foot slipped and she launched backwards off the bike....she came crashing down head first and struck the back of her head on the steel pipe that protects the gas pumps...thank god she was wearing a 3/4 helmet....all she ended up with, was a sore butt and a gouged helmet...the way that i saw her head snap backwards when she hit, she would have had some serious head trauma.....it goes to show, that you dont have to be going 60 mph to get killed...

Another none event brought to you courtesy of a good helmet doing its job. Good thing she was wearing it. Glad everything turned out no worse than it did.

Glad to hear no serious damage. Hail to the 3/4 helmets.

Thanks for sharing!
