meatloaf Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 On Wed I was riding alone the M40 on my way to meet my daughter, I was in the outside lane following a Discovery doing about 80 when suddenly the car in front of it flipped sideways, somehow the discovery swerved and missed it by inches and was fighting for control in the middle lane, as luck would have it my exit was coming up and I was already preparing to move over to the inside lane so I gunned it and went for the safe gap that was there as utter mayhem unfolded behind me. It took a quite a while for my heart slow down and my bum to stop twiching, I like to think that it was quick reactions that saved me from being toast but really it was mostly just plain fucking luck. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtone Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 A bit of a late reply lol. Not a brown trouser moment but a WTF moment!.......................There we were, my GF and me, driving along on my Garelli Rekord when all of a sudden a mini decided to turn right across our path with no indication. The result, both of us flying over the top of the mini - all in slow motion. Those that have expereinced this will know what I'm talking about. Worth google'ing it too. Some interesting stuff about this. The Brown Trouser moment happened when I was behind a lorry on a wet day waiting to overtake. I ducked out only to see an oncoming car so pulled back behind the lorry waiting for the car to pass but to my horror the lorry slammed on it's brakes..........................so did I only to find I'd lost the front end and was sliding rapidly beneath the lorry's rear end. I found myself between the lorry's back axle thinking 'If this lorry is too big to pass the oncoming car then it's going to reverse'. Of course it didn't otherwise I wouldn't be typing this now! Now this could be a surreal moment - or monty python - but when the lorry drove off I was sitting in the middle of the road still in a bit of a daze when some OAP asked if I was OK being a passer by at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
