When it rains it pours eh? Well done for pushing through that nonsense at the end, I find that being nice to the arsehole drivers really disarms them and the public around them, as soon as they see a foreigner "attacking" a local, they all gang up on you and soon there's a mob, be nice, smile and try to act like bad luck has just befallen you both (without admitting guilt or placing it), that way things work out smoother.. In China you have to expect every single driver to drive like shit and be unpredictable, that's the only way you can avoid this sort of thing (and then it'll still happen to you anyway).

Great report clegg and missrose, cheers for writing it up and sorry i didn't see it til now. Proper troopers the pair of you, good to see that crashing 20 times a day hasn't put you off biking. If you're ever planning on selling that bike on this forum i'd probably create a new alias though...

09-09-2011, 06:38 AMHehe, slabo is now a proper word for hitting someone crossing barriers to throw themselves on oncoming motorcyclists? Reference, and a bad memory for me.

Good thing you got off lightly and you only have to deal with broken and bent metal instead of bones.

09-09-2011, 06:47 AMSlabo, you know you've arrived when your name becomes a verb -- even if it means "colliding on your motorcycle with a jaywalking pedestrian and being held responsible for it!"
And "slaboed" has a better ring to it than "naimed"...
Aren't you supposed to be on a plane soon?jkp

Thanks, but I have to admit that now I'm really scared shitless in traffic! Mountains and off-road no prob, but meandering through Shanghai traffic terrifies me! Will keep hopping on tho because otherwise there'll be no end to it! I'll try and keep the balls of steel in mind next time
Cheers!

Haha! well, since I don't have real balls, being female and all, my balls are proverbial... hence keeping them in mind.... right? right!

If my balls are on my girlfriend's mind, does that make them proverbial too?
Clegg, sorry for turning your rr into a thread about my balls...
