Aged about 8 I thought it would be a really good idea to run down the side of hay bluff... I ran about 100 yards flew 600 and faceplanted in a bog at the bottom. Never run so fast before or after.
Shooting downhill after college into town in the middle of the road, passing stationary traffic on the left in the rain just after I got my fixie, failed to notice someone indicating right. They pulled out, I missed them and swerved into the back of a lorry instead. Somehow got away with just tearing my shoulder.
