If you land properly and are wearing leathers you'll just kinda skip like a skipping stone on water. BTW, this info is useless without video. ;)

"If you land properly and are wearing leathers you'll just kinda skip like a skipping stone on water."

That may be true so long as the path isn't blocked. That kinda messes up the skipping rock picture.

I've heard the purpose of the leathers is twofold:

--In a mild accident, it prevents skin scrapes.

--In a serious accident, it keeps the bones in one place, where doctors can find them.

Unless, of course, there is a nice guardrail in your immediate path and future.

I was once following a motorcycle with a female passenger.

It may have blown a rear tire.

The motor began swaying side to side and finally the passenger was thrown off. She landed on her white shorts clad butt and bounced a time or two. She popped right up and I could see two pink patches where she bounced.

Show me the cow that was designed to slide 130 mph on asphalt.

What 220 mph looks like (60-140 mph on one wheel)
