Apparently you guys haven't ever been hit by an egg while operating a motorcycle, with your girlfriend/boyfriend hanging on behind you.
This happened to me a while back and when something hits you and explodes while you're driving 45 mph, you and whoever is with you (if anyone) are likely to be shaken.
I am fortunate to not have lost control and caused an accident.
When it happens to you, it feels like attempted murder, trust me.
A motorcycle wasn't involved in this. If one had been the case may have been different.
