FLAME-ON!!!
Public was lucky. Usually when a Floridian loses control they take out a fire hydrant, lamp posts, parked cars, a couple of pedestrians and a Starbucks.
No mention of age.
Circa 1964 a young guy ‘testing’ his Norton with a few pals in “The Ravines”, Winnetka Il.
Missed a turn, through a hedgerow and into a pool.
In the middle of a BBQ party.
All the old men at the party attempted to remove the bike from the pool, the best they could do was drag it to the shallow end.
Sadly the bike had to remain overnight in the water!
So I have been told.
