I never have dumped a bike

Does wedging one under a porch count? :)

Does wedging one under a porch count?

I think I hold the record for the longest (duration) over-the-bars endo . . .

Back in my young and foolish days (as opposed to my current old and foolish days) I was following behind a friend's car on my Kawasaki KL-250. I caught the eye of a fetchingly cute young girl walking on the sidewalk along the street. Unbeknownst to me, this beauty has also caught the attention of my friend in the car ahead of me, who stopped in the middle of the street . . .

Well, I hit him about five miles an hour, imparting just enough force to stand my bike straight up on the front tire, and push his car forward about eight feet. Ever so slowly the bike continued over, landing in a perfect three-point stance (two handlebar ends and the taillight) and pinning me underneath sprawled out on the pavement. Try as I might, I couldn't muscle up enough leverage to get the bike off me, pinned in the position I was.

My friend jumped out of his car to rescue me from my predicament. When he saw me helplessly pinned uner the bike, he couldn't stop laughing. I finally convinced him to peel the bike off me as the tears rolled down his cheeks . . .

The fetchingly cute young girl walking on the sidewalk also was laughing so hard, she had to sit down on the curb while she composed herself. At the time, I was the only one who didn't think the situation was so damn funny.

I never did meet that girl . . .
