ftm 3,357 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 worked on a local ferry [river tyne] taking men to & from shipyards in ,s the skipper pointed to a couple of kids waving arms trying to get our attention -we spotted a kid in water and skipper turned boat towards the kid but water was swirling around at a speed and kid went under -I dived in [already had gear off ] and swam over but kid was missing -anyone who knows the river tyne in industrial time will tell you how filthy it was and very powerful, all of a sudden I felt something grab my leg!! the kid was pulling me down with him and I just put my arm down to his and grabbed it and I don't know where my strength came from but managed to haul us both to the surface and skipper threw to life belt for us --I was ok but kid looked terrible and I thought he was a gonner but half hour later he was sitting up yabbering away --- that was my near death -his mother came down "next" day said "thanks" that was it lol 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was'nt till after I was hauled out of said bush with my mates and our guides all laughing like Hyenas, realised it was the only thing stopping me from from a very long long drop.

johonawhitness 110 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 5 years ago i flipped a Yamaha r1 at approx 70mph mid wheelie( I used to touch down at 110-20) , I was on a duel carriage way at 2am with 2 other mates on bikes . the road melted my leathers I had sever road rash broken ankle, wrist and 2 ribbs ,very lucky. My gear cost more than the bike had saved my life. it felt like I was sliding and tumbling for minuets genuinely believed I was going to die. The road was empty and luckly I hit no road furniture. 6months I was back in action. I still ride bikes,I still wheelie off road bikes. I don't play on the road now ,purely because of the Mrs and kids not worth it. Die to ride ,ride till I die Quote Link to post Share on other sites
