Great Regulars: Another time the motorbike I was on skidded

on mud on a sharp corner. With enviable forethought the rider vacated the front seat a second before impact, leaving me gazing in awe at a pair of completely unmanned handlebars. I was carted away in a neck brace and ambulance.

By the time I was 22 I'd gone right off being someone's pillion.
