Narrow Escapes
IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

That happened to me on a Bandit 1200 one dark December night (driving home for Xmas) on a country road. I was doing about 60mph just coming into a bend then suddenly everything goes dark. I immediately dropped the anchors but inevitably ended up in a ditch knee deep in mud. Better that than a brick wall I suppose.
I later discovered one of the coil packs had blown, shorting out and blowing the main 30amp fuse. Fuckin scary stiff at the time.
