She let go of her brake, gave it gas, and for a second nothing happened. She started rolling backwards down the hill when the slip clutch finally grabbed. She brought the front wheel about 3 feet off the ground, making her slide down, which twisted the throttle further open  and she completely lost the bike. Damage to the bike wasn't too bad, cracked the headlight housing, bent a turn signal.
Funny how the amount of the damages equaled exactly to our security deposit  
Jutta was shook up, a little scraped (which with the coral they add to their asphalt, could have led to a bad infection) But was Ok.
An hour later when she realized how badly she scraped the gold band of her new engagement ring she lost it (it was easily repair by my jeweler) |
You must have been shocked to watch this happen to her, it’s like you want to protect your girl and yet you couldn’t because she was on her own scooter and was the one in control.
I think I’d set a new rule after that. .... no more scooters we rent cars only
