JE VAIS A LA GLOIRE! From the Register today:

SANTA ANA – A 19-year-old woman's scarf wrapped around her motorcycle's back wheel and pulled her off the bike this morning on the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway near Santa Clara Avenue, authorities said.

The motorcycle continued down the freeway until it eventually fell over, police said.

The California Highway Patrol responded to the 7:39 a.m. accident and said the woman, whose name was not released, suffered a broken arm and some scrapes and bruises.

Jesus, I'm stunned she's still alive. Yow.

So am I. Even 19 year olds, who are made of liquid metal, are lucky to walk away from that.

Wow. I woulda thunk it'd take her head right off.

Beauty (scarves) is pain (fast wheels!). But I too can compete in the accessories causing injury department: I once fractured my fifth metatarsal just by wearing shoes that didn't give me enough arch support. The doctor told me I "walked wrong."

screw the bike - it's amazing she didn't get completely run over by another vehicle at that time of the morning

Don't remember which, but a certain serial killer looked for women wearing scarves. Easy target. But in CA it's obviously just for fashion. No thanks.
