Disclaimer: I retain full mental and physical faculties.
The best way to get around Koh Tao is to hire a motorbike, especially if you plan to stay for a while. And at $AU6 per day, it seems silly not to. So we did. We got a bike. No helmets though- they look at you strange and laugh when you ask. But they take your passport- collateral.
So off we go, exploring the roads, tracks and goat trails with our new found toy. And we go fast, more fun to go fast. Time to give myself a dose of white knuckles...... and for a while there I pulled it off, but chance is a fickle mistress.
Cruising up a hill, pick the wrong gear and it won't change up, so I give it shit. We stop half way up. The road is sandy, back brakes don't work, and the front wheel locks up as we begin to slide backwards. Steph bails, saving her ass but unbalancing the bike in the process. I push the bike down and slide backwards down the concrete road.....on my back......with no shirt....
TO BE CONTINUED.......
