I came across this article while in search of the must-know motorcycle information that I feel obligated to tell you about.
A victim of fashion
TOKYO: This season’s fad for extra long scarves
claimed another fashion victim when a Japanese woman fell from her motorcycle
after her two-metre long muffler got caught in the bike’s rear wheel, police
said Tuesday.
The 20-year-old college student was in a coma after the
accident but regained consciousness on Tuesday. Still her condition remains
serious as her scarf almost choked her to death.
“Long, long scarves
became fashionable among young women after Hidetoshi Nakata, the football
player, wore one that almost touched the floor,” a spokesman said.
The
motorcycle accident followed a similar incident in November, when a 26-year-old
Japanese woman suffocated to death after her long scarf was caught in the engine
of a go-cart.
Do you think they had long, long gloves and long, long hats to go with the long, long scarves?
