I was riding a 350 Yamaha(less than a month old - my first NEW motorbike) in extremely hot weather (the summer of 76 for those old enough to remember it)It was so hot I took off my leather jacket, strapped it to the back and rode in a T shirt. Ten miles up a country lane I came round a corner to find the road had melted. Bike slid away and I went sliding for about 40m through molten tar. Took off the top few mm of flesh all the way down my arm, leg and left hand side and replaced it with tar. They were still getting bits out 6 months later.
