"I was lying underneath like a May beetle": Günther Jauch had a traumatic motorcycle accident
Günther Jauch is one of the veterans of German television.
Few people today can imagine that he was a real daredevil as a young adult.
At the age of 18, today's presenter raced through the city on his motorcycle: "I once had a 4-cylinder 750 cc Honda.
I was very slight, at 18, pulled up in front of the full café.
Dismounted and wanted to get the box I had on the second day on the stand.”
However, his initially casual appearance was quickly overshadowed by a traumatic experience: "Such a killer weight! whoosh! Did that thing fall on me? I lay underneath it like a cockchafer. And the exhaust is nice: Shhhh, just like the Brutzler. Nice on the calf. ”
Meanwhile, the guests in the café “laughed themselves dead”, said Jauch.
Nevertheless, two helpful people were found who "had pity on lifting the box, under which I then crawled out," explains the moderator.
