Same in NZ. Discovered that when I applied what I thought was the rear brake and went ass over teacup over the handlebars.

I’ve always hear it’s ass over tea kettle (upper central US). Is that different too!?

Many regional variations, arse over tit is the first one that comes to mind for me in the UK

Arse over tit is the tea version. As in, your arse is literally going over the height of your tits. Tea pot is just the PG version

Is there a Yorkshire, Tetley, or Earl Grey version?

I've always said "arse over tit", but after this wonderful comment introducing me to "arse over teacup", I shall be using this henceforth. Thank you sir for making me chuckle with your wonderful idiom.
