WARNING DO NOT VEIW IF YOU ARE SQUIMISH
Thats gruesome.
This is why I always wear my Alpinestars, and don’t stunt my bike The majority of American sports bike riders (LB members exempt) seem obsessed with believing that gear is for gimps, well, we can all see who the gimp is now.
My father always said to me: ‘if you are in the rain? It’s to get wet!’ If you don’t want to get hurt just don’t give the chance for it to happen… Poor guy! Dunno what to say… Do you think they can put his foot back together? I hope so!
I’m no gear Nazi…I mean, it’s each individuals life/health that is at risk when they ride…but common sense tells ME that I’m better off WITH the gear than I am without it should something ever go wrong while aboard my bike.
As for the “stunting”…well…you take big risks like that, you often lose big it seems. :shrug
That was a truly horrific injury though…I’m sure that mangled foot required amputation when he arrived at the hospital. :shudder
Pretty sickly, eh, eww. A good advert for boots.
I think Ill stay with mi boots and not do the trainer bit
Cursed company policy rules won’t allow it!!!
Guess it must be bad!!
The guys recovering with a pin or two in his anckle,his mate posted this on stuntlife.
That was seriously horrible…!
Think about it, though - when something like that happens on the road (forget the wheelie for a minute), does the rider ever get prosecuted for wasting thousands of pounds of tax-payers NHS money due to wearing inappropriate clothing? Of course not!!
Does a Police traffic unit ever pull over a motorcyclist and reprimand him for not wearing gloves or boots? I’ve never seen it!!
Try wearing a tinted visor on bright summer’s day, though…
Try fitting a slightly smaller number plate to enhance the appearance of your ride, though…
Try having your tax disc partially hidden by your silencer, though…
Is it me, or has the world just gone wrong?
Sorry, I’m rambling - I just get SO ANGRY when I see even (supposedly) experienced riders on 1000+cc machines, particularly in the summer, wearing shorts, t-shirts, trainers etc etc.
Makes my blood boil…grrrrrrrr!!!
Yes, you discovered my bete noir!
Anyway, having vented my spleen, I feel much better now.
