Looks like (at least) a broken foot and a memorable case of road rash.

I don't get why people ride without proper gear.
During my training hours I've already been on a bike at 35°C. Yes, it's hot while you're waiting at some traffic lights in a jacket, boots, motorcycle pants, gloves and a full face helmet but when you are moving you get cooled nicely by the wind (on a naked bike). The very idea to ride without a helmet is strange to me. Aside from the safety factor the wind alone at 60 mph would put me off. Besides, the first thing I do after getting home after riding a bike is to clean all the dead insects from my helmet...I definitely don't think I would be looking very cool with those on my face.

My guess is he's moving, but holding the bars with his left hand, which is hidden by his leg. Seen several shots like that staged for the camera.
