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.

Looks like Hunter! (The first picture in this thread)

"Dumb Motorcycle Tricks and How I got a Compound Fracture.". Book due out after extensive physical therapy.

^ Those are going to ooze awhile!

I went down on a bike once without a jacket, in grass but, still got skin burned off and would have gotten a concussion if I wasn't wearing a helmet. I slid right into a small hole in a briar hedge, narrowly missing a steel culvert.

Safety equipment are good.

You're right. Pennsylvania doesn't require helmets. Run naked cranium if you dare. We got big bugs.

Looks like either a Road King or Electra Glide.

The guy must have a rocker shifter, in that he's wearing flip flops.
I always found it painful to down shift wearing sneakers.
What happens if he nods off? CRUNCH!!!!

Some peoples' kids.

Schroeder · 08-26-13, 09:09 AM

Don't you mean up shift?

I guess it's more painful to pull the lever upwards with the topside of your foot while wearing slippers.

I think Neal would agree with this.

So today I learned that real bikers don't have checking accounts.

I would like to know where you can get a Rolex watch for 1,700.
