I was talking to the first adult on the scene (some kids saw it happen and came and got him) and he told me this: when he arrived the guy appeared dead - not breathing and no pulse. He couldnt do mouth to mouth as the guys face had been too rearranged. He did chest compressions for about 15 min until the ambos arrived, during which time he came around and faded a few times. Once stabilised by the experts and helecoptered to hosp for treatment (and have his face stiched back on) he made such a recovery within 2 days he was able to call my aquaintance and thank him.

Hmmm...the media NEVER get details wrong, do they?

Thats what I thought.....

Don't lie, it's fucking shit, bugs hurt when they hit you, your eyes water like fuck unless you've got googles, it's actually pretty fucken crap and good fun at the same time

That's the rub in'it.

A lot of yanks don't wear helmets, mind you a lot do fuck themselves up badly too.

Apparently when congress figured out that more marines were coming back and killing themselves on sports bikes than in combat, that's when the military started tightening up on apparel and training.

Personally I agree that people should wear protective gear all the time, however it is his skin

Well yeah, but paying to put it back on his body is a collective thing.

Most New Zealanders would put forward the same argument against motorcycles in general.

That's the worry.

Anyone who thinks I'm an idiot for doing it can go fuck themselves, I can make my own decisions based on what I see as acceptable risk

I agree, you probably can, but sadly you're not the norm.

Like the ones we wore in the eighties that were so tight our man bits were on full display to all and sundry.

Ok that was unexpected in the middle of this thread.

Well fuck me up the arse with a broomstick!!!
