    Very badly worded Buggy- very badly worded!



    I'm just glad the word 'doing' wasn't 'pushing'

    Image is not pleasant. But is a reminder to:
    • Don't push the limits too far
    • Wear the correct gear
    • DONT BE BLOODY STUPID IN FRONT OF A CAMERA


    However if you think the image should be removed then please PM me and i will convert all references to a link and add a note to explain.

    For a moment there I thought the article was about him crashing his naked motorcycle and was thinking 'what's so unusual about that'



    I wonder if "they" will missinterpret the article and try to ban naked motorcycles soon?

    Reality is often unpleasant. That's what people end up like when they crash. Maybe all bikes should have to have such an image affixed where the rider sees it all the time. Might make people think, eh?

    Ah well, whenever I think I'm having bad day I just think of poor buggers like that!!
    BTW I have seen people survive with worse looking injuries but that dude don't look like he's going to make another cup of coffee...

    I reckon people might actually crash MORE if they have something like that to look at in a genuine sphinkter pucker moment.

    I was doing a search for an image of some sort of bike one day when something pretty gross came up- I guy riding with no helmet had been in some sort of smash. He was lying face down on the road, pretty much unmarked....except for the fact that the top of his head had burst open and his brain matter was spread out on the road in front of him...

    The picture below has been seen bofore on KB, but it's a more sublte (sp) reason not to pull wheelies when not wearing appropriate gear...

    I can't imagine why you'd ride a bike naked... and then wearing a helmet... the irony of it

    I think the photo should stay there.... as a reminder of what may and can happen..... it is a thought that may save someone, because they might think of that photo before they do something silly.

    I suspect he would have died regardless what gear he was wearing.
