Bad luck or just asking for it?

Do you ever ride your bike without a helmet?

The guy in this photo is having a bit of bad luck but because he isn't wearing a helmet I think it was only a matter of time before something bad happened...

Poor buggar. Guess that's what you get with USD forks

Asking for it? Yes ofcourse.

I take it the above photo is from the US?

The picture is an oldy but a goodie. Dont fancy seeing the resulting faceplant/broken nose.

Shame really, cause skin grafts dont take too well to tendons in the hands.

what has not wearing a helmet got to do with fucking your forks from too many wheelies/stoppies ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but that bike seems to have had a frame added around the bottom, sort of like a roll cage. I wonder if it was not just someone's everyday bike but one that has been set up for people to learn to stunt on.

The photo just made me think... I've seen plenty of people moving their bikes just up the road or whatever without there helmets... I guess it just increases the risk of harm if/when things go wrong...

Actually saw these pictures (again) this morning as I was trawling through OneArmedBandit's attachments.

Here's the two follow-up images to the above - because it's so much easier to look "gangsta" when you have a sling.

I am sure they will take skin from his behind to rebuild his face since he was such an arsehead and his bike is all arse-about-face.
