Meat crayon, then organ donor.

I hate it when I've gotta pick road grit out of my brand new liver :(
Spare parts
This is why I think motorcycles have like 6 times the fatality rate compared to cars. Young stupid men, sorry ladies most of you are too responsible, maybe there are stupid ladies and I am a bit sexist, but young stupid men being able to afford a motorcycle because it is cheaper than dirt and has the power to weight ratio of a supercar. Then thinking we were born different, we have been riding this amazing piece of machinery for a year now, clearly we are special, a motoGP driver in another life (PS they plan to drop at least 6 times a year), we are the the blessing from the road Gods, we become cocky, we show off... And we actually make it, then after the first time it is like chasing the dragons tail, that adrenaline rush, and every time we push our limits a bit more, become more confident. Then we push and .... fuck what was that wobble, suddenly everything goes into slow-mo, "FUCK!!! I am falling toward that barrier. Dead.
It happens so fast. You are lucky if you slide, like this guy did, it means you are not coming to a sudden stop. Skin regrows actually back amazing, around the hips are the most painful.
Driving motorcycles, especially litre bikes, unfortunately feeds into the power fantasy. It is addictive. I drive mine everyday and still I promise myself to drive nicely, yet when I overtake my lizard brain takes over and I grin from ear to ear as everyone basically stands still as I overtake three cars in less than a second. I know I am going to fall and hit the road one day. I an a stupid young man driving a motorcycle. But I spend basically a shit load of money on my gear, ask me why and I will show you the places where you can see hou i paid for that knowledge with a pound of flesh. Wear your gear and try to be humble, watchout for cars even if you have right of way, graveyard is full of bikers who had right of way. Cars have a steel box protecting you, all you have is a bit of animal skin or composite material and a hard shell with Styrofoam keeping you alive
Carry your organ donor ID!
They only take whole organs as donations, not minced meat.
That's why I bought a KLR, it is slow. It can barely overtake. However, it will still kill you if you are dumb enough to try to ride off-road at high speeds.
I've had many RTA's, all the ones that fucking hurt involved some dumbass car/truck doing something stupid. all the ones where I ran out of talent just made good stories in the pub.Wear the gear, tell the tale.
And drivers should be made to ride a bike, see how long they last.

Sorry, I don't need to ride a bike to know it's a poor choice. I prefer to learn from other people's mistakes, like this young man in the video.
it comes from my flustration with people in cars who do not care about anybody but themselves. I'm hoping I didn't break a rib and the blood is from a simple cut lip and that fucking u-turn-with-out-looking asshat is just looking at his torn off bumper
The guy in the video is an idiot whos gonna idiot everyday, the bike wasn't at fault.
Yep, I get that. I've ridden double on a motorbike off road, with both of us being reasonably careful, corrected for the standards of the time and my youthful male recklessness. But trusting with your life that every other driver you interact with on every trip isn't going to be like the last one you found sounds like a losing bet if you do it often enough. Like Roz said on Frasier...
I mean, there ARE "stupid ladies" out there, but there's a reason that car insurance rates are higher for me under 25, and it's for this exact reason.
Most of the guys I know were dumb as fuck with their licenses for many years after getting them.
So, at a glance, you can see his head bounce off the pavement
and his face drag.
For those that don't ride, you don't use your face to stop yourself.
now you tell me??
Thank you! I was going to try this when I ride a bike, but I'm glad you've stopped me before I made a mistake! I'm sure it's a common mistake to make!
Oddly, your nose doesn't make a very good brake pad...
I kinda want to walk up to the guy as he is laying there and ask him:
So, what have we learned today?
He'd like to respond but he has no face.
Meatcrayon.
Great camera work.
At first I thought it was a camera attached to the driver, then I thought it was attached to the bike. However, it tracks the driver through the crash.
360 cam probably
"Meat crayon" is a wonderfully evocative phrase
A helmet would have prevented some of the head injury, but I don't expect even leathers would have helped a whole lot. Some kinds of stupid just have unavoidable consequences.
The leathers and helmet would probably have helped out with nearly every injury there.
When you’re properly protected for the side you really only have to worry about friction burns and hitting a stationary object while sliding.
Depends on if you get thrown high, or cartwheel, but for sliding leathers and other gear offer a ton of protection.
I rode sensibly for probably 20 years. Gear always. It paid off as I was rounding a corner and kids had left pebbles and chalk in the road. A pebble went under the rear wheel like a marble, so then with no grip the rear just slide out sideways and bike was immediately gone from under me. It was like a cartoon.. Blink blink...then gravity kicks in. I went down into a tucked front roll and then a slide. Stood up with no damage other than my thumb being a bit sore from leading the front roll. Solved by holding a cold beer at home.
Also bike was fine as I had installed frame sliders.

Nice move. I assume this was practiced a bit, like a martial artist practicing a break-fall, right?
Actually yes, I had done several years of breakfalls years prior, and that training became instinct for handling this situation of "Hey I'm up in the air moving at decent speed, with the ground approaching me”
Ah. Ya know, I didn't even look at the username. ;-)
We may have trained in the same organizations, except if you practiced a lotta break-falls then you wouldn't've been under Shihan Sato like me (near Langara station). We only practiced that in seminars.
I last did break-falls when Sensei Pat McCarthy came to the Island and I was there, and I ended up bruising my hip joint (ah jeez did that f'n sting) from a few janky hits.
I did mine in Aikido in Southern Ontario before coming to BC. Breakfalls were the base lessons and practised every session for part of the warm-ups.
When somebody is rotating your arm like a well crank handle the unwinding way out is via a breakfall 😀
Helmets protect the head from shocks and abrasion.
Leather or cordura protects the body from abrasion.
So when wearing these, you can fall with "little" risk as long as you don't hit anything (usually sidewalks, trees, walls, safety barriers, another vehicle...).
A helmet would have prevented what seems to have been some serious injury to the head and face.
See screenshots in my previous comment.
Based on this fortnine video about leather's ability to withstand a ridiculous amount of abrasion, it probably would've helped a lot.
And running a read light and speeding wrecklessly while riding one handed at high speed… no way this dude wasn’t gonna wreck
Glad to see the competition for the Darwin Award is still in full swing
I cringed and went "ohhhhh nooooo!" When I saw his face slide across the road 💀
I fell off my pedal bike the other day. Went over the handlebars. It hurt for, like, a week. I cant imagine being this reckless on a giant engine strapped to some steel pipes.
As someone who was reckless on one and did something almost identical, even in gear this kinda hurt. Still, it was something I was able to walk off and recover with some ibuprofen, and if I was wearing my pants, probably not even that. This dude is going to have a concussion and need skin grafts, at minimum.
Don't worry, he probably didn't feel a thing at that point already.
It's the sausageman.
Grinding his face wherever he can
God I hope this is AI
