          i feel sorry for that bike......the owner was dumb enough to not wear gear, so he deserves the rash.... at least his scull rag will catch the blood to an extent.

            Looks as if he has the front wheel brake on full (three fingers worth). What is that spray out the bottom right looking into the picture? Oil maybe, asphalt perhaps?

              Na. It just strains out the big pieces.

                That guy may not be bad off. It looks like he's broken a fork while doing a stoppie. If he is almost stopped he'll fall over on his left. If the bike high-sides his head into the pavement, he'll be messed up, but if it collapses down, he'll be bruised and rashed...

                  If the second guy lands on his head, there isn't a lot of brain cells left to damage. Remember the old adage "got a ten dollar head, wear a $10 helmut. This guy's got a dollar two nine nine head! And while in the grouchy mood, doesn't Darwin come in here somewhere???

                    I have decided that Darwin's theory 'survival of the fitest' no longer applies to the human race. In fact, I would say we are, as a whole, moving in the other direction. Intelligent, educated folks statistically have half as many children. Where do you think this is headed

                      Quite a few years ago I had an incident and was only wearing a tank top shirt. When I hit the pavement my shirt was gone in an instant. I dress more appropriate since then.

                        I wonder if this guy will be able to use his fingers when his elbow is ground up to look like cat food?
