I know that feeling well.  It is all adrenaline.  The next day he sure felt that hit, though.

How lucky was that guy? Incredible! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Funny how the new guys point these out.

Seems when you get back into riding or start riding you get to YouTube and key in "motorcycle accident" within the 1st month or so ;D

no offence meant, just an observation ;D

You know I have to agree. I have purposely turned away from 'mayhem' clips lately. However, trying to find motorcycle stuff on You Tube, or anywhere else, and it not be a wreck is a hard thing to do! It's all people post.

Either that or it's Ghost Rider endangering the lives of innocent drivers.
