Cant Believe My Eyes

[Stu8]

Going Work today A bike overtook me (nothing unsual there) but this was.

The rider had his Left arm and Leg missing WTF :o

I ride a bike, and just cant see how it's possible, so I rubbed my eyes, just to make sure I wasn't day dreaming. lol

I saw him kicking down (changing gears) And at one stage he took his right hand of the steering

He must of been strapped down or summat, but how the hell did he brake and clutch??

Oh well one of life mysteries. just thought I'd share that with you. :D

[jdbecks]

he must pay alot on insurance too!

i would rather drive a automatic car with a toggle

[Stu8]

I could understand if it was a trike; but a bike

[Chappers]

To take a right hand coner would be !Removed! hard..

Certain?

[houston]

where i used to work there were a few people who were really into their bike and they had a mate who lost his arm in an accident, but still rides today! his bike is customised and has both brake and clutch on the right, but he can still ride normal bikes!

they had a video which they showed me of when they were out "playing" and he was still crazy on corners, kept swopping his hand over for turnin, lettin go at over 100mph is not for the safety concious!!!

im not a bike rider but is the left leg for the rear brake?

[ricomr2]

left leg is for shifting thru the gears.... I think

[houston]

left hand = clutch,

right hand = front brake,

right foot = gears,

left foot = rear brake,

thats what ive always believed, only bikes i've rode have been twist and go

[ricomr2]

I've only ever been on one motorbike and i dropped it :o

Wasnt allowed near it after that :D

[houston]

i had a few mins on one at temple park, my mate said i couldnt ride 4 s*it, he walked it home and fell at kerb, the bike fell on his leg and broke it, dont feel sorry for him cos i wasnt, i laughed at him and left him then found out next day he had 2 go 2 hospital

[ricomr2]

lol.. My mate was gonna kill me when i dropped his.

He told me not to try and turn it, so what did i do??

I was going so slowly that the weight of the bike just pulled it over

[Stu8]

I'm surprised he let you have a go. :P

Sport bikes are the worst to turn around though.

He was Riding a Aprillia RS250 which isn't a big powered bike, but it's still quick.

I used to own one of these,

CBR600RR :)

didn't have it long though :(

I know... Dont know what he was thinking letting me near it

Its up for sale now... ;)

[Stu8]

One accident damaged......... :D

You think thats bad, you want to try a 3 point turn on a sports bike.

... How does that fella get on/off the bike

[houston]

ever seen the westerns where the cowboy jumps on the horse?

like i said i worked with lads who were into their bikes, one had a fireblade (CBR 1000) and fell off on a road which had gravel on, broken ribs, summit to collar bone and a lot of bruises, he was gutted cos hed just paid 300 for his replica helmet and it was wrecked! he kept sayin how it still had 4 of its lives left before he fell? i'd be more bothered about the pain he had 2 go through, weird when u talk 2 die hard bikers how there pain is less important than their bikes!

[Stu8]

I know what you saying I'm by no means a die hard biker, but they are alot of fun B)

Someone I know fell of his bike and broke his spine, he's now disabled for life :( but he still wants a trike

[ricomr2]

I like bikes but i wouldn't have one for the these very reasons.
