yea these pictures have been floating around the internet for a while. The story I heard was that he was run over by a semi-truck, and got wedged inbetween the rear tires and was shredded. There is another picture of a guy who slid into a curb face first without wearing his helmet on rotten.com, causing one hell of an injury, and yes he lived through it, I dont know how

I figured if I could look at those pics and still hop on my bike, I'll accept any fate it gives me. I tell ya what, you wont catch me riding without jeans, hi-top sneakers, my joe rocket textile or leather jackets, gloves, and my RF900 helmet. I figure I've got about $1000 worth of protective clothing, to give me the best chance possible.
Thats what I dont understand about harley riders. First off, their bikes cant corner, accelerate or stop for crap, meaning they dont have the time or options we do to react to a situation. Second, they drink alcohol like water when they are together, causing them to lose coordination, balance, and concentration, all of which are imperative to safe motorcycle operation. Third, THEY DONT EVEN WEAR HELMETS OR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING!!!!!!
I guess that's why they are "bad to the bone"! LOL
