latest mcn i got today is talking of groups of youths running out infront of bikers at the last minute. >
One biker in bristol was injured on his GSX-R1000 in one incident ending up with 6 broken ribs, a punctured lung, bruised heart and damaged shoulder when he couldn't avoid someone playing chicken.

Yes, I believe he is trying to claim compensation which is why it is in the papers again. He was lucky to survive - the 'chicken' kid died.

thats right
If they will run in front of a fast moving bike...

If I remember correctly the story I read somewhere and - and how true I don't know - was the kid ran in front a van without realising the bike was overtaking the van. It was dual carriageway with a 70 limit and the bike was only doing 50 or so. **** luck all round!

i wouldnt know in that much detail.
Sh*t luck that could have been easily avoided but for the stupidity of the whole game/ concept

Is it in South America where the kids ride on top of tube trains for laughs?
It seems that thrill seeking becomes more outrageous as time goes on . . . . .

Cautionary tale, but seriously the lesson to be learnt is to look at the pavements aswell as the road when riding, you will probably get at least a little warning. It helps to spot the drunk about to stumble into your path aswell.

Having hit a pedestrian a few years ago (whilst driving a car I hasten to add), it's an experience I would definitely not recommend. :-[ :'(
Fortunately the lady was not seriously injured.
