I'm guilty of this the weekend just gone, popping into town - half a mile away. A little way down the road, you just don't feel safe, it feels odd - you think to yourself, you're not enjoying it now.. Then the Liveleak.com and Ogrish.com images come rushing back. Then you know you've been a knob head.
This guy, well, he bins it - we all know the result. However people are different, riding a motorbike is a calculated risk. Maybe he thought he didn't wanna sweat in leathers for however long his journey was, and thought potentially months of rehab and picking gravel out of his extremities, maybe a couple of limbs amputated (or much worse) seemed a better option. I traveled 5 miles to work today, I had my Frank Thomas invincibility suit on, it wasn't done up all the way, I had shorts and t shirt on. Sat in the pool - got out dried the drips out of my clothing, put on my leathers with damp shorts and tshirt, out on the bike. LOVELY.
