Weird.

I was sitting with a freind in a transit van lastnight, we were just about to pull out of a junction when a woman trundled past on a bike towing one of those clip on baby bikes at the back.

Only thing was, there was no child. My pal asked her politely if she'd maybe lost something... Laughing

Wow quick!
He was riding harley as far as I saw in the TV news in the evening.

I imagine he stayed on the bike despite the collision though? Otherwise he'd have noticed it was gone when he tried to pick himself up off the ground. Must have been a horrific speed to have come clean off yet he stay on the bike. Confused

I can't believe that you can have an accident that is enough to sever your leg off, yet you manage to stay on the bike and ride on for another 2km without noticing. Shocked

Crazy stuff!

Can you imagine riding along thinking, "My leg is hurting, better pull over and see whats up", then you pull over look down, "Fuckin hell, where is the rest of my leg!".

I would probably faint! Laughing

I'm sure I read a similar story (may be on here?) recently where a bloke had his foot severed by a broken chain and he only noticed when he pulled over to the side of the road and put his 'foot' down to stop and promptly toppled over.

"Oh f*ck, those fairings are going to cost me a bundle. What the...? Where's me foot gone?"

Laughing

I had a friend who did the same sort of thing, her leg didn't come off but smashed her knee cap up near her groin and she didn't realise til she went to A+E just how bad it was.

Think she rode through a sign or something, can't remember.

Well two points here he was riding fast, fast = 2km = nowt ie less than a minute at legal speeds , even less at illegal
speeds,and no doubt adrenaline was really pumping , with enough adrenaline you can do what seem like amazing feets

I recall this woman lifting a car after her child was trapped under neath it, also on a more related note why its so easy to lift
your bike after a minor spill even if it is a heavy old monster.

the most amazing story was this guy who walked in on a drug deal and was opened up on by a couple guys with Uzis on this US trauma type surgery program on in the 90s , been shot over 90+ times and still managed to leg it to safety.

BAKA!! Must have been pissed off his face to not notice, or the shock kicked in and f***ed up his memory.

When I low sided the CBR It wasn't until I was home and went to take my boot off when I realized I couldn't as it was far too tight. X-rays later on at A&E Said id fractured it.

The shock/adrenalin of the crash made it un-feel-able.

Some very funny comments posted by readers, in fact I'm quite surprised!

My DAS instructor told me a tale (probably made up) about his mate who's chain came off, and too his foot with it. Apparently this bloke had to be held down cos he refused to admit there was anything wrong with him and he wanted to go pick his bike up.

treble · Nova Slayer Joined: 25 Jun 2006 Karma :

A good point in the comments - he crashed after failing to negotiate a turn. OK, so that means he got up, walked to his crashed bike, lifted it up, got on, turned it on and rode away, all without noticing he was missing half a leg?

Yeah, right. Rolling Eyes
