Damn... looks harsh, hope they get well soon

How fast were they going out of interest? (Not to give a lecture or anything, I'm hardly an example on the road)

That's made quite a mess. GWS. No paint diagram?

I take it that those are the fork stanchions snapped with the springs sticking out?! Well done for not being deaded let alone potatoed. Buy a lottery ticket now.

Seriously, the femur is the biggest and strongest bone in the body so to break that takes some serious energy. Did you break another bone in your leg(s) though as you mention two 'leg' breaks?

GWS.

ETA, just re-reading the post and it's not entirely clear if this was you or a mate? Not a big deal as the same opinion applies just seeking clarity...

Assuming you crashed the Fazer judging by your past shenanigans;

My bet is you was trying to show off for the school girl on the back or the L plate warriors on the 'late night group ride'.

[Amber Phoenix]

Yikes, bit messy that. Glad you both aren't too battered. Judging from the condition of that Fazer and the car, things could so easily have been worse.

I've dumped my Fazer many a time and always soon patched it up to get back on the road. Thankfully never battered it as much as that!

GWS and hope insurance dealings go smoothly though!

Heard it possible and first time I've seen evidence of ejaculant during a crash.

Respect to you and your giant testis.

Hope both you and pillion heal fast.

Ouchy. Is snapping forks the new thing now?

[Bonnie Lad]

That looks like a horror show and well done (whoever was riding) for not being dead

But seriously, are 'late night group rides' even a thing, and if so what kind of degenerate attends them?

[Beehive Bedlam]

[Pete.]

Hopefully the rider has pillion cover coz that broken ankle could cost them a lot of money if the insurance get narky.
