On Monday, I crashed my Monster at about 50mph. I suffered road rash on my hip and lots of bruising- and Pandora has flesh wounds of her own. Here’s what exactly happened, and the lowdown on the gear that saved my life.
A crowd comes to the rescue of a motorcyclist trapped under a 4000lb burning car. This is the kind of thing our world needs. (Not the coppers standing around pointing at things, but actual citizens helping citizens.)
The motorcyclist underwent surgery on Monday and is currently stable. Given that he was lacking any and all safety gear, it’s an understatement to say this rider is lucky to be alive.
