The aftermath...

I was just going through some old unlabeled Zip disks lying around my office and found some pictures of my friend Adam's R6 from a couple years ago, after he went over backwards while trying to do a wheelie at 50MPH:










See how the left side of the tank is smashed flat? His body was between the bike and the pavement when that happened. Yes, he was wearing a helmet, and yes, it's the only reason he's alive now (although it was close - he had pretty massive damage to his lungs & kidneys, and was in the hospital for the better part of a month). As it is, the only side effect is a whole lot of titanium in his left arm. Oh, and he doesn't ride like a dipshit anymore.
