If it brings a little happiness to them, and shows a small amount of normalcy/entertainment/ECT. coming out of an area so wreaked by war, then Good on 'Em.

I enjoy practicing wheelies and some smaller stunts, but those guys need helmets. You don't need to be going fast to crack a skull.

Tell me about it. The only thing I remember from my recent crash is smacking my head on the pavement hard enough for an instant headache. That and seeing a van drive by my head about 6" from me.

KidA, I figured you spilled on a track and not on the road. Speedy recovery dude

Intersection literally right across the street from where I worked. Earlier crash + spilled coolant + rain + dude hitting brakes in front of me = not a good stop.

Thanks though. Could have been a lot worse (i.e. that van crushing my head like a grape).

Anytime you go down (I'm talking a motorbike crash, you GA BN homos... don't get all excited) its a bad thing... even worse if you've got no helmet on, and MUCH worse if cars are involved.

Glad yer OK.

Couldn't help thinking of this video as I read the story, it is an oldie, been seen before, but a goodie. Watch until the end.
