That was 1986.

I've ridden various bikes since, but never owned one since then. I can only imagine what this guy went through, my leg healed up in a matter of weeks.
I got a few friends whore are bike maniacs.. they'll end up dead sooner than later, and funnily enough they know it themselves, but have no plans to change their way of riding.
In finland there's like 4 months in a year you can ride.. they are on their bikes as much as they possibly can, and unfortunately drive as fast as they can.

Although, it's a different matter of fucking up your life and to have a drunk driver fuck your life up. Unfortunately usually the talent of a driver can't save them if someone else fucks up on the road
