Tell you what - if his legs weren't draped over the front end of his bike, it is highly unlikely that he would have broken it - if I had to guess - something happened where he went over the front and the entire bike came down over on top of him. Having laid down a bike at speed once - about the only thing that wasn't in danger were my feet. *shrugs*

jesus!!, Im still not buying riding boots, but you will never ever ever catch me doing tricks, wheelies or anything costly on my bike, that is just plain bad judgment.

I bet he wont me sitting on his gas tank anymore.

I guess so, I just dont take that much of an uneccesary risks anymore, but like you said to each there own. If its worth it in long run well then do it up. But big consequinces come with big risks, you know.
