    Sometimes you just can't explain....

    Hope this poor guy recovers. If so, he has a story that should serve him well into the future.

    Nashuatelegraph.com: Nashua man fell four stories after motorcycle crash

    Anyone know him? One of us by any chance????

    Holy shit! Talk about having a good story! Geez...that's some major damage...hope he recovers as fully as possible. On a lighter note, I can just see Chris Farley playing that guy...he'd land and say "That was AWESOME!"
    True that on the helmet.

    Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

    Hope he can pull through, and if he does
    he would be one hell of a good spokesperson
    for MSF-NH and the need for helmets on the road.

    thumbs up for wearing his helmet because the story would've been a lot worse if he hadn't been.

    I hope he has a complete and speedy recovery, like everyone else.


    But are you telling me that all of you motorcycle riders are just going to believe that the bike miraculously accelerated, with no input from the rider, and put him into and over the wall?

    yeah, i didn't buy that for a second. especially when the artical mentioned that he was "hanging out" with a group of 15 or so friends atop the garage.

    possible but highly unlikely.

    Pinched throttle cable will do that.

    That has already happened to several members here ...

    If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride would do.

    I was talking to Traci about this last night... 15 people on top of a garage... he was probably doing a burnout or a wheelie or god knows what else. Regardless, his helmet saved his life. I guess if you're going to do stupid shit, you might as well do it with a helmet on!

    Happened to a buddy of mine as well on his zx7... coming up his driveway, misrouted throttle cable got pinched and kept the revs up and by the time he thought to just pull in the clutch he was already into the stone wall.
