Well, what a fine example of the dangers of arrogance and waaaayyy too much self-esteem. Guys like this would no sooner buy a beginner's bike than they would fly to the moon. It's all about ego and posing, whether it's a Harley or a Hayabusa. People who wouldn't dream of trying to fly an F-16 for their first solo will start biking with a ZX-14 as their first ride.
Joe Public reads this and sez to himself, "Them danged motorcycles are dangerous and the people who ride them are stupid." How can you disagree when you see dum stuff like this?
That said I do hope this guy recovers fully. It's not like the rest of us haven't done something really stupid in the last month or last week.
But I bet, if he rides any more, that he wears a helmet next time.
