Ouch.  :D

running bike while cleaning chain =  [puke]

natural selection does not work fast enough...just sayin

that is all
nothing follows

make the beast with two backsing make the beast with two backs. :-\

I feel sorry for the guy, even though it was stupid. Sucks to be him. I've done some dumb shit myself, though it hasn't yet cost me digits.

Wow... that is rough.  Note to self... keep fingers.

Just couldn't help but start humming "the stubby index finger" song....
Stubby index finger,
Tappin' out your code,
Stubby index finger,
Lookin' like a toad...

wow :-X

Haven't we all.  Let's show him some mercy, folks :)

Ow ow ow.. man

This is exactly why when I'm teaching folks how to do shit I over emphasize NEVER do chain work with the bike running.  Just the momentum of the wheel being spun by hand can do a lot of damage if you get sucked in... and we can see that and engine even at idle does bad bad things... ungh.

Poor guy, that's a hard way to learn the lesson. :(

I'm always afraid I'll catch my finger in the sprocket even if I'm just rotating the wheel on my own. I can't imagine trying to do it with the motor running.

its not fun when the bike is off, because you are pretty well caught and it might be awkward to get the other arm around to move the wheel the other direction. I can't imagine the horrible feeling involved here.

+1
It's damn near miraculous I've survived some of the shit I've done. It's good to remember that before piling on this guy.

That forum is supportive, I like the next comment down. That's why I'm apart of DMF where if I'm seriously hurt I won't be ridiculed.

This is the same forum where the guy poured 2 bottles of NOS energy drink into his gas tank thinking it was a fuel additive. Maybe dealers need to start giving an IQ test to potential gixxer buyers.

what impresses me is that he just cut off his fingers and the first thing he does is grab his camera and starts snapping pics.

No trying to control blood loss or pain just snapping pictures.

I would have been crying, running around in circles, swearing, and trying to figure out what the number for 911 is..

It might not have hurt that bad though. . .

"oh shit, my hand!

. . . this is totally going on the internet"

Ugh. I feel really bad for that guy. It's incredibly easy to hurt yourself working on a bike (or cars for that matter).
I'm just glad there wasn't a ladder involved...

Also, who the hell uses WD40 on a chain? The chain may have been in self-defense mode...

Sad but hillarious.  I cannot beleive that first response.  Wow.

Years of being dumb has built up his tolerance for pain.  Not to mention his bravery (or was it ignorance) that constantly got him in trouble.  I do feel bad for him though...  Sounds like life hasn't been treating him that well.  

The guy's posts are written well enough to assume he would be smart enough to not do this to himself. It may be that GSXR riders are the absolute dumbest motorcyclists in the universe. Too bad; they're great bikes and it's sad to be associated with stupidity. I always thought it was a given to not ever work on a machine when it is running. And he's in the process of becoming a COP ??? LOL what an idiot. I read something somewhere about the aptitude tests for potential police officers. The gist was that they look for stupidity since intelligent people would get bored with the job too easily. Perhaps there is some truth to that.

I showed people at work the picture and they didn't see anything wrong with the WD40, that was the first flag I saw.

Well, now he is going to have to find some one that will sell him a different size riding glove for each hand.

I suppose these things just happen.

What's wrong with using WD40 to clean the chain? I don't use that for lube, but it's perfectly fine for cleaning...

This was a heated topic sometime ago, but some people believe it dries out the o-rings if I remember correctly. It went back and forth, some said kerosene, some WD40, and some clean with the wax. Just a bunch of different preferences.

WD-40 is pretty much kerosene with an aerosol delivery system.

"Holy shit. You are one dumb make the beast with two backser!"  [clap]

Ugh
Have to offer up some compassion, yes he's stupid, but even dumb make the beast with two backsers deserve some humanity.

Ummmm, a couple things he's said are a bit off. He said he's on Oxycodone AND Oxycontin. That's a no-no so I call bullshit. Another thing, he said he's wearing "a plaster mitten". Why? there's nothing to cast in place. He broke the distal parts of his fingers off. No reason to put a cast on if there's no broken bone to splint in place.

On another note, he says later on he changed the bandages after he already said he was wearing a plaster cast.

Something's definitely fishy...

Those pictures have been around for (im guessing) years.

How is it nobody has debunked them before now?

Not saying you're wrong, I just think it's odd nobody noticed before now.  Maybe all we needed was to have Dr. BH Squid, M.D. on board.

;)

those pics made my balls hurt

Who cares if its fake or someone elses injury. The pictures are still pretty gross. Time for some  [drink].

I opened one of the pics in Photoshop and looked at the camera data in the file info. it was taken with a Palm Pre, so it has to be pretty recent.

I just had plenty of  [drink] and have to agree that those pix are really gross!!  Although I feel sorry for the dude that did that, I'm too intoxicated to really have a valid opinion!

Typing out that first paragraph must've been a huge effort.

I think he had a little bit of trouble reaching for Y, U, I, O, and P.  LOL
