A Most Magnificent Monster


« Reply #30 on: September 16, 2011, 08:44:01 AM »

I had a minor fall on my Monster that left me unable to stand up for a few minutes...several cars drove by and none stopped to see if I was OK.  But I believe that people would mostly do the right thing and help like these fine folks did.  I have to.

I wonder what would have happened to him had he had a helmet on...would he have slipped his helmeted head under the car?  I dont think so...

I can think of a few scenarios that might have happened, like a broken neck as the worst case.

Here is a link to a CNN video of the young rider.

Wright has multiple fractures in his right leg and pelvis, burns on his feet and a "pretty gnarly road rash." But he didn't suffer any head injuries, and doctors said he will likely make a full recovery within a few months.

This summer, Wright spent two weeks in Tijuana, Mexico, building homes for people living in poverty. Now, he said, he plans to pursue more humanitarian work because of the perspective he learned from Tijuana and his crash.

one good turn...

got his karmic payforward fast

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Good thing about Utah is there are always more men to help.
