Japanese biker fails to notice missing leg

"AKIRAAAAaaaaaaa!"

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for 2 km (1.2 miles), leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

The man and his leg were taken to hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said.

Reminds me of the yuppie whose BMW got creamed ...

Yuppie is in a car accident, and he gets out of his Beemer and starts screaming at the woman who ran into him, "My BEEMER! "My BEEMER!! Look what you did to my f*$#@ing BEEMER!"

The woman goes "... omg, sir, your arm is missing from the elbow down ..."

"My ROLEX! My f*$#@ing ROLEX!"

and there's the difference!

There are guys who ride bikes, then hard core bikers! Watch, this dude will be back in the saddle on his mule with a wooden leg soon. I know some guys like that, they just don't care, steel skull plates and all.
