Crazy but true

He always saw the funny side of things like that, and often played on them. He was a Thalidomide kid with both arms and legs deformed. However, he grew up and went to a regular school, did his apprenticeship as a carpenter, and won a silver medal at the Para-Olympics. He and his family have always had my deepest respect.

My neighbor lost his left leg below the knee, he hadn't ridden since he lost the leg. His cousin came over with his new Harley, they got drinking, he talked him into taking it for a ride up and down our rural road. He took off fine , when he went to upshift down the road, it pulled his leg off. He pulled over, forgetting he only had one leg now, and promptly fell over on his side. A passing motorist stopped and helped him pick the bike up, as they got it up they turned and looked, 2 Greyhound buses were coming down the road, he said every single wheel on both buses managed to run his leg over.

Worse still, the guy got what was left of his leg and wedged it in the saddlebag, he pulled back into his driveway yelling to his cousin "catch me, catch me", his cousin grinned drunkenly at him, having no idea what he was talking about, and watched him drop it on other side.

That's a great story tripps. The spirit and strength of some people never fails to amaze me ! :)
 
On the subject of being drunk , I have another friend who lost his entire ear in a motorcycle accident . Before the days of modern plastic surgery he had a prosthetic one which he would stick on with special adhesive . As he got drunken and hotter the glue would melt and the ear would slide down his face , sometimes falling off completely ! He would dissappear under the barstools and feet drunkenly groping for it and then reappear with it stuck on upside down or completely in the wrong place . He was bit of a ladies man and one night whilst trying to chat a girl up his ear started to slip . The girl made a comment so he tore it off threw it in her drink and drunk it ! I don't think he got a second date ? :)

The man suffers trauma from the bike, endures his leg being shredded and gets no sympathy from the cops.

Then buys a Rocket?

Monty Python might make use of this story!

That just about sums the guy up and is one of the milder story's ! I have more respect for him than anyone else on this planet .
 
Nice one.:thumbsup::laugh::) Years ago had a mate n both his legs were artificial, and when he would get really pissed he would get the attenson of everyone and lift one leg up on the table n start doin 360~s then pull it off n throw it at someone, then do the same with the other leg.:p
