Your daily diversion from sports ...We might have a few timeouts today, there are some truly bizarre news items and delicious eye candy floating about these interwebs.
First, to Japan where a motorcycle suffered a mere flesh wound. OR he lost his leg while motorcycling and didn't notice. True story.
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.I understand immense pain screws up the synapses, but you'd a) think to look down at your leg after hitting a wall and b) notice it was missing.
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.
