Fake or Not.....rider on the side of the road?

Indeed, I once saw a guy in the street, surrounded by cops, put a shotgun in his mouth a pull the trigger. He was laid on the floor trying to pick up pieces of his face...

It is a horrible experience to witness and cope with. I lost two friends because of a blue on blue incident, I also got disciplined for striking an RAF officer that day.

The fact is that the human body is made of soft tissue. Bones are not particularly strong either. So it's obvious that an off involving impact isn't going to look too pretty - isn't it? - so why post pictures the only function of which is to upset people?

I can believe that spain and similar places have terrible accidents like that.

When I was in rhodes aa couple of weeks ago how they ride is crazy.

I saw a grandma on a scooter with 3 little kids clinging onto the side. People riding whilst on the phone or smoking. None of them had helmets on. Every 300 - 400 metres there were shrine typr thing which I thought were just religous symbols as the Greeks are a fairly religous bunch.....but no they were where someone had died apparently.

we are the only animals in existance to be able to travel faster than nature intended! and believe it or not this has created a small amount of evolution in our bodies in the past few hundred yeras....sadly still not enough to save ya skin in an off.

Titanium screws, plates, and shrouds?

iirc it was in spain

as before, not pleasant...

Sounds a little OTT to break up a body like that you would have to have BIG forces involved ill bet.

Didnt see it but from the description above it sounds about right.
