Yeah I got emailed that one the other day..... eeeew, the wheels lock perfectly at the end !

As for the one above, there are some more pics, but not sure how much people are happy seeing. Nothing gruesome, but a little blood. But a much clearer picture of where he ended up.

Here are 2 more, 1 of the bike. The second has a little blood in it, nothing shocking though.

I do realise this set of photos is not exactly new too

Could have just been wearing trainers, it looks like the left has a sock on.... USA I think so quite possible.
Dragged 1/4 mile, not a mile

Depends how long it took the footwear to depart from the foot.
Know someone dragged 300metres on his knee, that only just got down to the bone.

lol @ bumper sticker, beats the hell out of the stick on Garfield butts anyway

As it turned out, he did survive and later admitted he was just being a nosey bugger and was having a look inside the trailer.

Remember that when the truck was on the move there would have been a rather large amount of windblast keeping those legs off the ground, just sit behind one on the motorway to see how much air they displace!

Seen the full story to this, pretty gruesome photo's but this kind of thing happens a lot in the states from what I read - bikes are a death trap imo even if highly addictive speed demons
