Oops

Up until about an hour ago, there were three motorbikes over 600cc in Naju...

Now there are two.


This is how I first saw it after it had just gone whizzing by.
I arrived 2 minutes after it happened. Actually saw the bike go past at about 100km/hr. And he hit hard!



Front view. This is what hit the ground first.


From another angle.


Rear view. This is what hit the ground second.



Objects in the mirror probably really are A LOT CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR!


How to take home a bike that until a few minutes ago, was worth thousands of dollars and now might be worth thousands of won... if your lucky!

Apparently he was riding up the road when a lady decided to pull out of a driveway on the opposite side of the road and crossed straight in front of him, without looking to see if there was any traffic anywhere on the road. He had nowhere to go except down a 20 food embankment. He was sitting on his helmet on the side of the road when I arrived. He seemed ok except for the hole as round as a watch face in the side of his knee, and lots of bruises around the leg. He's gonna be sore tomorrow though.
