I say may you have a long slow recovery...I have no sympathy for anyone who rides a bike without a helmet...

FWIW, it was a 2005 Hyabusa he was riding.
DAMMMM!!!!! If he comes back and plays with dentures there bound to come out with one good hit! Should've worn the stupid helmet! Stupid is as stupid does...

Note: The Hayabusa does 190 stock (I'm betting his wasn't stock!), so it could have been a real nasty wreck.

I have a friend with a "lightly modded" 'Busa that tops out at 215.

No helmet...pure stupidity on that bike!

I just hope he is OK. It sounds like minor injuries, not that any injury is minor. He should no better than not to wear a helmet. Considering he was talked to by the coach and wears one on the field. After he is done recovering from these injuries, maybe he should advocate helmet safety. Just a thought.
