I guess when you have such horrible trauma done to the body you don't feel it at first, after a while though a leg would be something you might miss after a while.

Well, it's been years and Drew still hasn't realized his brain is gone... A leg'd be easy to miss.

I've seen a drunk biker do that and he had both legs still.  Pulled up, stopped, whole thing fell over.  He forgot to put his foot down.

Right leg...  If you were apt to not notice your right leg was missing you would when you went to stop.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Not really the same thing, but still. In a hidden camera show I saw how they swapped someones car for a UK model (left hand drive to right hand drive). The owner of the car only noticed the steering wheel was "moved" when he tried to put the key in the ignition. Still one of my favorite pranks. The guy was an "illusionist", so it was all the more rewarding that they fooled him.

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

You guys are missing the best one - when he brings his bike to a stop and falls over!

A group at work rides bikes on weekends.  One lady decided to get those clips which holds your feet to the pedals so she could get power pushing down on the pedal as well as pulling it back up.  Well, that's great as long as you can get your feet out of the clips.  She tipped over at the first stop sign she came to.

What a dope! :laugh2:  Until you feel comfortable doing trackstands WITHOUT the clips, you don't EVER tighten BOTH of 'em so dang tight you can't get out of 'em! :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
