    A JAPANESE biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee
    when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for 2km, leaving a friend to pick
    up the limb.

    The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of
    friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, yesterday, when he was
    unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier,
    the Mainichi Shimbun said.

    He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing
    until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as
    saying.

    The man and his leg were taken to hospital, but the limb had been crushed in
    the collision, the paper said.

    WOW! Two riders have had this happen recently? The details are eerily
    similar. What are the chances?

    Cheers,
