It's natures way of thinning out the herd.
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

He didn't die!  And he probably won't be sterilized, either. :(

If he had been riding an R65 he would never have crashed at 157mph!  Another endoresement for these little guys.
