Biker fails to notice missing leg - Rides on


TOKYO — A Japanese biker whose leg was severed below the knee continued his ride, apparently unaware of his loss.
The office worker, who was not identified in the story, said he felt extreme pain after hitting a safety barrier on his motorcycle but rode for 1.2 miles before noticing.
One of the friends with whom he was riding retrieved the 54-year-old's body part during the outing in Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday.
He was taken to the hospital but the leg had been crushed. Motorcycle Superstore
