Boy Howdy, Thats a hard leason learned and a Pretty dumb move.

Man oh man and I thought I was bad...

1. he will now get manicures 1/3 off
2. He can't pick his nose with those fingers
3. You put it in neutral with the engine off and spin the rear wheel by hand, Im assuming he knows this now though

could have been worse

Why was he putting wd-40 on the chain? Don't motorcycle owners know to use chain lube? lol

Happend to my friend on his bicycle when he was riding it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as this.

Oh one more random comment. My dad is missing part of his index finger because of a carpentry accident years ago. Whenever we play ping pong and the ball hits his nub, well, looks like it hurts like a mofo! The fingers are sensitive..

yeah one of my sisters middle fingers is a nubber from getting slammed in a heavy door at some party. She can't tap it on a table without looking like someone poked a tooth cavity with a metal tooth pick. I imagine thats why they had to cut the dudes fingers so low to cut out bone and have enough skin to wrap around it thick..ewwww.ouchy

Red must be his favorite color. :oops:

Definately a hard lesson learned. Gonna make it kinda tough to ride too. Fronts brakes come in handy from time to time.

Typing on the forums must be exciting now too. :neutral:

Wow, just wow.

Meh, he can still ride.

Ditto;
I was grinding a small peice of metal in a pair of vise grips on a 12" stone bench grinder, The metal got pulled through and my left index finger caught the edge of the wheel. In the split second it touched, it took the meat to the bone so I had a large deep divit in the top of my finger. It healed very quickly but to this day, 5+ yrs later if that scare tissue it bumped,touched or clunked I'm tap dancing across the shop.
All them nerve endings doing this >:whip::whip::whip:

Honestly, I would expect (and was expecting) much worse! :yes:

I mean, it's not exactly a BMX chain on that bike!

Safety first.
 

I have been in a position of supervision for a long time and we always tell whoever is working with machinery that safety always comes first. That is just plain stupid from what I can see.

My first experience was working in a Vo-Tech class when I was 14. This kid was cutting 1/4" masonite on the tablesaw, into 1" strips. The only problem was that he had the blade set up to cut through 4" X 4" poles. I tried telling him that he needed to lower the blade, but he just started cutting anyway to show me who was the smart a$$. I watched him cut all of his fingers off below the second knuckle and he did not even realize what he had done until he turned his hand over, and the fingers were only hagning on by the upper skin. Most of the kids in the class were vomitting all over the shop. I could not go near the tablesaw for quite a while after watching that dumb a$$.

Should we club together and get him a paper shredder? Or would that be bad taste? Maybe some of those plastic kids scissors that will not cut skin.

Seriously... He was on drugs. NWIH you could do that and not feel it until you cut 4 fingers, otherwise.

Ya know.
 

Ya know we cannot help but feel bad for this guy. We all try to find our own ways of overcoming stuff with techniques that we dream up on our own, but what a way to find out that this is not a good way to clean your motorcycle chain.

I think the worst thing that I have ever done was trying to test an HO scale car(12 volt) by attaching wires to the little sled strips and putting the wires into a 120volt recepticle when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Luckily for me it ran for about 30 to 60 seconds(screeming crazy fast) and then the fuse blew in our main panel. I could not see for like ten minutes or so, but when I got my sight back there was a eight inch black circle on the wall over the recepticle area. It could have been much worse, but what a laugh my brother and I had after the shock wore off. I thought I was dead.

That sucks to lose apendages like that, but at least it did not pull his whole arm into the mix. Yea what a dusche, but you know he feels like a real weaner. I hope next time he wears gloves, ha ha ha ha ha ha. Sorry I could not help myself. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Life sure is cruel sometimes.

I feel for that guy.

I never put my fingers near sharp, large, heavy, powerful moving things...

As most know, any current engine that is fuel injected and ECU controlled has its idle RPM watched and monitored by the ECU. If there is a load that drops the RPM below desired idle speed, the ECU will increase throttle until the idle speed is maintained. This is why, for most manual cars, if you are on completely flat ground, you can slowly let the clutch out without touching the gas pedal and the car will eventually get going.

That being said, the amount of power some of these things produce at idle can be quite extraordinary, even at minimal throttle inputs. Add that in to the fact he was more than likely in first gear (lots of gear reduction resulting in a lot of torque), means that even though his bike was idling, that wheel was being spun with quite a bit of force.

I feel bad for the dude...that's a sh!tty way to learn.

One for the Darwin awards....

I've done silly things before too, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people think cleaning or working on a running engine/ piece of machinery is a good idea; sometimes you have to, but for God's sake keep your hands away from the spinny-roundy bits... :/

Darwin awards are only if the guy manages to remove his genes from the gene pool (usually death, but I've heard of a few situations where a living guy has won since he was...uhhh...neutered).

>_<

Fair-dos...

Arrghh .. that's gotta hurt!!
