Don't need a picture, it happened to me about 17 years ago. High-sided an
XS1100 and used my face as a brake. One good thing is I can tell you that
facial injuries heal rather well... but I wouldn't recommend trying it!! I
normally always wear a full-face but for some reason I still can't fathom on
that particular ride I didn't. Walking around holding your face in place with
a towel (not to mention spitting out the broken teeth) is an experience I hope
none of you have to endure! I'll go back to lurking now....
