A friend of mine having a bad day, we laugh about it now but he broke 2 ribs and his wrist during this event. I took the photo and have the entire sequence, this was the "money shot" though.

He's lucky it wasn't worse. From the looks of that picture his potential fatherhood prospects would seem to be in doubt, as in ripped right off by the handlebars.

Then you have probably been to my hometown. Twenty miles West of Morgan City is Franklin. Born on a cane plantation and raised in Franklin. My dad had a fishing camp in the marsh south of Morgan City.

Thanks! That was early this morning, looking out of a 2nd-story window facing east...not bad considering my basic old point-and-shoot camera and lack of skill with it.

Joan Archer

It's a good shot well done Randy.
