Ouch!

This guy must be a super badass. That, or he's staggeringly unobservant.

A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for more than a mile, leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

Now, I realize that he could hardly be expected to do it himself, but that's got to be a damn close friend. You don't just ask a casual acquaintance to go back and retrieve one of your severed limbs, now do you?

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

And none of the other people he was with noticed that he was short a leg, either? That's the kind of detail I like to think I would pick up on.
