My brother's roommate used to repair wrecked motorcycles out of my brother's garage. He'd buy the totaled bikes, fix em up and sell them to a dude who would export to Dubai or somewhere. He was never at a loss fo business.
I'd stop by occasionally and look at the shiny, banged up bikes. I once saw one, total loss, with 8 miles on the clock.

The tank slapper scene shot at the Isle of Mann TT at about 1:20 on that video resulted in the riders death. Joey Dunlop, 26 time class winner, 9 or so overalls at the Isle.

the deer strike was the scariest to me. A buddy hit a deer last year -- a pregnant doe -- and it was gruesome.

Joey Dunlop died in 2000 at a race in Estonia not at the IOM.

Thom, that dude is obviously an idiot, but it appears the girl in the video got spooked and pushed off the guy (same idiot). Poor girl...I hope the helmet helped.
