OMG, his last face expression :smile:
 


C'mon Ivan. My face can't contort like that, though there have been times on some of my bikes that I have felt my cheeks rippling. Breaking triple-digits with no windshield can do that.
 


That dude must have been on some pretty serious drugs; there's no way that a Hyundai alone could evoke any sort of response.
 


Maybe he got the repair bill...

How do you know? :biggrin:

No doubt I've made some funny faces a few times. In particulars what comes to mind are those slow-motion moments that occur between the time when you know you are unavoidably going down, but before you hit the ground, on a motorcycle - those times when you have the time to think about how much this is going to hurt!

That always made me feel like Wiley Coyote going off of a cliff. The feet drop, then there's that look of "oh ****", then the rest kind of stretches out and leaves the ears behind.
