[the result of too much bad plastic surgery.]
Lol, you’re right, he had to be flown back home to his plastic surgeon because his jaw implants were shattered.
I hope the bike is okay.
His fourth Purple Heart.
Shouldn’t he have to go before the Obamacare Death Panels to see if it is worth setting a bone for someone his age or be given the blue pill?
Pray America is waking
Ha...he should have gone windsurfing with Branson
My guess though is that Mr. Mercat does not treat his work and family life as a distraction from bike riding and other sports; nor while doing so does he pose for a bevy of news cameras as if to tout his youthful fitness and vigor.
Indeed, Kerry’s accident happened while he was on his 162nd round of Iran talks in Europe. He spends more time meeting with Iranian FM Zarif than he does in the US these days!
...after his bike apparently his a curb, causing the fall, Kirby said.
Wow, the bike did all that, all on its own?
It’s a poor workman that blames his tools.
I feel anothjer Purple Heart coming on.
Great story!
Will he get a 3 wheeler now ?
skinned his knee
Kerry his a curb four what again?
“I can’t confirm this but this appears to to be the last photo taken of Kerry before the crash...”
No helmet plus it takes an idiot to wear flip flop sandals trying to pedal a bike - the feet are not stable. Kerry is a dunce anyway.
“All my years on a bike....never hit a curb...”
We must outlaw curbs in foreign countries, never let our citizens near those communist/liberal/terrorist curbs. Why has it taken this many years to deal with these satan inspired curbs?
I am a cyclists. I know how it is to hit the ground. I crashed once when the person in front of me cause a sudden move and we touched wheels and of course my front wheel stopped sending me down. I hit flat on the back of my head. Thank GOD for bike helmets. It I had not had it my head would have burst like a dropped watermelon. As it was, I was knocked out for about 15 or so seconds, and got a concussion from it. Scary stuff when you crash when rolling along at 20 MPH or so.
