Unless you are a monk. Then it's noble.
Monks are respectable. That's the only way they survived in the old days

Looks like he won't be riding for a while if ever. He looks like he's in rough shape. Regardless if you donate or not, it's something to keep into perspective when we ride -- I know often times even I forget about the possible implications of riding and it's good to just keep this at the back of your head so you're safe at all times.
It's sad though, guy looked like he had full gear in his original picture (if his gloves were removed, otherwise he probably wasn't wearing gloves and you could disregard that prior statement) meanwhile I can go through tonnes of videos on youtube of stunting squids who crash and get up scotch free. The broken bones I can understand, no leathers would protect that, but the ripped up hands are relatively freaky to think about in comparison to those aforementioned squids on youtube.
Needless to say from the extent of his injuries, he seems pretty lucky to be alive and he doesn't seem too bothered by the idea he'll be missing a couple fingers maybe because he knows that a the loss of a couple fingers is better than the loss of the life and leaving behind your kid.
I Feel bad for the guy.

This is Psycho44 here, can't remember my login details.
I'm still in Vietnam for almost a year now. Can somehow relate to a Canadian expat getting into a motorbike accident and the finances. My first week in Vietnam I got taken out by an 80 year old lady that hit me in the rear as I'm riding right next to her and she decides to turn right. Asians don't check mirrors or swivel their heads. Anyways just minor road rashes.
Getting back to M13. I had great admiration seeing his earlier videos when I got into riding. The Diesel video changed my perspective a bit. You're in Asia this is normal. We're not in Canada. Treat the locals with respect and they will treat every other Canadian that follows with the same respect. But no matter what he's a fellow Canadian and a passionate rider. Accidents happen. You have my support M13 if you still have your Canadian roots and read this.
Just some perspective from a fellow expat Canadian rider.

Seems M13 great guy helping his fellow riders. Not afraid to ask for sponsorship. I can see why he would ask for donations as well. great trait to have.

Thanks for the link. I stopped watching his videos years ago but would love to help a brother in need. He was one of the reasons I started riding and seeing this video when I was an angsty 16 year old did a lot for me at the time: [video=youtube;HguIe5oE0Qo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HguIe5oE0Qo[/video]
