More thrills, chills, and spills from our balcony

The street below our balcony has yet again become the scene of excitement, at least for 30 minutes or so. Some young hothead on his fancy motorbike machine decided a crowded, narrow street full of car and foot traffic was the best place for showing his lady friend how fast he could go. He plowed into the rear end of a parked truck directly under our balcony.

Fortunately they came out alright, although the man might have a broken arm. His lady friend seemed more pissed off than injured although she had a nasty swollen ankle and some abrasion from the street. Fortunately they were both wearing full-face helmets, although no other protective gear.
I wanted to snap some pictures, but felt that would be impolite given the circumstances.

The kids wanted to say a special prayer for the rider before bed; it was sweet.
