Add Randomly Falling Trees to the List of Things to Be Afraid of While Riding a Motorcycle

Someone is supposed to yell "timber," right?

It turns out that George of the Jungle isn't the only one who needs to watch out for trees. This poor motorcycle rider was out for a nice afternoon ride with his buddy, taking the same route that they probably always took, when out of nowhere a tree decided that it didn't like his face and smacked him in it. Lucky for us, the rider was wearing a helmet cam and caught it all on camera. At first it doesn't look like such a big deal because he manages to keep the bike upright and is talking, but then he has to stop and lie down as his friend doubles back to help me out. They eventually return to their ride with a story to tell and the footage (and scars) to back it up.
