Biking vicar breaks wrist in service stunt

American pastor comes unstuck in holy motorcycle demonstration

AN AMERICAN bike-mad Vicar who used a dirt bike during a church service to demonstrate the concept of unity came unstuck after breaking his wrist executing a five-foot jump.

Jeff Harlow, the senior pastor at Crossroads Community Church, lost control of the motorcycle at the start of Sunday's service, ending up landing into the vacant first row of seats.

"Jeff has already laughed a lot, so he's OK. I think his pride was bruised," said his wife, Becky.

"He had this idea that he would bring this bike out onstage and show people how the rider would become one with the bike," she told the Kokomo Tribune.

"He was going to just sit on it and drive it out. He was just walking the dirt bike out onstage and somehow it got away from him. It was not intended."

Pray he doesn't come down a street near you. And if you need a service, you know who NOT to call.

EDITED:

I hope he gets better and learns from his mistakes.

Whilst I admire the man's devotion - to bikes - I can't help but think this was a completely stupid idea. Everyone knows that to show unity he should have been doing wheelies down the aisle - not jumping a gap. Honestly.
