Pastor Injured in Dirt Bike Accident During Church Service

KOKOMO, Ind. — A pastor brought out a dirt bike during a church service to demonstrate the concept of unity. Now he's demonstrating the concept of healing.
Jeff Harlow, the senior pastor at Crossroads Community Church, broke his wrist when he lost control of the motorcycle at the start of Sunday's second service, driving off a 5-foot platform and into the vacant first row of seats. He underwent surgery on the wrist Monday.
"Jeff has already laughed a lot, so he's OK. I think his pride was bruised," said his wife, Becky.
Becky Harlow said her husband had recently attended a motorcycle race in Buchanan, Mich.
"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."
No one else was hurt.
Jeff Harlow had performed the demonstration at earlier services Saturday night and Sunday morning without incident.

The Shop
All of those Red Budd fans are wild.
If he wanted to make his experiment successful, he should have had training, or had someone that does ride from his church run the bike. Just another person thinking all that is involved with riding a motorcycle is twisting the throttle.
The minister is a moron.
Pit Row
It's one thing if the Pastor is an avid MX rider and can somehow share his experiences of riding a bike(not crashing) and the word of god together.
When it is someone that knows nothing about the sport and what is involved, the dude is not very smart and I would never go back to his church.
