I threw a rod on a bike about 3 years ago. It put a hole on the front of the motor bigger than my fist. I pulled in the clutch and coasted to the side of the road. It was 12am and I was doing about 130mph on I-70. motor didn't stop till I hit the kill switch. Bike was a '04 ZRX1200R. Could have been real bad.

I dunno, that REALLY looks like his hand. I doubt a piston with enough force to punch straight through a cylinder head would just bounce off
