COPIAGUE, N.Y. (AP) -- A Long Island man who flipped his finger at a police cruiser and then popped a wheelie on his motorcycle is recovering from injuries after crashing.

Well, that was a self-resolving situation wasn't it? First being stupid enough to flip off the cops, *then* popping a wheelie, and finally crashing and burning right in front of them.

Here's to Frank Patti, 26, of West Islip, just two seconds (and probably one helmet) short of a well deserved Darwin Award. At least he should get honorable mention.
