Default Stay safe guys.

Went to a rally today and had a rider go down. He was with us going to the rally and left early with two other guys. A group of other riders showed up and told us the story.

On the way down the cty road, there is a steep incline double S. He was going down it and moved over because a car was too close. He got into some rocks and he went down. His tank was at the top of the hill, his bike I was told flipped down a good ways and he slid into the ditch part. A heli landed on the road and flew him out. The guys said if he would have gone down a little farther down the incline, he probably would have gone over the side.

Here's his girl.

Yup. If he keeps it, he may be able to sell the engine and wheels. Maybe the swingarm.
