well what you cant really see is that the bike went underneath the guardrail right at the point where the wooden post went between the rear wheel and the subframe....demolishing and shearing his exhaust cans....

Bad color scheme here at work computer won't lemme see his tires correctly. How bad or good were they and what brand are they?
The bike is gravy, good thing he is alive!

Mike, it happen yesterday during the President's day ride. He crashed at the big turn out. Tires looked like they were pretty worn out. Are those the same Pilot H2's?

Who's the guy in the picture with the Cortech pants? I was thinking about getting the Cortech GX pant, wondering if he has any opinions.

He had on Michelin Pilot Race 2s. I think they were medium compound.

:clap: :clap: :clap: You know Sean's getting high off his own supply!

-But a real note, I never liked gunning it through that turn too fast. I always had someone on my shoulder telling me to slow down around the -turn-out just in case a cager is making a sudden left for some pictures! :errf:

well I never liked that turn, I was talking to stroble about it and I was telling him that some people say that that is their favorite turn, and thats where they dragged knee for the first time. I dont know maybe its because Ive seen a couple of crashes there, or maybe because its a fast turn and I get wussy in those faster sweepers....who knows...its kinda like the skidpad for me, justnot my cup of tea

It is at a shop now being evaluated. It is not a total loss and will be fixable. He is excited to get new parts on the bike.
