And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Gonna be a fire when the part with the battery hits the pavement, see that stream of fuel by the rear wheel? Did the same thing, but my bike hit the ground bounced up, slamed sideways into a concrete wall, it ground the throttled WOT went racing down the wall, hit a camera cutout and high sided again, battery exploaded, lit the trail a fuel, near a hundred yards back to where i was laying knocked out, if it wasnt for the great bravery of a corner marshall who ran out with two fire extinguishers, stood over me and when the flame got back to us he pulled both triggers, saved my life big time, BIG TIME, had fuel up inside my helmet, my leathers where soaked in fuel, probably would have been dead. It was my lucky day tell you what!
It takes a big impact to rip the steering head from the frame spars. I wonder if the brake lines eventually parted and the wheel bounced on alone, they look to be at full stretch.
Wow where’s the rider

That was my first thought. Then I figured that he's in the ambulance.
DeleteNaw John. The amblamps don't get there that quick.

ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for that. Glad you’re still here!
DeleteWhile I haven't wrecked like that, the ones I've had certainly FELT like it. Scratch another KTM.
