ok, so it looks like the rider is alright, now for the important question. IS THE BIKE ALRIGHT?

The point of the thread/picture was that the gauge cluster is in the middle of the air and the tachometer is showing 10kRPM...

I'm not even sure it works when its that far away from the bike... does it have a wireless signal?


on a side note great advertisement for bridgestone...

That's one hell of a shot. Any idea what track it came from? I can pull some information from the shot (like it was taken on 2008:05:18), but the photographer didn't embed any info other than the basic that the camera records.

And if I was to guess, I'd say that the "cell phone" is the left side peg hanger.

Amazingly i patched the bike back together with a fiberglass kit and some duct tape..........replaced a clip on and raced the next day. :rockout:

Only injury was a ruptured bursa in my elbow. :dthumb:

Well I have a spare subframe and a spare gas tank, so that looks like about a 20 minute fix in the pit garages :D

Other than the bent forks that was about right. :)

Oh.....and a replacement wiring harness.

Ouch.

You've gotta crash that bike pretty hard to bend those forks.

Hmm not sure if its there... I cant picture any big grassy hills like that at grattan... but I don't pay attention to the scenery too much either. If I could see the pavement I could tell you for sure.
