Took a nap 3 times on a trail south of Laguna de Chapala, just south of Guadalajara, Mexico. Pretty tame drops, though. Note: only one was a result of poor riding skills. Honest!
A simple case of too much scenery, not enough attention span. I assume the loose rocks you see around the bike were at one point under my tires as I was... I dunno, checking out a cool tree. The tire tracks that seemingly make a hard right just behind the rear tire crack me up.
What the heck made a hole like that? And are you sure you're not pissing it off by standing in it? I'd be worried about a badger taking a chunk out of my leg! That had to be a heck of a ride. How fast were you going when the front wheel fell in?
Very sad thread. I've dropped dirt bikes a few times, usually with very little damage, but never a street bike, or even a dual sport bike. I love machines, especially motorcycles, and seeing pictures of crashed ones is almost heartbreaking. For some reason I don't feel so bad for all the sport bikes getting crashed on youtube. Their riders did everything possible to crash, and I don't tend to care much what happens to sport bikes anyway.
It was a 2007 GSXR 1000 - met a car head on :eek1:eek1 Car was going the wrong way on a one way raod and we met on a blind corner .................... Bike was less than a week old, about 70 miles on the clock I ended up with a badly broken arm and wrist but all pretty well sorted now
