Did the deep silty dust get him?? reminds me of Southern Utah where I've had friends in the same situation...
you've all heard the expression that the camera adds 10 lbs - i would contend that it also makes the terrain look flat!
Why do y'all let your bike lay there and take a photo? When I drop mine my first instinct is to get the bike back upright as quick as I can so oil and gas don't go places I don't want it.
After dropping a moto many times, priorities get better organized: 1) Are you physically hurt, No? then 2) Document so you can remember or better yet, so you can tell everyone else about the tip over. OR get even after a earlier photo was taken of you. 3) If gravity moved oil or gas somewhere else in the motorcycle, gravity will move it back to where it came from (usually). Dual sport motorcycles can and do take a lot of abuse. Scratches, gouges, cracks, and even bent parts are a sign of good times past. Over a beer, "Remember the water crossing with the buried log that dented your.....?"
I have a record of each time I've dropped the Strom,7 and counting since 1/01/14,that's what happens to me at least when I ride off road in dirt,snow,and shit like that,I have the count on my right side pannier.
I rode it from Silverton to Ophir - downhill. This section was a lot rougher than it looked in the videos I watched before.
Went from this To this If you look at the top "V" that is where the bike had layer for two months. Had about a 100 foot fall with the bike
It sat there for over two months. Insurance company was going to get a chopper to recover it. I was able to get a group together and we spent two days working her out. No company was willing to recover it. It was more than a mile up the mtn from the road and the trail to get to the top was only accessible by bike and atv. Im just happy and surprised I came away with only a few bumps and sore as hell for a couple days.
