I think he was rear ended by the ground after he couldn't hang on to the balance point.

That's what happened to mine...the rear passenger footpegs on the 05 models are a part of the subframe and when they touched-down onto the pavement after I was cut off by a tractor trailor they (the rear foot pegs) ended up warping the frame slightly. Other than that my Tiger (after having been dragged for about 20 ft underneath the truck) was still ok. Was the rider injured...? Thrown from the bike...? |

Other than the dangling pipe isn't that the normal angle of the rear end of the Tiger?

WTF?
How exactly does that happen? Waht was the front of the bike up against? Looking at the coloring of the ground behind the bike, I'm calling BS on this one. edit: apparently you were 5 hours late http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=253937
