After turkey day ride ...

So I went out today for a quick ride thru one of my favorite areas. Took my much loved & very capable VFR. The weather was good, nice temps. A bit more traffic than I like, but I wasn't trying to set any records, not on the street :nod:

On my way out, I came across this:

Saw some friends I knew by the side of the road & stopped to find out what had happened. My friends were also just out enjoying the day & had come up on the accident. The guy apparently came in to the turn too hot & hit the pole. The rider got away with only minor (relatively) injuries ... pretty damn lucky if you ask me. A terrible thing to do to a GSXR-750 ... but then, the extended swingarm is an insult to these gals as well :tsk:. Rider also apparently was not wearing ATG, so truly blessed if somewhat an idiot :doh:

My ride back was nice & uneventful ... the accident scene was still being worked when I went by again.

You just can't fix crazy... luckily, maybe on a wing and a prayer the rider learned something, but probably not.

 

Cant fix stupid thow. ..
Extended swing arm on a GSX.... thats blasphemy
Glad he walked away..lucky

 

No.... that's actually the standard platform for that nonsense.

 

Show, no go especially around turns I suspect
