Finish it off? How did that finish it off? Do you really think they did more to it dragging it slowly up the hill than he did to it when he crashed it? I mean, what particular part of it was pristine before they dragged it up the hill exactly that got ruined by dragging it up?
I think you guys are a little sentimental...the bike is exactly as crashed up now as it was before they dragged it back up the hill.

There's no way to really tell from the vid how bad off it was before they yanked it up the hill like that, but the way they did it did not help the damage situation at all. I dont think you can say that dragging a bike up a hill like that doesn't do any damage to it.
There were at least two other ways to get it up the hill. The best would probably have been to use a boom. If that wasn't a possibility, I would have stood the bike up and tried to pull it.

What got hurt? More scratches in the tank? Bent lever?
I'm not saying that dragging a bike around is my #1 method of transport. I'm with you guys that you get a little pang of regret when you watch the video, but if you think about it, they didn't do anything to it that wasn't already done by the road and the trees.

What damage would it do?
Who knows what pulling a 550lb bike up a steep, rocky hill could do to it.
All I'm saying is that it didn't do the bike any good.
And if somebody planned on fixing it up, then flipping it and dragging it up a hill with a truck couldn't have helped with the rebuild.
You are assuming that anything that could be broken by dragging it up the hill was already broken by the initial spill.
I don't think that assumption can really be made.
I slid a dirtbike into a 20ft deep rock bottom ravine and hit a tree (sapling which finally stopped me. All I got was a badly burned up leg (man, that hurt), but the bike was actually ok. If I had dragged it out of the ditch with a truck, I could have bitched it up way worse than the couple of scratches it had from the spill.
Maybe the bike in the vid was screwed before the drag, maybe it wasn't...
As far as being sentimental.... maybe a little..

you know what. THE BIKE CRASHED, ITS ALREADY BROKEN!!!!!!!!!
If that was the "bellends" choice of retreival.OK just means more spares allround. OR he may have realised he had to spend money and fix it. a few more scratches on broken panels and paint maybe a new broken lever, so what its his money.
not my chice of retrieval but mines a streetfighter now too so no plastic to repair heh heh
