ITS DONE!! ITS DOWN!!

I watched all this happen and I pull over my bike and go to check on him, but by the time I get there he is on his feet and I promptly go retreve the bike which is laying on the road fifty to seventy five feet north of us resting up against the divider. I move it off the the side of the road and turn to see that 4 cops respond, 1 State and 3 Clinton Township (Sean's Co-workers), then an ambulance arrives, of which we know the members....was a great time for Woody....a nice Easter present....he is okay and no rash or anything luckally....just a bruised ego and bike....

Sucks about your bike but least you walked away. Find out why the rear gave way?

Sorry about the wreck bro but glad your safe. From the glances I took doesnt look like that bad of damage. Hope all works out and make sure if youve got any issues on pain have them checked out better to find out now than later.
