Oh damn, I hope everyone's mostly OK (esp. the guy that fell off a damn mountain.)

Those bikes look seriously wrecked.

I was just talking to him on facebook... IRONICALLY the guy who fell off the side of the mountain had his bike pulled up with a tow strap and rode it home unharmed....

am I interpreting him correctly that a Gixxer 1K heading the opposite direction blew the turn, entered his lane and took him and his buddy out?

Gixxer owner better have insurance, cause unfortunately I don't think that F4's gonna pull through.

Hope you heal up quick iJap!

after speaking with him a bit more this is exactly what happened, everyone ended up being okay, they all had full gear on...

he is going after a claim and going to try and pick up a RR

Glad he's okay. I had a close call tonight myself while down shifting in a curve on wet pavement.
