RE: Rider down
Glad to hear he is OK. I often see pics of wrecked rides, and I ask myself, whyis it that everytime I see a wrecked bike, be it honda, kawi, yama or suzuki, it always seems like the honda holds up better> I've seen pics of hondas, and it's like,,,,, yea he crashed, but look at other pics of bikes and it's like, holy hell, he crashed it big time???? I know we are all partial to honda and all, but the others seem to really take a beating when they go down. I don't know the particulars of this crash, or any other thatI mention, so maybe I'm full of
****, but just an observation is all.

RE: Rider down
i disagree, sportbikes are becoming more and more agile, with technology surpassing the highest expectations within the sportbike generations. They get better and better each year, and yea, they try to get rid of heavy fairings and unneccessary metal, but thats to better the name of the king of motorcycles...Sportbikes.

RE: Rider down
We had a guy go down Friday evening and He didnt make it. he was mergin into traffic and got hit. It hit him off of the bridge, over it onto the under pass. The guys he was riding with ( know them and know they are posers) just left him there. Its sad, because when you ride with a group, you think its a good idea so someone can be there for you if something happens, but they just left him there to die. It was sad, i havent seen the ****heads yet, but they better not even talk about it. Cause i will call them out on it.
Still pisses me off thinking about it.

Hey Leveltwo; where was it on 94 on the way to Hermann? When I wiped out it was about 8-10 miles east of Hermann on 94 - where the road is extremely hilly and twisty once you get past all of the farm fields.
Oh, I also saw Natoli in the one pic with his 636
