Forum member Smmz1000 and I are out for a little canyon blasting session earlier this week. Clear the twisties and almost home. Michael stands up at about 50-60ish to stretch his legs as I follow behing in a sit down. Michael's left footpeg snaps off at the infamous bolt we all know so much about. I look down and see 10mph as he has a HUGE get off and hits the tarmac. Full gear minus leather bottoms...big mistake ya'll!! Be safe homies, wear that gear yo:fact If he would have been in full leathers he would have been unscathed fo the most part. Road rash to lower trunk, fracture in thumb, other than that hes fine.
Enjoy the pics :eek:

I dont know... the tank looks ok ;)

Damn, looks like he got pretty lucky to come out of a getoff like that and have nothing more than some road rash :thumbup
Good luck to him and hope he heals quick
