Death of a GS

[RedRick Esq.]

This is my mate steve's GS Triple black after a un explainable fall ( Steve is not his real name)

It really was a difficult fall to work out and that is after watching the video of it dozens of times

Any way the result of a 49MPH tumble is this and a write off

Never mind the bike - how is "Steve"?

 

[Nice 'n' Fat]

Is he buying it back?

 

[Tractors are go]

Bit of T-cut, it'll be fine.

Hopefully Col. Austin fully recovers !

Rather pissed off, I'd imagine.

Time we all had a bier .... and you can tell me all about that thar Duck o' yours

Back tyre looks flat

Did that happen before or during the crash ? Could be the cause ?

Hope yer mate is OK

Not for me to post it ! but it really is difficult to see what went wrong

looks a nasty one under a barrier, hope you mate is ok

Stood up without a scratch but if you have ever seen a mouse go under a door .... you know it won't fit but it does well that was him going under the Armco

I was so very relieved to see him stand up as it was scary

The Armco had to be dismantled to get the bike out

Looking at the verges, gravel is likely answer to his spill. Since bike is UK registered and appear to be in France at the time of crash, was it loaded with gear incorrectly?

It was Spain ( Picos) and no Gravel as everyone else had no issues we checked the road surface very carefully as it looked just like an oil spill type off but it wasn't and no loading on the bike other than the rider

He was lucky you were there to stand around taking pictures of it

 

[JJH]

Are the forks broken or bent? JJH

 

[Roadrash Rider]

View from the other end were it happened, coming through a right hander.

Twas a long slide

I'm sure in some way Rick was to blame for this

Sorry for the wrong assumptions then.

What about wrong gear to much punch out the corner?
