Re: Cager Helps NH Riders


Thanks for posting that Steve. As lead, I was the last to know we had a rider down. As I pulled up to the scene expecting the worst, I was relieved to see the rider was fine! And as they muscled the 675 out of the swamp I realized that we were being assisted by a stranger.

As you pointed out, this was a guy who stopped his car and got muddy just to help out. Class act. No recriminations.

Apparently that corner bites a few every year. Our guy target fixated on sand, rode right into it, (the sand was well off the line...), applied too much rear brake and sort of high sided off. The bike continued on its own into the marsh! Inexperience...nothing else.

Anyway, thanks to that gent for his help and you for posting up!

(BTW..tried to find his number to call and thank him...no joy!)

Dave
