Wow - a 400 yard skid! He must've been movin'.....

Hope he is all right....

Wow I am amazed that it skidded that far and did start flipping.

[KillBill]

Exactly....400 yards and no flip? Maybe they estimated the distance
wrong and meant 400 feet

Hope he recovers quickly.

ewwwww........hope its just some rash and no head trauma. A stern lesson in what can happen is what got me wearing leathers.....walked away from a couple of bad ones.

Best wishes to the pilot

400 yards is far, but Ive seen a bike slide forever without flipping. Last year I was ridin on 57 with Headstrong when he lowsided at the top of a hill and after just missing him I followed the r6 all the way down the hill. It was a pretty solid distance (not 400) tho. Enough to grind the frame slider down through the bolt head. Hope this guy in Gardner is alright.

Bike still looks just fine. Hopefully the rider was as lucky.

Im thinkin the right side has got to be pretty hammered. The trail of sand soaking up coolant/ oil says hes gonna be spending som cash. At least it didn't flip down the road.

yup definitely needs a new endcase, but not bad at all considering.
