:smt010 what a mess.

Notice the head stock snapped, heard of that happening before, more than once. Doesn't appear to be a particularly weak spot though suppose it depends on the impact.

I'm just hoping the rider wasn't in as big a mess as the bike. The pictures of the clothing don't look as bad as they might do .... but not always a good guide to the state of the wearer.

Fair to say that's one falco less then, must have been one scary crash though. :smt013
