|  Wanted to share- Bad Crash- Hwy 74 California- Sorry no pictures
Hey All, Please be very care full out there. I did not see this accident and can only go by what I was told. A casual friend was clipped by an SUV that crossed over a double yellow line as he came out of a blind decreasing radius turn apparently to fast. The bike is a new/newer GSXR 750 (07 I think) and is totaled. Damage to the bike from what I can readily see, is the steering head is completely broken off at the welds about 10 inches back on the frame, all plastics and gas tank are toast, radiator is damaged, engine case covers, handlebar bent and more that I can not readily see. Rider ended up with just a broken arm luckily and sore, yes he was in full gear thank God. Had my friend been over just a little more to the left side of his lane, it would not have been a clip, it would have been a head on he said. Please know the roads and the conditions and ride safe. Bill |
