A friend and I were out yesterday on the Groms and he went down. At his request I will not post photos or say who it was. He's hurt, left collar bone and right arm, but the bike took the worst of it thankfully. Who knew that Grom can break a concrete culvert into more than three pieces? Lets hope he has a speedy recovery.


And please ride safe above all else.:smile:

OH MY! I'm glad he is ok! Bikes can be repaired/purchased again, we can't so easily...

Hope he heals up soon! Not fun to drop your new bike!

new frame can be bought.. so can every other piece.. ask John.. but if not.. i got $500 ready to buy

I hope he got his collar bone x-rayed! From what you said about the bike i'm surprised he didn't break it, surprised but glad he did not!

 

[jmzd4]

the collar bone was broke, no doubt about it.

Sorry to hear! Hope he gets better soon.
Just because these bikes are smaller doesn't mean they are any "safer" than other motorbikes. All it takes is a driver not paying attention or road conditions..etc
I see a lot of people on this forum riding around in T-shirts, Shorts, flipflops.... Road rash is NOT fun. Better to break a bone. Ask me how I know.

it will need lots of work, cant even get power to turn on or get it into neutral

Same with mine, Firefighters had to carry it back to the firehouse. He can always try to part it out to recover some of his money!

Damn a broken collar bone is not fun! However, I would take that over a concussion any day! Hope it heals up soon!

In wet or dry?

 

[Sassy Chassis]

Sorry to hear about it. :serious:

 

[jmzd4]

perfect dry conditions

Almost forgot, a heal well soon to the unlucky driver.

So sorry to hear this. I used to think crashing was the worst part of riding motorcycles. I was wrong. The worst part is when your friends die.

This is a dangerous sport let us never forget that.

Here is to a speedy recovery.

Also, left collar bone and right arm? Gonna be hard to wipe for a while.
