Well, it rained all day Saturday. I never even took the bike off the trailer. I was driving through after lunch just to have something to do, and there was this 13 year old girl screamin "MY DAD, MY DAD!" standing next to a Mini Copper that was on it side/roof. It had just happened. i was the only person there and he was still inside the car. I helped out there for about an hour. Both wound up going to the hospital but I think they were pretty much OK.

Today (Sunday) was really nice, until......
A father/son (son on Gixxer and dad on a Hyabusa) crashed big-time right in front of me. So, I stopped and helped again. It was an ugly crash. The dad was behind the son and (IMHO) crashed because he paniced when he saw his son crashing, and locked the rear wheel. But that's a story for another day....

The son wound up lying under the guardrail. Yes, he was LUCKY! He slid dead center between two support posts.
He sliced his leg open on the front and I got to see his bone and tendons and such. Not that that was something I had wanted to do....
Dad's bike stopped off the edge of the road but dad tumbled a LONG way down the bank. And I do mean a long way; 100 feet or so.
He was pretty banged up. I stayed "up top" but 2 or 3 went down to tend to him. I hear he had a pretty bad broken collar bone/shoulder and maybe some busted ribs, and more?

They both went on an ambulance ride.

The son, I'd guess he was 20 or so, had on a leather jacket and gloves, but only jeans and sneakers. Had he been wearing good gear, he likely would have had only a scratched knuckle.

Bad thing, they were down from Pennsylvania and I'm sure crashing screwed up their plans, and probably has some family/friends real worried long about now.

For those who know the road, they crashed right at the start of the guardrail, going south, just as you approach picnic table turn. The left turn right where the guardrail starts.

Anyways, I love the road, but sure hate to see folks ride faster than they should (not knowing the road backwards and forwards) then crash and screw everything up.

I have seen waayyy too many guys crash there. And some were really, really ugly.

Anyways, that was my weekend.

See you at The Gap?
