Just outside Oakridge, we ran into a big wreck on the highway. A semi truck had gone off the shoulder and taken out a few trees. It appeared that the driver was standing with the police at the side of the road. The truck was pretty well obliterated so perhaps we were wrong.
Dual Sporting with a PC800
Today Drew and I went up around Marys Peak on his recently acquired Yamaha XT225 and my Honda Pacific Coast. I’ve ridden most of these roads before so it was my pleasure to introduce Drew to them.
In the middle of nowhere on our bikes.
Drew with his new toy.
Me with my PC800.
A short while later while riding along, my back end slid out and took me and my whole bike with it. The action starts around 50 seconds into the above video. I was fine and the bike was fine. No damage to anyone other than a bruise on my right leg. Yes, my right leg. I must have whacked the foot peg when I went down on the LEFT side.
Road marks. It was very deep gravel on top of sand or something similar that looked like it was nice and compacted.
No real damage to the PC800. Just the Mick-O-Peg bent in a bit. A little pushing and it was back in the right position.
Once I get a dual sport, we’ll explore this road. The PC800 is too valuable to go crashing very often!
