Rider hurt his shoulder - but otherwise he's OK

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Very scary for everyone. It's amazing that none of the following riders hit him or the bike and it got real close there for a bit. Whew!
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Bike #969 hit the downed bike with his left ankle - but the shoulder (down rider) and the ankle were the only injuries - coulda been bad
