Holy shit! When you said you had a story about the guy, you weren't kidding!!!
I'm glad he was ok and good on you for taking care of him!
That last picture of the Street Tripple on that shitty little stretch of Pavement that wants to slide into the ocean....
Well, less than a mile before that (to the north toward Westport), is where the Guy on the Blue ST that we met, went off the road. We stopped at the Westport store for a beer just me and him, because Mitch headed on in with his Super Sport, because the hour was getting late.. I said "Hey lets stop at the store for a beer" so we did. I went in and bought a beer, but he stayed outside. The Guy had brought his own Shiny chrome Snifter and a Coke to mix up a Highball. Actually he had two shiny chrome snifters. I said to myself Hmmmnnn.??...
Anyway after 15 minutes or so we got back on the bikes, for the 20 minute ride into town, and I had him lead the way, because I was going to turn off on my driveway In Inglenook, and he was going all the way in to town to meet with his friend. So immediately after taking off I noticed that he couldn't ride anymore, Difficulty keeping it in the lane and such, and I was starting to get worried that he might wreck. I started to think what to do? What to do? And then, just before that place where you took the picture, less than a mile from the Westport store, he went off the side of the road, over the bars, and down the bank into the brush...
I thought Oh no! I hope that isn't a place where there is a bluff! I didn't recall a bluff on that turn but.....I could be wrong. Good thing for him it wasn't a turn with a bluff. That place was two more turns down the road.
I gave him a ride into town after that, and just left his bike there over night because he couldn't ride. It was going to be dark soon and probably no one would notice. We got the ST towed up the hill the next morning with a rope and a truck and two extra people.
Nobody was hurt but he was real lucky. I think his liver is gone or something, that stuff just bypassed the filter and went straight into his blood. I just didn't even expect that at all. I don't think he was drinking before because he rode fine for 50 Miles or so.
