    Those crash bars did their job.......NOT! Poor buggar, that one looks a bit painful.
    Perhaps it needed crash bars on the front.

    Judging by the dent in the tank, wonder if fatherhood remains a possibility for the rider (if the rider was a guy)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
