    Lee goes down hard

    Lee Freestyle who stunts a SV650 had a huge crash this afternoon.

    We were out at our secret spot in sth auckland and he was practising doing stoppies up to a concrete wall.

    He came in really fast and locked up his front tyre, then he released it, then he tried brake to stop hittin the wall and low sided and hit the wall at speed.

    Me and dan knew it was pretty bad just by how hard he hit it.

    Bike has twisted forks and bent up handle bars, apart from that its pretty good, cage took most of it.

    Lee has a sprained angle and a destroyed left wrist (going into surgery now) will have updates on him as they come.

    Ah Well

    Im guessing he is happy in the knowledge that riding towards a concrete wall was not the smartest thing he has ever done?
    Insurance payout will be tough.

    What a f*cking pointless waste of a good SV650. Tell you what, next time you dipshits want to get rid of one, just ask me, I'll take it off your hands rather than have you ride the damn thing into a wall.

    Hope Lee makes an uneventful recovery! Sucks when stunts go wrong...

    DUN...Dun...dun

    One question though. Cage took most of it. What cage?

    yeah his custom made cage, its pretty sweet, but it tends to make the bike roll a bit to much so hes rebuildin it

    can see the top of it in those 2 pics, were it attaches to the frame

    Stunt cage. Comes in various shapes/sizes, but basic idea is that it mounts around the sides of the bike, to protect the engine/frame when it falls on its side. Made from tubes of steel (or metal at least).

    Downside (from road riding point of view) is that clearance on lean angle is diminished, but not a major for the stunters.
