Tie your bike down properly!
Yesterday i was traveling north on I5 just comming out of sandiego. I noticed a RV towing a trailer with a very nice YZ on it, and just as i got up behind it guess what?
It went over a very small bump and the rest is history. The bike left the trailer, and went for at least a 500 yard "death drag". it looked like it took some real damage (lots of sparks!) and i felt very bad for the guy. Luckily for him though, it went on the drag, if it had come loose it would have been much worse since several cars would have gone right over it.
Hopefully we can learn from this, and i am sure many people have done the hard way also.
Appologies to the webmaster foor the placement of this thread....i couldnt think where to put it, but somewhere with the most coverage would be best i suppose.
cheers
