Pokey151 244 Posted February 23, 2017 Hey guys, I met a few of you before when I picked up my little WR250R in prep for the TAT last year, well we attempted it but failed, I made the brutal mistake of upgrading everything possible except the suspension (I even knew better but quite frankly ran out of money) anyways on day 3 my overloaded bike decided it had enough of me riding it. I got thrown off at 65mph. Severely dislocated shoulder, multiple broken ribs, punctured lung and ruptured spleen later, along with a totaled bike. My trip ended. So I've been without a dualsport since September. Well I just converted my YZ450F over, so looking to ride again. I am waiting on an 18" rear wheel, then I can run proper tires. Right now I have a supermoto wheel set and my MX set but looking to hook up and ride more. I think I should get my rear wheel next week. Anyways glad to be back and I miss all the previous trips leading up to my vacation. We are attempting it again late spring. See you around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No unfortunately, I turned my gopro off 10 min before, my buddy looked back as my bike pitched sideways. That's about it.. Here's my helmet and a shot from the Ambulance. It was an hour wait for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
