Title: 1st legit ride on my new Zero SR interrupted by Harley crash (video)
Post by: ticobrahe on April 19, 2016, 01:07:36 AM

Picked up bike from dealer around noon Saturday. Went to stretch her legs in the San Gabriel hills and valleys in SoCal on Sunday afternoon and happen upon a crashed Harley + minorly injured rider.

So, for all of you that have been riding these Tron bikes for a while... Is it always this exciting? Sheeeeeesh!

ATGATT!!!  Holy shmolies she was lucky that wasn't far worse!

Her half helmet was thrashed; big dent in rear-left quadrant and solid scratches over more than half. She must have been moving pretty slowly. Thankfully, she went into the berm and mountainside and wasn't on the other side of the road with only deep slope downward.

Lack of proper PPE, Lack of proper skill, Distractions (music player on blast, bike bigger than a prius, etc). She was very lucky.
