I think Ernie has observed another hiway experience that he should share with us. Ernie.......... was somebody dirt biking on a SEEG this weekend? No need to mention names......the rider should remain anonymous even thow he's not a member of this site.
You're killing me!
I went on a "bachelor's ride" Saturday as my last organized ride as a single person. We left San Jose in the morning and were on our way towards Jamestown. We were doing 95-100 MPH on Route 120 and the road had a bend to the right. The person on the bike in front of me (blue/black 04 SEEG) got distracted for a second and went off of the left side of the pavement onto the dirt/grass center divider. I got on the brakes hard and watched in horror as he fought the bike. Lucky for him, at this point in the road, the center divider is several hundred feet wide and relatively flat. The back end of the bike was sliding back and forth about 5-6 feet and he just stayed off of the brakes and kept steering into the skids. Again lucky for him, there wasn't any trees, rocks, ditches, holes, etc, in his path and somehow he managed to stay on the bike and bring it to a stop! As he came to a halt, unfortunately he dropped the bike.
Total damage to the bike was several scuff marks that buffed out and a broken right lower fairing where the highway hit it.
He was very shaken but alive with a bike that is still in one piece. I guess this proves that the SEEG is the ultimate road bike, dirt bike, 4 wheeler, etc.
We slowed down after that...
