And the winner is Gravel. OMG! I just met Simon and he took us a a great half day ride to some Indian ruins and all was perfect till the last minute. We just came off a long straight road doing wide open flying through the desert, I was flat out with the daughter on the back at 114mph on the 103 Road King. Simon was in the lead but I went in front then back to him. He slowed down to about 13mph signaling a right turn onto the interstate and hit some deep gravel on the road. He went down in an instant with the front end sliding and knifing in under him. It was awful! We gathered around and called the 911 and waited for about 25 minutes for the ambulance to get there.
I called later and he was in good spirits but had three cracked ribs, a pneumothorax and several scrapes. I was very happy to meet him but the end was bad. Get well my new friend and hope to ride with you another day.
If any of you all are thinking about going out to ride his area give him a shout and he can show you the good stuff.
Watch out for that desert gravel it is not nice.
