thanksgiving day wipeout

These were the guys that helped fix the tube (they even washed it). The man in the middle was our driver, he was very kind to us and stayed with us until the bike was fixed.
Minutes after our wipe-out a nice man stopped to help us. The bike barely fit in his work truck. We had to leave the back doors open resulting in an extremely dusty 10 mile ride. The roads were so bad that the short ride took nearly 1 hour.



After the ride we were covered in dust! HOT!



Marie caught me at a telling moment. The wipe-out was in first gear around 10 mph on a dirt road. The rear tire wore a hole in the tube over the past 12000miles, additionally the previous owner drove the moto RT to Alaska with the same tube.
