Guess where this is heading?
So approaching towards the camera from here:
 Corner, spot the problem:  Exit: Spot the troublesome bit...  D'Oh.  A free oil filter for anyone to correctly guess the damage to the bike

Re: Guess where this is heading?
If one had ben travelling at a speed appropriate for the road, the rider could have spotted pothole and readjusted to exit without a problem.
Looks fairly clear from the pictures to spot any oncoming traffic, so as the road veeers to the left, the rider should have been on the right of the pothole, missing it completely Or am I missing something?

Re: Guess where this is heading?
is there not gravel in the road?
I suspect if your bike is still held together with mainly dirt you haven't been able to damage any of it but have only scuffed a bit of crap off it. |
