Gixxer up a tree!
Finally got my self organised and decided to go for a gentle jaunt in the sunshine late afternoon. Not thrashing the horses but making nice smooth progress. Exited a bend hitting the gas for a swift up change before braking and knocking her down two for the next left hander. Looked ahead and hold on,something doesn't look right here! I could see a number of bikes parked at the edge of the road in the bend I was approaching...not a normal situation me thinks. Knocked it down to pedestrian pace and noted about 8 bikes in total and a car stopped. Not wishing to be macabre,I thought obviously someone has had an off and there are enough people there to help out so I progressed onward.
Well an hour and a couple of coffees later it's time to head home. As I approach the "accident scene" again, I notice that there is a Gixxer 3/4 of the way up a 10 ft. tree!  Could not see that when approaching from the other side!It looks like yer man...who was taken off by an ambulance unfortunately...has probably over gassed it in to the bend and gone straight off, up some loose scree at the foot of the mountain and this has seen him launch up in to the tree! Funny sight if you did not know someone had obviously been hurt!

Had a mate park his blade in a tree. Trouble is he also left his left arm up another. Bikes, bikers and trees don't make for good news
