Hmmm, the bike still seems reasonably upright because of those whopping great crash bars, it just that the guy has literally "fallen off"

I'm wondering if the crash bar touching down actually caused the crash.

Yep, you can see it (almost?) touching down from the second picture onwards, but the sparks seem to be coming from the foot boards...

Think those are Killboy photos from Deal's Gap... There's anopther excellent set with a Fat Boy riding right into one of those hideous tourer Harleys.

If I was touring the US, I'd definately conisder a Harley as a rental... There's just something right about them. I'd never buy one but for riding across Arizona...
