Just got back form a 450 mile ride in CO this weekend. Had one off, a high speed affair that involved watching the GPS instead of the trail, a flat sided 2 ft boulder and an Uptite skid plate. Net net, punched a hole in stator cover in the middle of BFE. Without the Uptite, the hole would have been unrepairable. You can sort of see in the last pic the plate took the brunt of the impact. Thanks George for saving my bacon!!
ya I was pretty lucky. have no idea how but ended up unscathed down path from the bike in the brush and counting my blessings! In the first photo, the direction of travel was lower right to upper left, not back to front. It could have been a lot worse for me and the bike.
