Couple of us do a Glendale Valley dual sport loop yesterday. Awesome ride, perfect cool conditions. Minimal dust. A few good scratches between the boys. We pushing it but no one doing anything stupid, back off around blind corners, no near misses etc. it’s an experienced bunch with good skills.
We finish our 180 km loop back on the tar for the run home. We never pin it on tar, eats our knobblies so we typically ride at around 90 km/h on the black stuff. At a point I peal off as I’m going north, the other 5 guys south. Get home, chilling and then I see the missed calls.
About a minute after we split up a superbike rider coming the other way, can’t make a corner and he runs wide and has a head on with my buddy who is in front of the group.
Bike carnage as you can see. My mate got off lightly, broken hand and serious bruising. Could have been fatal thank goodness it was not. Superbike rider a lot worse but not life threatening as far as I know.
