Today bad day for someone


Today someone just south of cero solo on 300KTM. went in ocean off cliff. Well known place by me and many others as very narrow when we pass that place. We shut off bike walk in by 5 foot bad place with spotter. It is about 12 foot drop in ocean the pictures posted by rescue people show the guy holding on to bike in ocean. A copper was called to assist hoping he was not bad hurt as was holding on bike. They got hime and bike out anyone have more info.

Wow, heck of a way to end your ride. If it was that tight I think I would walk my bike too. Dam KTM's aren't cheap, not sure Bajabound would cover that one, LOL...

That's a bad landing. Is that the area they call Daves diving board?

Wow!

The Facebook video of the rescue is incredible. Swimming the stretcher to the victim from offshore.

And the newspaper article said that the victim had a broken arm and two broken legs, all while clinging to a rock in the ocean.

No sign of the bike.

That's the place Ed 35 years ago we would ride the bikes. Now walk bike with spotter on front wheel. Not worth one mistake. The picture I was shown he was holding bike.
