[QUOTE="litnman, post: 55688, member: 1189"] A local guy got off hard last week. Even with the best leathers he could buy, here's how he described his run: "I am back from the hospital at Salt Lake. Yesterday I was the first run of the day and I went down in the middle of the timing lights. I was doing between 190 and 210 and the engine seized because of a thrown rod. The rear wheel locked and the bike fishtailed like crazy. It all happened in less than a second. There was no reaction time to do anything. I slid and tumbled for 200 yards according to the witnesses. My protective gear did its job and I still have a head and brain, The bad parts are that I have a broken shoulder, broken finger, burns everywhere and a long laceration of my right arm and hand. Everything is sore." [/QUOTE]
