Subject: RE: BS: Prayers and Thoughts for Raptor
A brick wall? That can happen easily if something else happens that causes a sudden swerve and loss of balance. I bought my first bike from a guy who hit a brick wall after swerving to avoid a dog in a parking lot... lost his balance at relatively low speed and his right wrist was at "that angle" and trying to correct it meant extreme acceleration... at the WRONG time. Buddy broke his neck.

I had some work to fix it but I got the bike cheap. It was a Rice Rocket... Kawi KH 500 2 stroke... "Go fast, straight line". Not much good on short corners.

Good to hear Raptor is doing better.
