Had some fun at St. Joe here in Missouri today. Very eventfull!
A bit after we got there, two guys were airlifted out. It was a quad dirtbike collision, high speeds were involved and they crossed paths. Thats the bad part about the flats in St. Joe, it gets so busy, theres to many people not paying attention. No deaths thankfully, just a compound fracture in the arm, and a collasped lung. Thats still bad, but nobody died.
Then a little while after that, we came back to the trailer to the park rangers, and an ambulance. Turns out the guy next to us had a spill going up a hill on his dirtbike, ended up rolling backwards and he grabed the wrong part to balance himself............. ended up losing his middle finger to the rear sproket and chain! His finger stayed in the glove when he pulled his hand out :eek:
On a lighter side, had a lot of fun. Weather was great!
I just picked this 350x up last week from RichinMO. Heres a pic with the new ITP's I just put on.

Heres a couple more random pics.
