got t-boned by a guy we were riding with. ruined my pipe and left radiator. missed a turn on a trail, turned around and looked, had quite a bit of room, locked up the rear tire, went for a hard U turn, and the guy back there must have had her WFO trying to close the gap, cause as soon as my bike was sideways i seen him, BOOM and i go flying. the bad thing is, if i would have had about one more second, i would have had her straight again, and we wouldnt have hit, i was nearly straight before he hit.
But, if he would have dove to the right as soon as he seen me start to turn, it also would have been avoided.
The guy wasnt a very good rider, i was waiting about 3-4 minutes every 5-10 minutes of riding for him and others to catch up......
yes, i prolly shoulda took a second look, but he shouldnt have been following me so close. the guy in front saw it cause he had already turned around, so it should have been obvious what i was about to do.....

Question: will a 01 CR125 rad fit my 2000 CR250? i cant dig up anything definitive on google, but it seems like the 125/250 radiators are the same.

looking for a Pro-circuit platinum pipe. prolly try to half-ass fix mine, but it needs replaced when i can afford one.

Dont know about the parts, hopefully you didn't get to banged up.
Bikes are cheaper to fix than bones.

im okay, bruised bad though. if he would have hit my leg, a few more inches back, i would have a broken leg for sure.
