So i've been in Lydenburg for a week for some training and was due to leave for pretoria this afternoon.

On my way out of town, travelling sedately at 60kph, approaching a traffic light that was green a truck that was in th right hand lane turned across the traffic as i was about to cross the intersection, the result of all of this is I hit the side of truck, fell off and rolled away from the wheel of the trailer to come. My XT on the other hand got run over by all three wheels of the tanker. The frame coiled up as it bent etc etc in short: RIP XT600E, JDB436GP, I will miss you!

I am once again extremely lucky and thankfull that i had the presence of mind to get myself out of the way of the tanker. They took an hour to get the bike out from underneath the truck, ruining it further.

I will post some pics as soon as I can.


Please be safe out there guys!
