I biffed the YZ a little today.

The dry dusty conditions are rough. We have not had measurable rain in about 5 months, which is usual. This is the worst time of year for local riding. :?

I was heading up a stupid steep rocky rutted dusty sandy trail and bounced off one rock into another into another and was at a complete stop and tipped over to the left. On a rock about the size of a 50 cc scooter.

It was a perfect hit on my left radiator. It was also perfect to smack my right shin on the back of the footpeg. Ouch :evil: . The radiator bent in about 1/2 inch. No leaks and I rode home.

At home I was carefully able to bend it back to it's original position. A test drive revealed no leaks. A fresh coat of shiny black Plasticoat erased the evidence. :wink:

I may look into radiator guards, and shin guards. :roll:
