He's OK now...and no, it wasn't a DH crash, it was a collision with a motorbike while getting ready for Maribor WC.
Ever did this to your Demo?

Yeah I did that last week actually. JRA.
because it is! as far as i know, the moto rider was speeding in a residential area and plowed through drch, who was checking out something he repaired/installed/improved on his bike.
numerik for sure knows more...

Fault was probably on both sides. For sure biker was speeding, but Drch was maybe a bit careless in crossing road.
crossing the road...
he must been flying around like a rag doll, when i see the bike.
Same guy after crash in Champery and surgery last November-it's shoulder
Nice collection of titanium
I think I mis-understood the story. Was he trying to cross a road?
I am sure it was one of those freak un-avoidable accidents that randomly happen, could have ended up way worse from the looks of it. Both riders had events transpire against them to cause this accident.

I do to, and unfortunatly no matter how it went, if it was a residentual area, court will decide it was the bikers fault, Specially if they were speeding. Remember when on a Moto, the courts are just suprised yuou lived more than three weeks to begin with.
Either way, that blows. That bike got hit friggin hard, damn near removed the rear of it, bent the stantion, and I am sure more damage that cannot be seen in the photo. Just glad to hear everyone is alive and will heal up.
We need the report as to what actually happened so we'll know the whole story. And based on that being a very familiar picture, I'm saying blown ACL and they used the center portion of his patellar tendon as the replacement. And a whopping 3 more staples than what I had. But with the swelling, I'm guessing the ACL wasn't the only thing they had to work on.
ha-ha, well played. doesn't sound like anyone here really knows what actually happened so no sense in pointing fingers.
regardless, i hope both riders heal up quickly and ride again soon.........but a little more carefully.
The 2010 Demo's break! EVERYONE PANIC!
Heal up quick man. That looks brutal.

Why the hell does he have to sue the guy on the bike?
for a new bike? not trying to sound like an ass, im kind of wondering the same thing as you.
too bad it wasnt in ammurica, otherwise he would have sued the biker for everything hes got already!

Get homeowners or renters insurance and get a new bike.
All of my gear is covered under renters insurance just in case.
You don't have to try and sue every single time something happens. Fu**ing America
Neither of those dudes are in America, I think. If the motorcyclist was at fault, that's one thing. If the knee guy stopped in the middle of the road, that's another.
Hope that thing heals up, looks potentially career ending.

Well, you have a point except. Sue happy people are one thing but Suing for medical bills is another AND claiming your bike on your home owners insurance also is a ding. I got crushed by a drunk driver hit and run and guess what... my insurance didn't cover everything and medical bills are RETARDED EXPENSIVE like 10's of thousands (mine were at least). I definitely sued the guy but only for my bills to pay. I should have went further because now you loose your job/ride (usually).It's called an accident for a reason.
