I know most of those on this forum understands the importance of right sizing engine sizes for the rider. I don't have all the particulars if a smaller cc sled would have avoided this but you know what I mean....

Sad story is Here

My 570cc has made me get the "Oh $H&%" feeling once or twice. Man, I hate to hear about that.

On another note, last night around 10pm (Saturday Jan 24th) I was coming back from Tamworth heading south on Rte 16, and there were emergency lights everywhere, and trafiic slowed to a halt. As I approached the accident scene, the vehicles had been towed away, but there was a HUUUGE mess of gas on the road. I then realized what I was smelling was 2-stroke oil and gasoline. I know that smell anywhere as it sets off a drooling response in me. But seriously has anyone heard of this accident and whether they are ok?

Hopefully that smell was from something on a trailer!

Yeah I hope so too, or the back of a truck or something.
