Title: the antomy of a crash
Post by mick on 11/23/10 at 14:54:52

the upcoming pictures are of my uncle Frank ,not my real uncle but my dads boss who I was told to call uncle, he came here to Oregon to visit just before he died at 93.
the 1st pic shows Frank coming out of the corner way to wide, the actual crash were he slid into the embankment was just a picture of flying dust,the next he running back to his bike ( an international Norton) ,the next few pics speak for themselves, he did finish. not last .
