This gentleman experienced a crash. The rider pushed the windshield foreward, but didn't it snap it off -- he might departed the bike off to the side. The front fender has an imprint of the crash bar indicating that the front wheel was pointed slightly to the right upon impact. Most likely the bike laid down on it's left side, but we cannot see that side. The frame and tripletree look okay, but would have to be checked to be sure. I am very curious as to what impact speed was.
