Jersey is the most southerly island of the British Isles, measures about 10 miles x 5 miles and is generally full of rich people. Here's what happened when someone took the island's only 1098 out for a spin:
No word on the rider but with a 40 mph blanket speed limit methinks they couldn't have been going that fast... |

Was it deliberately buried? A little minor body work and paint and it will look as good as new. Ducatis crash very well. jimidan (Message edited by jimidan on February 23, 2007) |

Looks like road kill. Even at 40mph, a sudden stop to 0mph causes quite a bit of damage. I'd be willing to bet the rider wasn't obeying the posted 40mph limit, I know I probably wouldn't. Rocket, was this one of your friends? |

Ducatis crash very well Well that one crashed real good. I don't get the dirt, was it moved? There's little I can pick out from the pics, but I think that bike is pretty much hosed. I hope the rider faired better. |

Looks like it either went into a ditch, of hill made of sand. There's not a lot that you can hit that'll slow you faster than a heap of sand. They probably dragged it out of the hole it dug itself into the road, so they could get it on the wrecker. I agree, that bike is toast. It crashed, it crashed real good. |

They may have thrown the dirt on it to stop the fire... Doesn't look like any real fire fighting equipment around... |

Could have used the sand to soak up spilled fuel. I hope the rider wasn't hurt. |

It looks like it picked up a ton of dirt going through the grass topless and top-forward. I think it flipped the other way when it hit pavement and dumped its load. |

Lol...my wife would get a kick out of that. She hates hairy men. Unfortunately for her I've been sprouting more body hair every year.
