The Sinner goes down!

A week ago Sunday on a beautiful afternoon, a root bump in the road took its toll on cycle and rider. Troop's baby suffered moderate damage, and his body is intact. Left side pipe, handlebars, and clutch lever destroyed. Motor mount plates are bent. Troop escaped after a high side dismount with a sprained ankle.

Some minor repairs are in order, and are underway. That old helmet did its job, thanks to Billy and Rachel at Hellmutts in Tacoma.
Keep the faith!

Let's all get behind one leader we will always follow (perhaps because he's just faster!) King of the Desert (2 time winner of the Mexican 1000), 3 time winner of the International Six Days Trial, star of "On Any Sunday", philanthropist, and all around good guy and great rider Malcolm Smith.
