I’m writing to tell you about the story that is connected to this picture. I think this could be possibly the most positive response to “Is there such thing as the Grim Reaper?”
My friend bought this bike from another guy, who rode it for a while but got into a severe accident with it and could not ride it anymore. Well, I’ve come to find out, that prior guy who owned it also received major injuries from an accident on the bike and is unable to ride, as well as the guy before that !
So, a total of 3 different owners have had this bike and have sustained very serious injuries and now its on its 4th owner. But the story deepens, as the place that this photo was taken at is a bike trail park in Tennessee and two people had died at this bike trail in the last year or two.

You see....the problem is that the bike is begging to be converted. Drop a 500 motor in it and she'll be happy !!

Maybe the problem is the ergonomics are out of wack. That seat looks weird, maybe it had something to do with the riders not being able to handle it. Put a stock seat back on it, and it probly will handle normal and won't be crashed.

And the fact that the side panels have been cut away so you can do Hart Attacks and other FMX tricks wasn't a factor.. right?

That is a great point, most likely the injured owners were unexperienced riders that huck themselves off big jumps before having say 10 solid years of riding under their belts, I see it all the time. " Dude, I have been riding since early '04, I'm a God on wheels watch me jump this 100 foot gap."

Yeah, the seat is cut down for FMX too, besides the sidepanels/airbox. More power to 'em, I enjoy the hell outta watching freestyle but don't have the balls required to even hit a ramp, let alone let go of the bike while 30 feet in the air.
