In the picture gallery in guy in the middle is the one that had the wrecks. The first couple of pictures was his Honda Four Trax off the road and 20ft down the hill, that was about 45mph off a corner into the trees. We took that bike back to his cabin, he then brought out his three-wheeler, he then ran that off the road on a curve, over the embankment 15ft down into the creek. We had to drag it down stream 50ft, then up a steep hill, back to the road.
He survived both accidents with just scratches and brusies.
