Bent Suzuki
« on: January 10, 2014, 12:14:50 pm »
There's got to be a good story behind these shots I downloaded off Marks Swapmeet this morning. The frame appears to be broken where the front downtube joins into the bottom cradle but from the rear shot in the trailer it looks to be pretty bent as well. Methinks he might be looking for a new frame.

Must of been one hell of a jump.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.
