Oh sh*t…your indestructible boxes aren’t indestructible. Bummer, but really glad you’re not permanently damaged. Your white gear needed a good dusting.

Nice one Ted! Good thing them XT’s are hard as nails eh? I slid mine into a van in Romania at 30mph and apart from the forks twisting in the yokes (easily sorted) the only damage was a totally stuffed set of handlebars. It seems to be the only weak point on the bike, I’ve just ordered my third set after a bit of an adventure up north…
Good to hear you are OK.

Take it easy!

Reminds me of my face plant on the Valdes Peninsula. I was going only half your speed or less and did my head hurt. On another matter, I was given your name by Maria and Alistair whom I guess you met in Viedma. I had to abandon my bike in an underpass under Ruta 3 south of Comodoro Rivadavia. Maria could not find it, but suggested you may know someone heading south who could take another look to see if it is there. Enjoy! Marty

[...] Touring TedMagnum I know many of us have enjoyed Ted’s musings here and know that he’s currently in South America living his dream. I hope he doesn’t mind me posting it here, but you might want to read about his crash. He’s OK, but the blog makes for a good read. Touring Ted ? Blog Archive ? oooops I crashed ! [...]

I’m glad you’re OK and that it was “soft sand… Damn, Ted, try not to learn those kinds of lessons the hard way. No matter who you’re with, ride your own ride. I’ll tuck your experience away in the deep of my brain so that when the same situation presents hopefully I won’t have to gather up my stuff. Stay well!!

Ted, baby… Glad to hear you are in one piece and the bike is not too badly damaged. Its good you are in a group as I think the damge could have been much worse if you were riding on your own. Don’t be tempted to twist the throttle too far and remember that big lever on the right hand side of your bars, it slows you down!!!
Take care.
