Looking at the first pic, I reckon that full face lid was a good investment.

Puncture possibly causing a tank slapper, who knows - either way very lucky

Or maybe a tank slapper from being overloaded. There are 2 chunky panniers and a topbox by the look of it. Anyway it's just speculation, glad the guy is OK. And his phone is still working.

Definitely going to need new underwear though.

Is that a KTM?
Maybe engine, gearbox or something seized?
