I got home from work last night and my cousin (also my roommate) told me to go check out his bike (Yamaha XS400S). Upon looking at his bike, I notice his highway bars are bent on the left side, mirror, blinker, headlight are cracked, bars are bent. I go back inside and ask what the hell happened. He was going up a local road and a 3" TREE FELL ON HIM!!! He is okay, his hip is bruised and he scratched his helmet a little.
When he was cruising up the hill at about 30mph the tree hit is head, then his arms and basically clotheslined him. Luckily our friend was driving in front of him and saw the whole thing in the rearview mirror. Oddly enough it wasn't windy at all, it was a bit rainy, but not enough to weigh down a 3" tree. Once he got back up and was surveying the damage it started a torrential downpour. So not only did he crash and bruise up his bike, he got soaking wet in the process. Here's a pic of the tree, his sunglasses are a marker so you can get an idea how big the tree was.
