Just wanted to give those of you who ride Glenwood Canyon on I-70 a heads up. I was on a group ride this weekend and one of our riders went down @ about 65-70 mph. The canyon road has huge holes pretty much on the dotted line that will eat a front tire. His tire was kinda sucked in and turned sideways. He is ok, a few broken ribs, a few scrapes, and a minor concussion. He was wearing FULL gear. His full face visor was sheered off! May this be a reminder that we are all susceptible to road hazards! Thanks guys for looking at this and stay safe out there! Pass this along when possible.

:shocked: That sucks... glad he is ok tho.

Can I ask what kind of helmet was he wearing ?

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't really know him that well. He is a big boy though. Probably 240 and 6'0"+. I watched him ride his FZ1 all day. Great rider too! Just one of those things that happen I suppose. I'll see if I can find out what type of helmet.
