Unless someone knows the actual details of the crash, I would guess this was the result of loosing control in wet road, going sideways off the road into the ditch and flipping in the dirt. That's what it looks like to me. If it were a tab or a steering issue, either the back wheel would be completely shoved into the wheel well and back, or the front wheel would be dislocated and facing outward. The frame and driveline seem fine. This looks like a driver error. - VB >From: Qumefox <qumefox@xxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [DML] Roll over picture [was Question.....] >Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 02:23:29 -0500 > >stainlessilusion wrote: > > >These pictures in the roll over section are REALLY the aftermath of a > >broken TAB??
