A most prized possession of a photo! One rivaled only by that of Iraqi WMDs!

I'm sure it will be stripped and banned from KTM talk.

That's really unusual - that never, ever happens...

They usually break at the steering head

Don't forget Nate Kanney's bike in RI

OMG! Hope this never happen's to me! I can visualize the front end separating from a bad landing, but how does a swingarm break?

Hit a sharp edge bump while rearshock is bottoming?
