Okay ... FINALLY got off my duff and did a Dino ride yesterday after numerous 'other' rides (sport biking mainly). It's not that I've not ridden the DN-01 these past few months, it's just their rides weren't what I classify as 'rides' (less than 100 miles round trip). As a side note: I still leave the Dino on a trickle charger when not in use and still use the ORIGINAL battery (+8 years old). Anyways, the ride started @ 8 AM, Florida temps have been murder so early starts are in order. Met up with 13 other riders at Dunkin' Donuts. Most of the riders I had ridden before with and a few new faces. Our Road Captain was a no show so one of the 'newer' riders took over as lead and myself as tail with a 'brand new' group ride participant behind me and 2 others behind her. Direct route to a Wendy's was only about 45 minutes but our scheduled route would take almost 2 1/2 hours. (We almost always take the LONG way). 3 quarters into the ride, the 'newbie' took a curve too wide and went off the road into the grass and sand ... I saw it ALL in my rearview mirror. I went back to assess the situation: the rider was pretty much just bruised and sore, her CBR250R not too well (mainly front end damage ... totalled). The people behind me had stopped and were assisting her. I then turned back around and sped off to catch the remaining ride group, far ahead now. Thankfully the road was fairly straight and I found myself exceeding the posted speed, doing +100 mph just to catch up. Found the remaining ride pulled off to the side of the road waiting for us, not knowing that we had an accident. The group turned around and we head back to the fallen rider. She was able to contact her brother who showed after about an hour with a truck and trailer for her and the bike. She went to the ER to be checked out and everything was okay. 2 of our riders were EMT certified, we even had a Fire Department Rescue vehicle with EMTs stop while we waited for her brother. We made Wendy's @ noon, even with all the excitement. The idea of the ride was for a luncheon costing less than $6, something new we were trying. We pretty much ALL came back as one group, peeling off as we went our separate ways and EVERYONE encountered heavy rain squalls en route. By the time I got home I was bone dry and only had to towel off the Dino for it's next adventure. This ride had it all: 70 degree temps with a nice breeze, killer temps shortly thereafter, an accident with damage and injury and a heavy downpour .... welcome to Florida!
