Rider down on Redwood Rd, fire engines, ambulance, CHP attending. Just pulled this out of GoPro footage after riding past about an hour ago. Didn't stop as there were more than enough people on the scene and spectating. Hope he/she is okay.

I didn't see anything in the CHP incident report.

But found out we had a MC fatality in Oakland today.
 
That is a weird place to bin it. Must be a story here. Hopefully the rider is OK.
 
Any updates? Heal up rider.
 
Hmm strange place to crash, anyone find out what happened?
 
My best guess is that a deer ran out infront and he went into the dirt. Probably grabbed front brake and lost the front. If it wasn't in the report then it wasn't a bad crash and didn't cause any real damage.
 
Is that an SV650 leaning sadly against the rail? :(
Here's hoping for a positive outcome.

Hopefully. At least five fire trucks, two or three police vehicles and an ambulance responded, and there was a fair crowd around what I assumed was the rider. But I guess the emergency vehicles respond before the severity is known — hoping it was nothing bad.
 
2 weeks ago some guy wrecked a Hypermotard 821 sp at the squid trap. Went straight into the mountain.

Squid trap.. where is that? Assuming its the left hander as your heading back down RW from the gun range parking lot? Bale on that turn, and yeah a wall of dirt

If you head towards rwr from castro valley you pass the gun range. It's the right turn and fast transition to a sweeping left where it goes really tight at the end of the turn. It's before the pine hurst intersection. Lol hard to explain. Tried my best.

Are you talking about the two successive downhill turns that have the arrow signs marking that they're corners?
