Before the news leaks, I think I should start with the "helmet cam video" I made minutes after the incident.
Yes. I took my Diablo 500 to Val-des-bois, Quebec. I met with Roy and Jeano and Barrie. We had a blast. I have several video's that i will post later this week. But one stood above the others. THE INCIDENT
I thaught I would show my re-arranged front end. (I really thaught my front end tin problems were over) Bruce. Aparently I didn't know how to drive in deep snow either. But. I spent the rest of the weekend trip learning.
First the pictures, followed by the Video. Keep in mind. The snow was bottomless. This supposedly trail was not traveled on this year from the looks of it. I found a stump buried in the snow. First I fell off the trail and hit a tree on the right side, then no more than 100 meters, I hit the stump. I was P-O'd.
And this is the link to my video. I was about to die. Took me a long time to turn around and free up my machine.

Jessie, A good time for sure. You look and sound so beat, just like I was a few hundred feet away. The important thing is we made it out in time for diner and survived.
Great weekend cut short by a blown primary clutch on my 503. More to come on that.

Great weekend indeed Jeannot. I am glad to have come. I'm looking forward to my next visit. (may be a little less loose snow) But even with that, we had a splendid time. Thanks for the food as well.
Today I got at my front end damage. It is not serious. I was able to re-use everything. I pressed the bumper straight, and bent out the tins. (Thank god for simple mods) Bit of fresh paint and voila!
I also read that you got yourself a Primary clutch for your 503. That's fantastic.
I really enjoy the symplicity of these Diablo machines. I got to learn a lot about my machine and its capabilities along with my ability to steer it. (real couse on how to ride in deep snow) Thanks Roy and Barrie.
Here's a few pics of my bumper repair.
Hope to ride again with you guys soon.
