I had a similar ejection last fall. When I hit the ground the weight of my boot hyper extended my knee. It hasnt been the same since...

That is a sick looking bike. Nice find. I wish I was closer to the dunes. What brand/model are those tires? I may have to get some and drive 3.5 hours to Silver lake

His name is Bruce. He treated me well and service was A1.

Thanks guys!
I love the dunes...

So my nephew was riding the K5 last night. Phoned me. He was riding our trails with my kids and stalled it in 2nd gear. Went to restart it... he can kick it over by hand. :( Pushed it about 2 miles home. I'm not there and can't check it out yet.

Never take a stock jetted K5 too far without a spare new sparkplug ! Especially low speed play riding in the woods.... sounds like your nephew simply fouled a plug.
