Was just driving down Pollock Rd in Latham and saw two Colonie PD cars, an ambulance, and a guy on a stretcher(the rider). Lots of liquids in the road. The bike was picked up and on the side of the road already. Bike was a black Monster 636 from the looks of it. Black helmet. Hope everyone is alright. ---

sucks. just last weekend I stopped to help an older guy that hit a guardrail, then high sided his harley dresser on pavement. There was Volunteer fireman on scene already, he had me stabilize the dudes head until the ambulance arrived 10 mins later (middle of nowhere in knox) looked like a broken clavicle. dude got lucky, went down at probably 60mph in shorts and a tshirt ---

I wouldn’t be surprised, not many(that I’ve seen anyways) out there. The side I could see was leaned away from the sun and looked black and had a Monster “M” towards the front of the fairing. No other stickers or markings/brand decals or anything. ---
