## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: UNEVENTFUL LANDING ON RWY 24 @ E18. IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNOFF, FROM ACTIVE RWY, ANOTHER AIRCRAFT ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTION TO LAND ON "GRAVEL" AND DID INDEED LAND ON THE END OF RWY 24'S TAXIWAY ONLY SEPARATED BY A LOW WALL. AS N36463 TURNED OFF MAIN TAXIWAY TOWARDS ITS TIE-DOWN SPOT, A MOTOR CYCLE DROVE ONTO THE RAMP. BETWEEN WATCHING THE OTHER A/C LAND AND THE MOTORCYCLE, THE PILOT OF N36463 TAXIED INTO A LOW CURB WITH THE NOSEWHEEL CAUSING IT TO COLLAPSE, CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND. INCIDENT CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
