Study the pix carefully - note the clutch pulled in just before he does the "death surf on the inside".

Thought it was just HondaV (Toddy) Motu and I that trolled through AVrider!

Impressive photos, can almost hear the guys arse pucker, how the hell did he get it so wrong?? :slap:

But cool Vulcan death-grip wave though... :laugh:

Poor guy nothing!
He had heaps of lean left, he pulled in the clutch (like that's going to help it lean!) and the idiot was dressed for impressing his mates at the gay bar, not for asphalt surfing!

[Hitcher]

That phenomenum on a cruiser is called "tripoding". Very freaky it is too...

I suspect Mr Joe Cool Harley rider will wear more than his underwear in future when he goes riding -- once the skin grafts take.

[James Deuce]

He wouldn't have needed grafts if he'd just hung on. No way that thing was going to fall over. Those crash bars are phenomenal.

[jrandom]

in that first photo, he was doing it! he was doing the wrong-way-Harley-torso-lean!

why oh why do they do that? never seen anyone on any other brand of crusier do it. are they trying to move their bodyweight toward the outside of the corner so that they can lean the bike further for the same corner speed? is there some special drug dispensed from a hidden syringe in HD seats that only comes out when you go around a corner slow but with the bike leaned far over?

silly harley riders. my mind is boggled.

Yeah but the friction coefficiency of the zorst is a little less than a tyre V. :doh:

[Ixion]

Why did he fall off? The bike was still stable. He couldn't lean anymore, which might have meant running off the road, but there was nothing that should have tipped him off?

Older bikes used to do a similar thing on the silencers.

My thoughts too, unless there was an oncoming vehicle he could have run wide and straightened up a bit - the thing is, WHY did he leap off????

Looks like the clutch is out...

[Rashika]

from a photographers point of view...damn hot pics! Cool sparks flying, great posing...

from any bikers point of view...moron :headbang: ...idiot :wacko:
...deserves what he got with the lack of any thing remotely resembling protective gear.... :crazy:
and probably only happen in the states. :yawn:

You better watch out for them daft nutters over ther Scumdog :whistle:
want ya back safe and sound for the MM! :niceone:

[Sniper]

Ouch, pity the guy didn't have a sprotbike, he would have made that corner then.

[Rashika]

oi Sniper whatcha done to your avatar now...does he ever stop?? poor sod :thud:

Stupidity cometh before a fall.

[TonyB]

True, on something like that it would have happened sssssssssoooooooo ssssssssssssssllllllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwww wwwwwwlllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy that he could have probably climbed up onto the left had side of the bike and surfed on it.

Ahh well, Mr I-am-such-a-fucking-cool-bad-ass-1%er wouldn't have felt quite so cool after that.... tho he probably DID have a bad ass....and shoulder .... not to mention his face with that pudding basin helmet.... forearms- don't forget the forearms..... and fingers! Bet those were pretty bad too. Cock- I have no sympathy for anyone that rides without so much as a jacket- easpecially on a road like The Dragon

[Smorg]

least he had the right protective gear on :clap: :clap:

In? Out? Shake it all about?
I dunno.
The guys I correspond with in Murka said he pulled the clutch in. I didn't actually study the photos at all.

Some time back, there was a similar series of photos (cousin of this dumbarse?) where the guy also thought he coudln't make the corner and cut it, and ran into another bike. Totalled the other bike (some Jap sprotsbike) and barely marked the Milwaukee Iron.

While we're on the DumbArseBashingTheme - I went for a coffee a while ago, to try to shorten the lifetimes of the bugs fornicating and otherwise partying it up large in my carcase, and there was a nice Sportster (that's 'Skirtster', for HD afficionados) parked outside. Mr Skirtster starts it up. Uh-oh.
Sounds like LoudPipes/SmallDick. Clutch slip / rev rev/ clutch slip / REV REV!!
Look at me!! LOOK AT ME!! REV!!!! REV!!!! REV REV REV REV!!!!!


Make that - VERY LOUD PIPES very very small dick.

Yup, I'll be shying clear of any BatteredSemiNakedH-DRiders with a BatteredAndGougedLargeBargeFullDresser that I see on the road - except if I think he's about to hit the dirt again, an opportunity like that would be worth hanging around for!! (dusts off best Instomatic camera and prepares for "Best Pic" award)

[TonyB]

Dunno about the clutch but I reckon he does lock the front wheel up
Pic 1: you can see a spoke or two but it's coming towards you so thats understandable
Pic 2: spokes and even tread are clearly visible
Pic 3: spokes and tread no longer visible

But the stupid thing is- the bike STILL isn't leaning any further. I agree with those above- it probably never actually went down. Mr I-am-such-a-fucking-cool-bad-ass-1%er looks to have paniced, done EVERYTHING wrong, and then abandoned ship

I am with Tony here. The front wheel is locked up and I reckon he just fell off because he wasn't holding on properley.

[bugjuice]

that's gonna sting in the morning..
why did he bail out? so could have saved that.. well, looks like it anyway
if he had ridden it out, he could have got away with it. I reckon the bike probably just slid to the edge of the road, and parked itself up like that.

And where's the 'after' shots too? dag namit

[SixPackBack]

Darwinism at work :headbang:

Note to self: stop giving Rashika the bird when racing bucket- will be ridiculed the world over if results in crash

*men inside head:
"New fact! File it please"
"But there's no where to fit it!"
"Just throw out something he doesn't need"
"OK...hmmm... countersteering....EVERYONE knows that".....

Nah.

He'd never experience such a HUGE amount of lean before, thought the bike was falling over, went "Mommeeeeeee!!!" and abandoned ship.

Whoop! Whoooop! Maximum lean angle exceeded!
The ship is about to founder!
Abandon ship! Abandon ship!
This is not a drill! Repeat - this is NOT a drill!

I'm with Hitcher - my first thought was 'skin graft'.
Everyone falls off, but That Dragon - Deals Gap road appears to be as good as some NZ roads. Why would you ride it in a singlet and jeans? Silly man.

erm ..... no.... no of course it wasn't... I think..... hmmmmm
T'was a good pic tho!


I'm with Hitcher - my first thought was 'skin graft'. Maybe he thinks that chicks dig scars? I'm sure he'll have the definitive answer on that by now. They seem to like little strategicly placed scars, not huge scary ones.

Luckily, he's a dentist/stockbroker/IT miilionaire/venture capitalist and can afford the $US1000/square inch that skin grafts are reputed to cost. :headbang:

dumb question:
i cants see shit.

can someone post them here?

[InDeSkyz]

I can't see pics either :(

[Sniper]

You should wait for them to load.

wait? WAIT?! I HAVE THE FASTEST INTERNETS IN THE LAND I DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD!

i don't think the pics are there anymore, does anyone have them?

[WRT]

Pics seem to still be there, however, here you go . . .

[erik]

I guess it's kinda wrong to laugh, but that third pick where you can only see the guy's leg is pretty funny. :laugh:

I agree it looks like the front wheel is locked in the second pic. the back wheel is clearly blurred. Must've been a good photographer to get the bike so clearly in focus with everything else blurred.

[Hitcher]

Poof goes poof.

Not really, it only does 105kms.. I gave it shit up the hill though to compensate.

Hahahaha! can't get over this one (http://photos1.blogger.com/img/55/3348/1024/05440.jpg) !

Is that a pushbike helmet? Apparently she was screaming the whole way through.

Why don't americans wear decent gear?

[scumdog]

Just had another look at the pics, that second pic looks like he locked up the front wheel, that combined with the 'leverage' of the bike leaning onto the zorst and front crash-bar was probably what cause the 'big slide from Hell'.
