Hmmm... I was quite surprised to see him go off the road...
Probably too fast for the corner/skill level but a counter steer in the right place would have seen him right.
Now forget the bike, how about that road!fun~!

Keep it rubber-side down...
Funniest thing I'v seen for a while. Life's a ditch, then you fall in one.
BTW. Do double yellows mean the same in US?

Wow that lasted a long time !Originally Posted by vtec
Nearly a whole hour without someone slagging off HD's !!

Hence them both going off the road. Only one didnt make it (ended up in the ditch).
Yes, no passing is allowed.Originally Posted by Lou Girardin
Sure are some naive comments re HD's/Cruisers and their riders...oh and "cagers",but hey that's the KB way innit? One's bad therefore all must be?
Can show you more than a few HD riders that'll out ride many sportsbike riders from this forum and elsewhere while riding their "tanks that can't handle".
BTW....no prob's setting that up...
The guy that crashed obviously was well beyond HIS skill level...I also believe that he could see around that "corner"...look at the angle. Pretty straight forward really,he was a twit!!![]()
probably saw the camera half way through the pass and thought - bugger - I forgot to polish my screaming eagle buckle and drove off the road in shame...
What he said. C'mon guys you can all see what happened, he gave it a twist, panicked, and lost it. Could happen to anyone and has happened to a few here.Originally Posted by TL Rider
Pretty funny to watch though! lol They will need a crane to get the bike back out of there!

Oh goody! - a scrap between the Harley and sportsbike riders.....us dual purpose riders will just stand back over here and watch,alway good entertainment.
I have fluid built up in my lungs and can hardly breath, I almost passed out laughing so hard at that video.
I know for a fact that I could manage that on any type of bike. I reckon that its got more to do with the skill of the rider, not the ride. IMO.

notice the HD behind the tree-hugging one, target fixated on the idiot in front, and narrowly missed following him down the bankOriginally Posted by Str8 Jacket
silly 'non-turning HDs'

When the video first started, I could see the corner that the HD screwed up on.. he obviously didn't account for the 'suck factor' that all HDs have (as opposed to 'lean factor' that all other bikes come equipped with as factory original)Originally Posted by crashe

lol, but in that situation it could be ANY bike. Namely (usually) mine. Target fixation can happen to anyone on any bike anytime... Gotta feel sorry for him though, he's never gonna live that down!Originally Posted by ZeroIndex

Since some of us can't access the video at work I'll reserve judgement until later.
But watching you ill-informed prejudiced twits have a go at each other is very entertaining![]()
