NOT Surviving the streets... - lola_imp - 06-30-2017
Happy 4th of July and be safe out there fellas

Not my idea of fun... I never ride without at least a full helmet, boots, heavy jeans/armoured jeans, leather gloves and either a mesh armoured jacket or a heavy leather jacket designed for motorcycling. He was being chased by police correct?

Ouch. Wish I hadn't watched that.

A good reminder to ride smart - and safe. Should've parked that bike miles before (read the video comments by the original poster) and fixed the problem. Then "geared up".
I've survived a horrific wreck myself and have learned - don't be stupid. Ride smart, ride safe, gear up. Anything else is just plain stupid.

Apparently not. The kids in the car from which the video was taken were watching Peppa Pig!

That video popped up on FB yesterday... I can't watch it.

What a weird crash.
RE: NOT Surviving the streets... - Rocky_imp - 07-01-2017
I can't see it and am just as happy that I can't. I don't enjoy seeing crashes.
For the same reason I don't watch Mayday on TV since I also love to fly.

Looks like the high speed wobble got him. Must be something wrong with the tires/suspension or both.
RE: NOT Surviving the streets... - the Ferret - 07-01-2017
Yea that was a pretty slow high speed wobble and all of a sudden the bike swapped ends. He didn't appear to be going all that fast. Never seen anything like that.
