When riding a CRF1000 Africa Twin goes wrong

[onslowe]

Sleepy, I guess he was undertaking and trying to jump the queue and just indicating left in the hope that a car driver would give him an easy entry point, the further down the queue the better. Failed on all levels and probably got laughed at by most of the drivers he had undertaken. I hope he was OK but it looks as though it was a bit of a bad day for him in the bike / insurance claim department.

I assumed he was going to turn left and was just avoiding the queue up to a point where he decided to tuck in next to a car then drop back behind it as it moved forward. It was all going pretty well for him until he caught his trousers on the footrest and went over then appeared to over react and throw the bike at a car in the right hand lane.

The most surprising part of it is that he didn't wipe the memory card on his camera rather than post his mistake up for half the World to laugh at.

Yip, this is why i hang one leg lose all the time at slow speeds.

Is it just me or was the bike revving, but his right hand wasn't doing anything??? Is this a DCT?!!! Handguard looks as much use as a cheese puff...

Thats one expensive slip

I think the total bill for the damage would have been greater if it'd been me and my GS hitting those two cars.
Of course, 100% of the bill would have been damage to the two cars.

Not over-trousers but over-booties.

I bet he was wearing a 'Polite Notice' bib too and that's karma giving him what he deserves.
