| Licensed  Joined: May 2011 From: Sammamish, WA I Ride: Ducati Multistrada 1200S | looks like he could have been braking harder? I mean no skid marks at all and you are heading straight for oncoming traffic? I suppose it could have ABS but wow. Maybe he was to busy peeing in his camo pants.... |

I have ridden the dragon and it can and will bite the unsuspecting. There is a tree with lots of bike and car parts nailed to it. Dumbass meets Corvette story at 11:00 |

   Joined: Mar 2006 From: Seattle I Ride: 1099cc L-Twin in a sporty arrangment | In terms of what happens that's been covered. I blame the illegal photographer though. Rider is clearly seen trying to alert authorities immediately prior. Only thing to add is that the fiber glass car fell apart. Crazy that the entire front fender and bumper literally disapear, just some shrapnel left over. |

Trust me, it corners great; it was designed to be more of a sport/muscle cruiser. This wasn't the fault of the bike by any stretch of the imagination. Last edited by RC65; 10-19-2012 at 12:29 PM.. | |

Guess that's what happens when you loose focus on what your doing. Just remember a good lookin gal on the side of the road can have the same effect |

| Streetfighter  | Going too fast for that corner on a cruiser style bike loaded down with crap and isn't physically able to achieve the lean angle of a sportier bike. but... Inattention is his biggest enemy Then he target fixates It's all over after that. He probably would have been fine had he been paying attention and had both hands on the handlebars. Could have happened to anyone though. He should have invested in better protective gear. I'm guessing broken pelvis/legs/wrists/etc. The car/bike aren't really that important compared to the probable damage to his body. |

 After close inspection, I don't believe "Illegal Gravel" was involved...AJ  | |
