Non boaty, but very funny!

I have to say, I know this is a non-boaty thing, but I just had to share it with you guys as it is the funniest bike related video I have ever seen! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

From the look of the opening frames, the rider knew that he had problems and was doing his best to kill some speed, as a biker myself, it made chills run up my spine.

Yes, maybe I should not have laughed, I also am a biker, it was the way he came off that was comical.

It looked like the TT or something, just as well that did not happen at 100mph.

Another thing is how it happens??? /forums/images/icons/frown.gif I mean that should almost be impossible really.

They do wheel changes in the TT, and I suspect that they rushed it and didnt do the bolts up properly, and they snapped. During my biking I have had a number of low-siders (a couple deliberately to solve a greater problem) but have managed (touch wood) so far to avoid a high sider. They look as if they hurt, and I dont recover from bumps quite as well as I used to.

Yes, a high side is just about the worst thing!

I do not have one at the moment, will do again one day, still have all my leathers and bits:

Yamaha DT50
Suzuki GP125 (horrible bike)
Yamaha SR250

Mid life crisis occured, then jumped on to:

Triumph Daytona T595 (Excellent)
Suzuki GSXR 600 (Not all that impressive)
Yamaha XJR1300 (Very smooth and comfortable)

My favorite was the Daytone - <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.mad-als.com/gallery1t.htm>http://www.mad-als.com/gallery1t.htm</A>

BMW K100RS - a good allrounder sports tourer, and the ABS is good for winter driving!
