what Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I watched this a number of times last night trying to figure out wtf went wrong. No idea beyond target fixation on the house/sign post and humpty-dumptying off the ledge. Maybe hitting the small bump on the corner broke his concentration and that was that?

motocat12 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 His voice sounds like there's rough pavement at the inside corner edge. looks ok from the video though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like he was on the throttle the whole time. I saw some speculation that there is one of those throttle locks on the bike. I can't tell though.

JustinNck1 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sounded like he hit some gravel then whiskey throttled and put his feet down, which then turned into an all out panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Clearly, it's because he's riding on the wrong side of the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 21 minutes ago, Isaac's Papa said: His side stand wasn't retracted. Not sure what the rest of the stupidity was about. Unless intentionally disabled, that bike is way to new to not have the safety in place. That motor will ventilate the crankcase over the next thousand miles! Way to long and way to many RPM while on its side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I had to watch this like five times to try and figure out what the hell went wrong. He clearly target fixated after he hit that bump and I agree it sounded like the throttle lock stuck and he panicked.

zx3vfr Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Agreed. Side stand. My cb didn't have a switch. I dumped it a few times doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motocat12 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 "Where' the hell's the road at?" I bet he asked himself that same question again 20 seconds later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 American guy living in New Zealand? Agree with above. Sounds like he scraped his side stand turning left and *something* caused his throttle to lock on - whether than be bad grip on the throttle handle making his pull it on at a neutral wrist position, or a throttle lock.
