:surprise:I thought the cops knew how to ride:stretche:

Well a stunter probably could have saved that!

See that when the bike's trailing mass gets above the vertical plane of the steering head, he allows the bike to 'knife' to the side. If he was able to hold it straight to keep it from doing that, he wouldn't have had the front wheel fold to one side. It would have been a 'reverse wheelie.'

But the telling part is that he probably didn't scoot his weight back and gas-it over the speed bump, to unload the front wheel, and to keep the rear-end from 'mule-kicking' his ass into the air. A combination of things: a 800-900 lb. bike, 55 rwhp, poor rider input approaching a sizeable bump, little effective rear jounce damping, all conspired to put him ass-over-elbows.

Don't suppose that pistol was much good after sliding across the street and whacking the curb....ey? :ummm:

Wow talk about having a bad day. Glad he was ok !!!

 

[Karmakatt]

So that's why it's a good idea to slow down..

It was just like a John Woo film.. That bird flying away in frame during the accident.. That's cinematic history right there.

That's called a stoopie
Clearly he was not aware nor ready to do this stunt.
Not having a proper seafty gear will also remaind him this for a long time.

I purposefully didn't refer to it as a "stoppie" because he didn't introduce the bike position by a forceful application of the front brake, raising the rear of the bike.

He had the rear wheel 'kick-up' because it was heavily-loaded. Eight or nine-hundred pounds of pig iron will do that to you when you run into a 'sleeping policeman,' with the result seen. I bet you a dollar he never rode a dirtbike in his life, because the best way to learn to street ride and to learn vehicle dynamics is to become proficient on a dirtbike.

Yep, quoted as truth:thumbs up:

I think I owe my ability to do long rolling burnouts to many years spent on a dirt bike as a kid , that and a loose screw!

Yea!! sure you do Tim:rofl_200:Actually Fire-medic made the dirtbike statement:biglaugh:

 

[Fire-medic]

That guy could have been killed when the bike came-down on him. He's lucky in that!

Funniest accident w/a mcy I ever saw on fire-rescue was a local eccentric who always fastened Japanese plastic & rubber monster models to his ride. You know, Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Mechanical Robot Godzilla, Ghidra, etc... . He was sideswiped on US-1 in the eastern Ft.Lauderdale metro area, the engine co got there & radioed back, "better bring a 'clean-up crew,'" which usually means a bad accident, fatalities, body parts, etc. Well there were body parts-parts of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Robot Godzilla, Ghidra, all smashed to sh_t & strewn-across the road, and the bike's rider, who I called "Dragon Bob," lying in the road w/a fractured leg and a concussion. Quite a sight, and hard not to laugh, if you knew his ride and what it looked-like 'before.'

"Better send the clean-up crew," indeed!:rofl_200::rofl_200::biglaugh::clapping:
