Yup, you could clearly see it was a brick as he tipped it over the other way.
Was he trying to make sure the scratches were even? That the bars were equally bent on both sides? Or just to total it for insurance purposes? _________________ M N B

If you fall on the right side:
PUT THE SIDESTAND DOWN BEFORE YOU PICK IT UP!!!!!
He could have avoided two tipovers.
And, if I were the camera person, I'd hitch a ride in one of the four wheelers.

I can kind of understand what happened. I had a relatively minor but nasty crash on my CB900 about ten years ago, picked it up and managed to limp it home. Then I dropped it three times trying to park it in the garage. I was simply too rattled, in too much pain and shock to think straight, and I'd crushed my left hand. I'd manage to get the bike upright, but would instinctively grab the bars with my left hand and immediately drop it when the blast of pain hit me. _________________ '93 K1100RS

Might have been gravel, oil or anything there. Gotta watch that front brake... _________________ Jim

I never use mine, I've heard it'll flip you over the handlebars. Saves on bobbin wear too.

Several member of my local club were moto marshalling that event. They were on GS bikes. The conditions were horrible, torrential downpours from Tropical Storm Hanna. It had not rained much before Hanna hit, so add in all of the oil on the road that is just starting to get washed off, and you get the picture. Many of the racers crashed as well that day. I was home, dry.
The inital drop there wasn't much he could do about it, but all the others? sheesh. _________________ 1997 K1100LT

Love the way his passenger/cameraman just stands there and watches him dropping it. And again.... And again.... _________________ '95 K1100lt
