He obviously went straight, of course, but watching the video... He just sits up. I haven't rode a motorcycle yet in my life, but i've read enough to know and.. COMMON SENSE... Says that sitting up while you have to lean to turn just doesn't work out for a rider.

Unless he had to go in the ditch...for some reason..... maybe he thought he was riding an enduro?

it's obvious, this guy is a maple syrup addict and thought he saw Mrs. Butterworth hiding out and decided to chase her down...or he's a dolt, one of the two

OK - that's hilarious! But maybe it's Aunt Jemima he's got the hots for! :laughing:

Yeah, he was definitely 'fighting the bike' on that right-hander. Doesn't lean...At first it looks like he drops into the corner well, at least the bike does, but he's sitting almost straight up. Picture that oncoming traffic about 10 yards closer and he's a donor...

He doesn't take the two corners before the crash very well - he sets up the lean late into the corner, doesn't look to be in control of his line. Looks like his whole upper body is stiff, kind of like he's fighting with himself.

Wonder if he learned anything?
