Wow, yeah, it's a pretty mundane drop, not at all like the drama and fuss of the article.
Anyway, it's a really cool bike, but look at that riding position. Looks incredibly difficult to control, plus I think I'd only last 30 minutes on it before my back and neck beg for mercy. But then, handling and comfort aren't exactly the point of customs.

The little Errr sound to me like his front wheel hit the wheel of the parked car that had its wheel turned.

Must be nice to afford a "massive collection" of motorcycles. I'm lucky I can afford 2.

After watching the video it looks like he clipped the front brake lever on the car he was passing. Sucks to be him but I'm sure that he'll recover financially

He was filtering through traffic, which was surprising. I thought riding in between lanes is illegal in the US.

Add it's totally legal there to do so.

[off-topic]Whoever quoted that should take the Gay out until they legalize gay marriage there.

That riding position definitely looks uncomfortable, and that accident totally his bad. The article made it sound like he was being actively chased and had to swerve to avoid hitting someone, rather than what really happened. Live and learn I suppose.

I agree with High Side, it looks like he caught his front brake lever on the car he was passing.
The seating position on that bike looks really uncomfortable and unbalanced with his hands and feet forward.
If he wants to ride anonymously he shouldn't ride such high profile bikes.
Heartthrob?.....that's subjective.

+1, and maybe he should wear a full-face with a tinted shield... Maybe lose the "Hey Look At Me" crazy beard... Ya know, the little things that make it so obvious!
