Bad Luck For A French Journalist Riding The New Fjr

[SacramentoMike]

Pretty sure that was his karma for wearing a Los Angeles Rams helmet for a motorcycle helmet.

OH SHIT!!!

That's too bad. That looks like it could happen to anybody. You guys are a little hard on this guy's misfortune. I hope you never do anything by mistake. Jus sayin......

It's the American's. There still upset about the French toasting Ricky Bobby.

Good thing the boat was there to catch him, otherwise he'd of gone in the drink, even funnier! :rofl:

It's the America's Funniest Home Videos syndrome: Laughing at other people's misfortunes and injuries. I don't find accidents very funny....

 

[dcarver]

Stupid hurts

 

[Usul]

I like to look at the good side....he did a hell of a job avoiding those trash cans.

Sooner than we ever thought possible, we may find out the answer to the question: Will a Gen III motor fit into a Gen II bike? Keep an eye on e-bay for a '13 parts!

That's the Shark Evoline 3 Hakka. That's my helmet! He made it look bad. Lol.

 

[Top Case]

Damn sidebags....gets you everytime.

Don't want to ride with side cases unless absolutely necessary - though they are OK for cooling beer.

It's a damn good thing he had it on. Did you see his head hit the boom of the sailboat on his way down? That was a hell of a hit.

 

[SwollenRaccoon]

Say what you want, and I may burn in hell for it, but THAT was funny.

(At least I was riding on a twisty, gnarly road in Arkansas when mine hit the pavement....and I didn't have to try and figure out how to get it off a dock 15 feet below the sidewalk. And I don't laugh at accidents, but stupid people are very entertaining when the don't get injured too severely)

After the crash.

 

[yamafitter]

Did anyone get a photo of the VIN number??

 

[Bounce]

Since he didn't have a weapon handy, his only other option was to throw down the FJR.

He looks pretty proud of being stupid in that one photo.

 

[azitlies]

I don't know... looks proud?

for all anyone can tell, maybe hes got a smile on his face saying... "can't believe I'm that stupid!!"

 

[Burnspot]

After the crash.

That'll buff out.

I'm surprised the forks still look straight...from the looks of the spill, they were in for a crunch, but I guess the nose took it all.

 

[Redfish Hunter]

Even though I see the humor in it, I felt bad for the guy. At least he looks stylish with that fur trimmed hood on his parka. I have never seen an armored motorcycle jacket with a fur trimmed hood before.

It is odd though that he did not get the bike into the water. Usually something that valuable when dropped near saltwater goes into the water. The depth of the water usually affects the chances of water contact. The temperature should certainly have been a factor as well. If it was as cold as it looked he should have personally fallen into the water as well.

I sure hope that he did not hurt that boat. I am not a sailboat guy but I know they are expensive and all boat people love their boats.

 

[kamal]

This was very unfortunate and I feel bad for the guy. But, what I want to know is how did he get the bike to the start of the video - with a crane?

Al.

Yep Iris, were all guilty of doing stupid stuff, dang video cameras just catch us in the act now!

He looked like he was kinda lolly gagging around those posts, maybe he forgot his rear was fat with those bags (not used to a ST bagged-up bike?).

At least he wasn't hurt (I think) and he landed right in the sailboat! ...I had to watch the video twice to actually see this as I was froze on watching the bike do a head stand.

I've determined that this is the most reposted video on the net ever. Poor mods here are busy trying to get our upgrade going and all they spend time doing is culling this stupid vid from popping up in new posts.

Here's a tip....if you are going to title your thread "Don't know if this has already been posted" then guess what?

And this vid takes "I had to lay er down" to a whole new level!!!
