He's stinkin drunk an trying to show off front end unloads and.... Damn! my *** hurts

Think Mike called it right

:jester:

 

[FJR Steve]

There are two important points here......

He is French, and it is a Kawasaki.

It was bound to go wrong :buba:

 

[keithaba]

Well, after all the reviews I'm still not sure what this thing does better than the FJR.

The FJR even crashes better!!!

I don't know about that. Notice the way the bag broke off,

didn't even have to open it to collect the broken parts.

Both of mine took a terrible beating, neither broke off, or even cracked for that matter!

I have to agree with TWN's observation. He's lucky that wasn't a high side, and it's probably only because he wasn't going very fast. I think that when he got wide in the right hander (look at his outside body position and where the bike is in frame no. 1) and over-corrected, the bike somehow actually just went hard right but stayed on its wheels. Then he low-sided trying to correct with a hard left he had no choice but to try to make to straighten out a snake he'd set up. A little faster, and I'm thinking he'd have gotten pitched across the road in a high-side after frame no. 1, when the bike's sideways inertia was too much for the tires to take it that sharply to the right.

Not going to go out and try to replicate it, though. I'm not so sure it's a problem with the bike's handling as much as it is ****** riding, and it's the slow speed that allowed such a strange result.

In any case, the fact that the bag easily detaches in situ to provide a handy receptacle for the parts list to be lying about the road shows that the engineering forethought Kaw is so famous for is still intact.

Dumb *** frog. Best part is the sound of coins $$ as the one guy is picking up pieces and drops them into the luggage case cover.

Like this one :umnik2: ? I like this one hno-smiley: AND because the guy is some kind of "maroon" :mega_shok:

 

[sgoat]

A perfect example of why the French get the "de-tuned" engine.........

Eggzacery! That's it in a nutshell. Thanks for that.

The accident happened just before picture 1, you just can't see it because it happened in his head. That's about where he got the idea to probably do what MadMike and others said, trying to lift the front out of the corner, as a sport-bike. The rotational transition in attitude between #1 and 2 is beyond what I'd expect for a controlled maneuver. I'm not seeing a rear tire slide in the relation of the back to the front and high-sides will generally get crossed-up, too.

Kinda like Andre said, the hot-dog was the one who screwed the pooch, no matter the mechanics of how he did it.

between frame 1 and 2 you see the position of the rear tire has really changed with respec to his exit line. in frame 1 you see the front is turned in a wee bit too farr prolly cause it is unloaded and he is pulling on the bars with his body shifting to the outside of the corner as the rear tire locks back in and he is riding a highside. the rest is obvious front end washout and bikie go bye bye.

So he tried the wheelie out of the corner, rearend broke loose, locked back in starting the ridable highside but his front wheel is over steered into the corner and he over corrects. And yes, he's French and its a Cow

See your all right!

And what ever he was putting in the bag's new opening sounded awfally metalic!

 

[FJRMGM]

yeah, I think he did it on purpose to show the crash worthiness of the new machine.

And also so you can see how that color of gray doesn't show scratches very well. :lol:

And, as some has stated before - "he applied all his years of riding experience - and panicked".

 

[Cdogman]

Mebbe it was gravel that washed out the frontend on the edge of the road??

Bingo. A employee/buddy of mine is from France and couldn't stop laughing during this thing. It is a parody/spoof on a relatively popular French TV show called "Turbo". Here's their web page: https://www.turbo.fr/

The words shown on screen during the crash scene "Parfois, on fait pas semblant" mean "Sometimes, we don't fake it". But that doesn't mean they didn't do it on purpose. I expect they hired a stunt guy for that crash and that he was wearing plenty of armor under his jeans.

Simple answer. He was trying to hot-dog and the dog bit him. Showing off on a non-ABS fat pig will do that sometimes.

that was my conclusion about the whole video. look at what happens as he's leaving the mcdonald's parking lot. look at him mugging for the camera by not watching where he's going as he passes the lake. he was "acting" instead of riding and it bit him.
