Damn....you give that dude a goatee and that could be me.......

 
Must be all that fork oil that caused the wheel to slide.

Crap colour anyway.

The bike has a perimeter crash frame, no windshield, no mirrors and the levers don't match. It isn’t like he’s never crashed before. Where is that Honda air bag when you need it?

 
Do you think any of his friends in the background put the proper gear on after this??
At least they have helmets on.

I think the levers thing is a broken end on the front brake lever. He's got the clutch pulled in all the way, the extra on the right is the rear brake, so he can wheelie with his feet up over the bars, or sitting backwards on the tank, or headstanding, or whatever. (Edit: Looking again, they still don't match, do they?)

So is that fork oil spraying? Maybe brake fluid? Does it matter? <_<

Hard to say which, at first I thought it was brake fluid but there is too much. In any case, it may be the only chance for him to save it. If he gets enough oil under the wheel to kill traction he may be able to slide out of it. Chances: Slim to none. If'n I'd knowed I were gonna crash I would've wore my hat instead of the rag.

 
I'm kinda suprised that something on a fork could BREAK like that. That's a bit of metal.

Good timing on the camera trigger too.

Teaser!

Where's the "after" pics? I wanna see road rash. I hope that's a Kevlar doo rag & t-shirt he's got on there....

Doods....it's fork oil!

Notice the left fork is straight and very short...not attached to the wheel hub...

and the right fork is bent out to his right and is shaped like an arc?

Also notice he has the handlebars straight and the wheel is "splayed" to his right.

This is a "stoppie" gone evil-bad.

Uh-oh...Houston, we have a problem!

Look at his face, he's starting to say, "Oh, fook!" You can see him forming the "OH".
