He's leaning right on a left corner. If he leaned left, the C/G would move left accordingly and require less lean angle of the bike itself.
He needed to slow down or learn to take a corner quickly, one or the other.

He didn't slightly accelerate as he leaned in. The front fork compressed cutting his clearance. Also he was trying to ride like a dirt tracker, keep the feet on the boards, luckily he didn't break his leg.

I've never understood why people ride their baggers like they are sport bikes. The whole idea of scraping your pegs as being "cool" is something I just don't get. Personally I try to avoid any and all damage to my bike. This guy taking this turn the way he attempted is kind of like hammering a square peg in a round hole, it's just not made for that.
