the engine case or floor board mount contacted the ground and levereged the weight off of the tires. Walks away smiling, as if trying to keep up with sport bikes on a living room couch with a half helmet and t-shirt is funny. Now we know why motorcycle insurance is so expensive.

Think its mostly been said. "Maybe" too fast into the corner but appears he could have made it if he entered the corner at a different angle. Even on sportsbikes I've drug my knees leaning off of the bike while cornering but never my pegs/bike parts LOL. And he actually would have had better tire adhesion if he'd kept his body to the left while turning left. Overall not a fan of baggers--they don't wreck well.

Everyone thinks they are so damn funny bashing HOG members about the buffet lines.
There was no reason for him to race for the buffet line, it is all you can eat. Obviously he is a HOG member trying to get to the starting point before all the jelly filled donuts are gone. If he gets there too late, all there are are those stupid multi grain bagels.

He failed to ride "his ride" and was trying to keep up with someone that could corner faster than him. He should have been covering the front brake lever not the clutch lever, and using it. I hate that he wiped out, that hurt, and cost.
