He crashed.

He should have bought a sportster if he wanted to ride like he was on a Sportster.

He failed to keep the rubber side down.

over cooked it

He put the gas cap in the wrong place the last time he filled up

Too fast for a bagger with floorboards on a corner. Both wheels pushed off the pavement from heavy scraping of the floorboards and the left bag.

He changed out to synthetic oil the morning of the event, got some on his shoe which caused it to slip off the peg

He had his foot off the board, which caught on the pavement. He didn't have his chin up and wasn't looking all the way through the corner. His entry was a little suspect, and he didn't move his weight to the inside of the corner.

He was tryin' to keep up with his buddy on the sport bike in front of him, with thoughts of the boys at the bar after the ride make fun of his bagger in his head.


Pride can be a painful thing.


Ride your own ride. Especially if there's cameras there to immortalize your overconfidence.
