Why did he go down?

Rider: I'm gonna lean it like Rossi
Footpeg: The fuck you are!

Great demo of how long denim jeans last in a slide.

Every new motorcycle I buy, I Ride as a begineer to understand the behavior of that bike. It is a Daily relationship and the confidence comes.

The rear tire doesn't slide, but instead is lifted off the ground by the foot peg hitting the ground

As far as a crash this is the best possible outcome. You lay it down and slide, no oncoming cars, bike doesn’t flip and goes into a leaf pile for a somewhat soft landing, and you don’t do any flips and just slide. Best way to crash 10/10

Honestly that's a pretty decent scenario having a pile of leaves for the bike to go into

Perfect example why you don't wear flip-flops and shorts when riding any style of riding or bikes.

List of things to do before you ride corners at the limit. Ensure your pegs and exhaust are high enough for a significant lean angle. Check your tire pressures and use tires that are designed for BOTH the track & street riding. Learn to limit the lean angle of the bike by moving your head over the inside bar. Never steer always counter steer and use lean to corner, never grab the brake after you've entered the corner, never chop the throttle, always look way down the road through the turn. Do all of this consistently and practice at the track and you'll probably never low side if you don't go right to the edge of traction. Also know your conditions, road temp, gravel, humidity and dampness of road surface.

At least he didn't have loaded saddle bags. The most embarrassing thing after a crash like that is picking up your underwear off the highway

Probably the cleanest and most forgiving oopsie I have seen in a while.

Hard front braking while turning, see how the back tire alignment is changed from the front tire.

We should all send this video to people who never gear up.

Bowser dropped a triple banana peel in turn 3.

PSA: body position is important. If you lean your body off of the bike, this is much less likely to happen, as the bike needs to lean much less.

[lilfairycupcake]

leaned a bit to far into it? gravel? pavement cold? tires not up to temp? stay the F off the yellow line! learned that one the hard way.

[stevepompei]

If nobody already did, Kudos for that camerawork!

[ephraimmelad]

Luckily those were some fine and soft dried leaves

[jdamage]

Prime example to ALWAYS WEAR YOUR FULL GEAR SUIT PERIOD... Glad he's alright..

[Kjetilstorm]

Plot twist: The bike just wanted to make leaf angels.
