Get Ready to Hold Your Breath: This BMW R1250 GS Ride Goes Horribly Wrong! #adventure #motorrad

In this BMW R1250 GS crash video, you'll be able to see just how risky it can be to ride a motorcycle off the beaten path in South Africa. The big rock and ruts in this area are nothing compared to the dangers lurking on the road, and this rider learned that the hard way. Don't be fooled by the beauty of this location – there's plenty of danger lurking off the path.

One second it's there, and the next second it's still there. Rocks, man, that's just how they are.

When traveling in new dusty environment it’s always best to leave a gap so that you can see wherethefuck you’re going

[wellshutchins]

Don't play follow the leader, look well ahead and pick your own line. there's a huge amount of clear road there.

if he was alone he wouldn't hit that rock

...most people don't need adventure bikes.... they need to learn how to ride!!!

[chipm]

Good grief that is a big rock. Not unusual in mishaps, couple of things came together to help make this happen, much to learn from. I hope the rider is o.k. And put on proper gear for your safety.

Like the Baja race crowds all mysteriously standing next to the worse obstacles 😂

Why is there a huge rock on the trail?...And why has no one removed it?

[KostaYNK]

i never understand why they make such heavy bikes for dirt road….

[sanjaymohandubey]

Worst problem in group riding is following the bike ahead of you instead on focusing of your ride fundamentals

[alanjm]

A friend of mine went for a trail ride and came across someone who had crashed one of these things at high speed. Dead.

240kg and 150hp on the dirt = a recipe for disaster.

I'd like to give a special shoutout to the guy filming right next to that big rock in the middle of the road. Please don't let people know it's there or let people know you put it there for content. Great job!

[MrCotto]

Looking at the comments here and I still don't understand why nobody asked why the person filming this didn’t think about moving this massive hazard from the path. This rock is so big and is so out of place for the surrounding environment its hard to believe nobody cared to stop and move it.

[MotoBeemer]

All good, glad nobody got hurt. These things happen

[MKlukowski]

What I like most is the onslaught of useless comments like, "Bike too heavy, rider can't ride, no situational awareness."

I'd like to see *any* bike hit that rock at that speed in a rut like that and make it out. Unless you're Chris Birch('s level of awesomeness), everybody loses in this scenario.

(But riding too close and accidentally falling into the rut left little time to react for the rock as the fall into the rut probably took away the attention from what was actually in it. Shit happens ;) )

[underthedrone]

Riding about 20-30 yards too close to each other. No time to react to something the guy ahead just avoided. I don't even like riding close on the asphalt. No need. I like to look around so I want reaction time between me and the guy ahead of me and the guy behind me. I've never understood that nut to butt riding formation.

Hi, may I include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel

[blipco]

Probably singing "Convoy" in his head. 🎼We gotta a mighty convoy trav'lin thru the night. Convoy, 🎼

[sanatandharma]

I too hope tbe rider is ok. I came off my e- bicycle the other week and fractured my shoulder and put a hole in my elbow!!! And i was doing about 20kph.

One of my pet peeves is when the next video suggestion comes on while the main subject of the video is still in play.
