Ha !
Amatures with poorly designed over-weight bikes.

That curves tends to take out a lot of bikes of all kinds.

I can't be sure but looks like he lowered it too - rear shocks look too short - front maybe as well. idiot. (and I ride a FatBoy with Apes)...

It's hard to tell how much the crash was related to his shoe catching the pavement.

He sparked, pulled it up a bit, saw he was heading off the pavement, then leaned in harder, and lifted the rear tire. That's all she wrote......

I've never seen that model Harley used in a flat track application.
Aside from the dumb factor, you got to give the rider credit for style points; to lay that pig over like a dirt tracker and then pop up like that's how you always park the bike.

And yes, I think he is a future member of the Darwin organ donor program.
