Laughing There was a clip on worlds wildest police videos where one harley decided to go off road to let a cop car (who was chasing someone else in the group) through and promptly 'wrecked', then after they'd been stopped another one decided to crash into the back of his mates. Wish I could find the video Sad

I was having a discussion earlier tonight about all these American videos where folk wreck on the slightest bends. Then a friend pointed out that my first crash was on an almost straight road at 35mph... now feel a bit stupid.

Don't feel stupid, these people should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ED8BfPtaTw Thumbs Up

Pretty much what might have happened in the OP's video. The second rider trying to use the rear brake, failing hard, as his feet were already on the ground trying to stop the motorcycle.

The car wheel-spinning at 3:50 suggests there's something else going on here, and cameras often disguise the degree of incline and camber. I wonder if both bikes skidded and recovered but were then pointing at the drop on a nasty slope.

The whole OCC show was full of crap.

They can't be serious about anything they say or do. If they are, then 'mericans must be the least demanding customers on this planet (build quality, performance...)

Let's not talk about the crap build quality of their motorcycles. What really surprises me how well people talk about the OCC motorcycles. When you watch the show and anyone goes for a test ride, you can tell even watching this on a 480p Tv that the frame is flexing, yet they talk about great stability and how they managed to achieve that. They also very rarely can manouver the motorcycle. I get it they build choppers, but still. And the money people pay for those creation is mental. Confused

The theme motorcycles are even more mental. 95% of the bits are from a catalogue of generic parts. 5% is the paint job and CNC machining of the customer's logos. Look, we could pay someone to burn your logo into a piece of wood, that we're going to mount here, yay. Confused

That video is scary. The comments on that video are even worse. How anyone can ride for any length with so little understanding of their machine is incredible.
