Great thing about that bike is he probably is fine. On a sportbike he'd be totally boned, but since he'll slide on his crash bars and pegs as long as he holds on he'll be A-OK.

The woman however doesn't realize this, and will pay dearly for it.

I doubt he will be fine...they would have slid for maybe 10ft then gone over the edge on the left side...Tail of the Dragon is on the side of a mountain, so at least a 10ft drop off the other side of the road into bushes (hopefully no trees...)

That is on big OUCH moment...Yikes!!

Later.

My girlfriend showed me some pictures of motorcycle crashes, The AFTERMATH of some people who didn't make it.... Good lord I felt my whole body tingle when I saw that.. After that I yelled at her for showing me them and left on my bike going home.. I went like 10mph...

I've seen the series of pics with this spill. They both end up on the pavement and get up afterwards. . I'll see if I can find the link tonight.

he did that on purpose.

he didn't fall or anything, but he went beyond dragging the peg. as you can tell he is still on the bike, so he straightened up and kept riding as usual.

just kidding...that would be awesome though

Is he wearing a full helmet?  I thought Hardley Abelson repoed bikes for that.

Low speed kersplat. Hurts enough to make you feel stupid and reinforce that motorcycles are dangerous for your non-riding friends  :bstar:
