Title: Interesting crash vid....
Post by: Huff1371 on December 25, 2012, 08:29:03 PM
I don't know how over 9,000,000 saw this before me. I'm sure many of you, if not all, have seen it. Anyhow,  here it is.

I think there's another version with the theme from the Benny Hill show playing......

Kinda makes me wonder why they don't have some kind of automatic shut off feature if they are tipped past the maximum lean angle.

Or a pull-cord like a jet ski.

I think they use this clip in just about every motorcycle crash compilation video on You Tube.

I've never seen the dedicated clip of this but I've seen it edited into a couple other crash compilations...

BEWARE HARLEY BASHING AHEAD.....
I could see Harleys with a switch like that due to their never being leaned over far without a crash.

Watch before you speak about Harleys!

Unlike sport-bikes, 99% of Harley's sold are still on the road...

Only 1% make it home. :cheers:
