The riding started getting rough,
       They shiny bike was tossed,
If youre in the market for a cruise,
       There are ways to lower costs.

Sorry.  I saw Gilligans Island for some reason...

Even Gilligan wasn't that stupid.

Now this is interesting. I follow the link, and it tells me the video is not found -- but internet download manager (an application that automatically offers me the option of saving pretty much all embedded clips to my hard drive) tells me there is a 1.78 MB clip, and asks if I want to download it. I did, and it is obviously the video that is supposedly 'not found' weird! Regardless, I have the clip, in MP4 format, should anyone need it. 1.78MB, which fits in email.
All that being said, I can't speak for everyone, but I have bumped a bag without meaning to -- ask my buddy with the '01 that I nearly knocked down at a gas station...

In respnse to Aspire who commented on the original thread. I agree the video appears to be set up. There is no movement of the camera. This clip does not appear to be a rare moments that happened to be captured.

No serious consequences though...

Deep six.

Post by: B.D.F. on December 03, 2012, 02:40:00 PM
That is what happens when you ride an FJR and get distracted looking for sixth gear....

At least C-14 saddlebags have the decency to just fall off the bike without requiring any kind of rider induced jolt or bump.

Relax you guys.  Not everyone reads EVERY post on the forum and when the subject lines read differently folks don't know they have a duplicate, triplicate, etc.  Folks just want to share something interesting.  Makes a good case for accurate subject lines though so people might recognize a previous post as the same as theirs.

Yeah, but within a few threads of each other?  On the same page?  I don't think so.  My patience has worn thin, unlike me, on this subject.  Hey, I get it, everyone wants to see an FJR fall into the water multiple times but this is getting ridiculous. >:(

It's also amazing when I go to a thread and see no videos so I have nothing to compare to or even to reference from.

The video that you (Timsatx) posted contained the background information on why the rider was doing what he was doing in English.  This may be the same guy that crashed the first 08 model on a demo run.

Kawasaki's GTR1400 First Crash Caught On Film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZXYTGV2I6I#)

Those rascally French...they even have a scene next to some docks.  Some think this may have been staged but even if true, destroying a perfectly good bike for journalistic purposes deserves the guillotine, whatever brand.
