…or anything that looks like a diesel spill. If it follows the line of the road, then that’s a fairly good clue…
I hate the way nobody stopped and got out to help him.
Sick isnt it , first car actually goes around his kit sprawled all over the road !!
At least the other biker on a different road , parks up crosses a small field to come to help !
bad times.
But why was he holding on front brake for so long??
also clutch was in for the approach of corner, and going round.
???
I’m not sure that I would have seen that spill in time to avoid it. Scary.
Wow can;t believe the only person that stopped to help was a biker going past on the other slip road! If I was in a car I would have certainly stopped… People just don’t look after each other
Rear tyre at 1:26 looks bald as a coot !
that was weird, he seemed to be braking with the front and have the clutch in for the whole time he was on the bike, bar the moment he crashed when he released the front brake.
it seemed like he was on the diesel for a long time before he came off, but it was actually just over a second.
even if he knew how to ride round a corner wouldnt make much of a difference
imagin if ge was riding just that little bit faster. his body actually hit the barrier as well the bike 
he was obviously braking on the straight before the bend, but was asking for trouble coasting through the turn…
I think he was screwed, by the time you see the diesel, it’s probably too late
It was quite a bad spill, one of the occupational hazards of biking. I saw a few in Germany recently like that. Needless to say the offending drivers were extracted and shot at the roadside
^ good. Do you still collect their tongues in a jar of gundelsheim pickle??
Yeah I send them to Nick in Lagos, I tell him they’re gonads. He laps them up
Very strange that, looks as if he was sort of coasting with the clutch in so no engine braking going on (if he was in the right gear).
But diesel is nasty nasty stuff as I have found myself on a roundabout in Northolt next to the fire station. Bastards came out and put sand on it after I pointed out
to the station chief the line of diesel that ran around the roundabout straight into the station. No liability admitted but not too much damage done.
Poor guy, though you’re all right … that is some weird break/clutch control and that tyre is BALD! He was almost “asking” for this. If the insurance co saw that tyre I’d be surprised they’d pay up.

In case anyone was wondering what the very haunting (and beautiful) soundtrack is, I shazammed it, and it’s “Everyday” by Carly Comando, written specifically for this viral video of a guy who took a photo of himself every day for six years.
Struck me as odd at first that someone would put a soundtrack like this to a video of a bike accident, but then I realised it does seem to work. Even made me get quite emotional when I saw the contrast between the reactions of the car drivers with that of the other motorcyclist.
What a special bunch we are :rolleyes:
Is that not just the tread pattern? ie no tred in the middle and the otherside is in shadow so you cant see it.
Its possible, but they look like extremely worn Conti Go tryes. Should be a decent bit of grip in the middle!
