That's a pretty violent transition for most of us average dudes and suffice it to say, I don't think he planned it that way or that the bike just kinda slide around on him. In the last pic you can see some of the scuff marks of the front wheel as the bike rotated counter clockwise

Note to self, never do something for a camera.

I saw smoke coming coming off back tire, and assumed he was spinning it. Usually when a bike tire slides, does not make too much smoke. When spinning up, they do tend to smoke up. There is a "blackie" behind him...not sure from spinning tire or brake sliding of tire.

In either case, whether brake slide induced or wheel spin induced, he highsided that mofo.

It's a Bubba Scrub without the ensuing downhill.

Or do you mean a " Bubba Dump" or a Huck-a-buck??

My two cents on the Duck backing it into the corner. It looks like he was locking the rear brake up and not on the power. If you look at the chain while the tire is smoking there is no tension on the top of the chain. Maybe he panicked when he saw that little rock in the road

I like the fact that the dude is geared up for the ride.

Powered by the shine of the chrome I suppose.

I wince when I see a rider who puts no thought at all into coordinating their gear, bike and style. Good God men, you're public ambassadors for the incomparable joy and crushing beauty of motorcycle riding-- exercise some self-respect and show some dignity!

Huh? Do I smell a contradiction around here?

I call it "more money than sense"...

Wait a minute...according to this study, you are less likely to be killed if drunk them is you had no alcohol?
"In 2010, 29 percent of fatally injured riders had a blood alcohol concentration at or above the legal limit of .08, the highest of all motorists."

so...71 % of those who died had less then .08%....which appears to show it is better to be hammer then straight.

I am going to have to rethink this who non drunk driving thing...
