Quite Horrendous, either way, Bike &/or rider, , & Yep, Agree, speed & in-experience on big bikes like that 'Dont Mix' But, Who knows what happened exactly ?
The obvious is not always the case ?
I Agree also Bart, the % of car accidents among cars (excluding trucks, buses etc) are a good amount higher than the % amongst bikes,, ? but out of each, there more bike riders in hosp for a week or more!
Funny: Aussie-Troopper, , My Son Ripped his leg open from knee to hip, a huge flap of flesh gouged out from a guard-rail. Emerg Drs said they Like Bikers, cause they give the most body parts, Lol, & that exactly what he said - funny after the fact but , oh man
Ive ridden bikes pretty much my whole life, & have had one major spill very much like this one, parked my front wheel beside the engine after hitting a sign, I was lucky and walk away after 10 minutes of 'shock'.
I will also admit it was entirely my fault, negligence in assessing how close the round-about was, had my eyes elsewhere for a moment. That was way back in the '80's ?
I just hope this guy learns from it as much as I did, how/what ever caused it !
