I just love this video. I saved it months ago. One time I warmed up the bike, pulled out of the driveway and it died. I forgot to turn on the fuel. As the saying goes it happens. Since he laughed at himself, great. Hearing the sadness of his wife made me feel good.
FJR 1300 (at least 2007 models) are prone to stall like the bike did on this vid. Its fuel injection system causes it, not the rider. Earlier, maybe 2005 there were some recalls too 'cause of the throttle position sensor defect.
I about died laughing when it stalled. That would never happen to me, especially if I was trying to make a grand exit on camera... No way, umm never. ;)

Hope he's a good enough rider to make it back...a lot of things can happen on the road by yourself.

That was sooooo sad... I felt so sorry for you watching him leave. I assume he made it back in one piece though...

I love the crazy revving sound it made after he stalled it. It sounded human... but... nah! :)
Awesome bike.
