R1200GS Crash

[MrRubberNeckin]

The weight of the bike bucked him up, and kicking his center of gravity off. Big bikes are a bitch!!!

[jrrm3]

It was the BMW riding suit that caused that crash

[milky1081]

Hard luck mate, good work though.

[jpiramirez]

Oh well that's hardly a crash! I'm glad it was only a small fall at low speed

[shawnfarand]

that's not a crash, lol. That's called letting the bike rest.



[buzzkillor]

that;s not a crash, that's a nap

[OzClawhammer]

I thought he did a great job...floodways can be super slippery.

[mcdbull]

When riding, feet up, if you place feet on the ground you have lost control. Better to start on a bike with smaller displacement and weight until you develop the skill to drive and place the bike where its going rather then freezing up and falling down. The proper tires for the conditions are also key in maintaining control on surface. Have fun and learn before you hurt yourself or someone else.

i am not a bmw fan, but i must say a ktm adventure can't do it too. Many forget that this bike is a street cruiser only, nothing else. For this landscape route you need a real motocross bike or one with limited weight around 100-120kg

[daho17]

idiot.

[DarkBlueIght]

Fare questo tipo di off road con la GS1200, tutto caricato.. mi sembra un tantino esagerato!

[orogos]

shit bike..buy a ktm or stay on the road

[HMSDaring1]

@orogos oh, KTM can't do shit right! No one buys KTM for off road, this motorbike is sold more than any other off road motorbike,

[orogos]

shit bike buy a ktm !

[usforeignpolicy]

Looks like fun.

[51harrypotter]

bravo coglione

[curavacas1]

aun así, tiene mérito

[kx125isgood]

GS is too big~

i like cross

[izom]

...cmon- its not a crash- its just alittle fall over....AND the good thing about that heavy pig- it just leans to side a little bit- staying on the cylinders.;-)

keep on ridin

[7jocco]

My KLR is a handfull in mud and,sand. I could only imagine what that 1200 would be like. That kind of terrain requires alot of skill on a bike that size.I think He did well.

[GizmoCode]

yup.... plus i think that's the ADV which is way bigger than the normal 1200...

[giodog2000]

Good effort....

[4wheeldrifting]

maybe if he stacked more shit on the bike it would help

[jkapp27]

@4wheeldrifting

They were likely on a long offroad trip. maybe days, weeks, months.

[lonefz6]

@4wheeldrifting LOL

[rlenner]

he did good, these guys talking shit don't know a first thing about handeling a big bike like that in the mud ...

[herrdirektor1969]

This guy deserves a medal !

[dr350rider27]

A BMW R 1200 weighs about 500 pounds

[annelore223]

Ugly paste that is, almost impossible,

The speed was okay, but the mud is too soft for that kind of weight!

Brave driver ! :)

[smcgrath14]

What a horrible biker he paddles it down the hill than cant even make it through water

[yautja898]

Keep in mind he had more than 30KG of gear on the back, he is travelling the world as i speak and didnt want to risk breaking anything. Unfortunately he forgot about the width of the bike on exit of the creek, and the panniers hitting the dirt wall

[alexskylarking]

@smcgrath14 Why a horrible biker? He hits what seems to be a hole and the bikes goes off in a different direction

[TraperJaslo]

LOL??... small very small skill!!!

[balzacbee]

way too big - in a 650, it would've been easy.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@balzacbee 650? ok, so let's go around the world on a Honda xr250, much lighter lol can't carry shit on it but you can do the 5% of situations like this.. honestly some comments are a joke.. \the whole adventure thing is to battle it out against the odds and the elements, the harder the better imo.

[Schnellpanzer]

Ouch! Shit happens...
