BMW R1200GS Motorcycle Crashing in a River.

I take a spill on some slippery rocks.

If you want to check out my other foolish crashes on my motorcycle check out.

Halfthrottle, your name is so descriptive. Listen guy, take my advice: first, remove this video; it's embarassing! Second, take some off-road riding lessons or at the very least, spend some time watching how it's done in motocross races or other videos. Watch how it's done! Get of your buttocks, on the pegs, and throttle a bit more to get you through the puddles. It helps to have knobbies too! C'mon man, upload another video to redeem yourself. Where's the pride?!!

@elego49 Thanks for the advice. I'll get right on it.

Are you using offroad tires ?

[halfthrottle]

@malacoda242 Avon Distanzia's are the bike there.

@elego49 I agree but i say go get another bike! BMW's have no place on a road like that! this dude can't ride you gotta start with some speed and stay steady in your throttle but i guess the fact that he drives a BMW off-road says it ALL!!!!

@elego49

hi there.for sure our man doesn't deal very well abt offroad riding.but the real problem is that gs1200(i own it)got a bad front suspension for dirt use.if you pay attention some seconds before the crash you will see how the front wheel jumps on the rock.

got the some problem on the RUTA 40 in Patagonia.my wife rided a gs 100 pd.traditional front fork.no problem at all!bye bye ps:sorry for my english!

Training wheels, maybe outriggers.
