Moto Vlog - Why I crashed!

... Rear suspension seized, all weight on front wheel mid turn (as rear shock could not keep tyre on ground, lowside)... My fault for not doing the daily check on the rear shock. Did my best to pull up detail from the go pro, but without street lights help it can't capture anything no matter how hard I push the post processing.

@spartanturtle333 ah yes, people love that movie, especially when Jack Black gets shot :)

They didn't teach us anything about checking the rear suspension here as part of the daily checks. How do you check the rear suspension?

To be honest, I've had my 250R nearly 2 years and I am yet to do a single "daily check" and I only washed the bike once, lol - maybe I should pay more attention now.
