Easily done :(

Good to see the rider looks ok, hopefully the same with the bike :2up

probably not the best combo for wet tarmac, big skinny front wheel, reasonably heavy tall bike and possibly non optimal tyre i.e semi offroad

might have been better taking his chances running the kerb

Looks like the guy just switched off and had a bit of target fixation. His leg comes off the footpeg way before he went down puting all his weight on the seat. One wee slide and the he wasn't able to weight up the pegs and let the bike move beneath him.

And why not? I think he looked quite smart. Imagine if he'd turned up wearing a skirt. ;)
