I dont feel so stupid now

I think it's fair to say everyone who takes a GS off-road will have a fall, so not unusual at all. Some were pretty funny though ;) That crash after about 1.20 ish looked nasty :eek:

Is that the one on tarmac , it looked rough didnt it , he seamed to drift over to far or give it to much brake by the looks , or both :)
 
Seems obvious to me that if you are going to ride off road, you need to practice on a motocrosser. Get the skills on something a little more user friendly.
Any GS is a big heavy thing to take off the tarmac.
 
The left hander looked nasty, no apparent reason for the crash, puncture? tyre not correctly inflated?

70MPH bend? without a doubt he should have got round that.

Entertaining otherwise

To me it just looked like he underestimated the weight of the bike with pillion and luggage, carried too much speed and the bike pushed wide :nenau
It's amazing how much bikes want to run wide with just a small amount of added weight, there's a noticeable difference on my GSA between an empty tank of fuel and full tank off fuel. When full I can feel the bike wanting to run wider, and that's only approx 30kg's
