Angie, looks like he locked up his rear brake going into the turn. He lost control when it started rolling again. After that he froze. If he needed to slow down he should have decelerated and used a little front brake.

Do I win the trip and the new motorcycle?

Very good Charlie!! If I had a new motorcycle to give away you would be the guy. Can I offer you a beanie from Suzuki?

Angie, I'll let you hang on to the beanie. That guy in the video learned a tough lesson. At least I hope he learned a lesson.
