TIL a motorbike can be a pretty good car ramp.

This is why I should keep my camera constantly charged and turned on

Someone forgot they weren't driving in the colonies.
ForKnucklesDeep
Not sure if that dude is lucky for low siding it like he did, or if he's that damn good at bailout techniques...
Keicars
This is not the UK.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
And this is why you don't try and overtake approaching a blind crest

It’s hard to point fingers based on this video, looks like the car did not see the bike. Bikes going high speed are hard to see.
Bossy22
Great, now I want to bust out my old Sega and play Road Rash
Rodri87
Im glad that over taking asshole got his/her car rolled over and probably totaled #instantkarma
Lurkindeepdown
Not sure this is the UK... Japan?

Gotta go high

Head right for the smoke!

What about Dick Trickle?
fistermatic5000
He's seeing a doctor.
jesusSaves696969
My asshole just got way to tight
toatalyunkoalafied
Holy fuck.
CyriousLordofDerp
This is why you dress for the slide and not for the ride. Also, good dodging by the cameraman.

That was so impressive!!!!

Pants were shat that day

Damn. Op name on point though. And I'm sure that'll buff right out...

Fuckin Cole Trickle for the win.
Kaiserzose
Panic grabbing your front brake on wet/slick pavement has this effect, ask me how I know lol
G0nz
This is why a just bought a bike with ABS after getting the license for big machines above 45 HP. But thats no guarantee, I know.
Kaiserzose
My next bike will have traction control and ABS, too many cold days with that rear end almost in front of me!
Kaiserzose
What'd ya get?
G0nz
Yamaha MT-07 for gaining experience with more power, but I own a MZ ETZ 250 too :>
Kaiserzose
Awesome man!! My last bike was a 06 R1, Yamaha's are so badass! I'll have to get another one! Ride safe my friend!!
dunkernater2
After he gets up they all drink
ComoSeIguana
And this is why you wear protective gear
pAceMakerNZ
Ah yes. The old crash your bike to avoid crashing your bike technique. Classic...
KaJuN
"Had to lay 'er down, man." No, you just suck at riding and don't pay attention.
fistermatic5000
Isn't there legit reasons to lay it down though? Legit question.
KaJuN
I guess if a tree falls in front of you or someone cuts you off and you're about to ride off a cliff.
amp99
It was actually in Indonesia, not the UK. Horrible crash though, everyone was very lucky to escape uninjured.

Okay. Anyone care to translate?
amp99
Google translate does a semi-reasonable job as a starting point.
Furicist
Is it a bad thing that the condition of the road in Indonesia is better than the ones are in the UK?
amp99
Definitely.
LeSethX
Better than here in California and we drive more
TheDevilsJester
UK roads are bad because of the amount of rain and the freezing temperatures. Ice expands -> breaks roads.
321Cheers
Nice bail!
Anonawesome
There is never a situation where "Laying 'er down" is a proper response. Basic physics that rubber on road will have more traction than
Anonawesome
sliding leather. He could have swerved and avoided if he hadn't 1, locked the front and 2, target fixated. By dumping his bike, he's
Anonawesome
sacrificing all control of the situation to chance, and endangering his buddies behind him and other drivers with a falling bike.
mds308
My brother wrecked his bike and the insurance lady asked if he was wearing his seatbelt.
BobarinoTheBobcat
NoOpinionsAllowed
SpudsArUs
I often wonder if I'd be capable of bailing like that or just freeze and do nothing. Like a dum-dum.
Insomnia297
Maybe you should practice?
mercbrit
If a car is coming at you, maybe his best option was to bail out!
photog
What does this gif on your mom have anything to do with it?
JPBf
Bail out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AJFleIrQ1Y
qwsoie101
Looks like wet road too, no? If yes, not really a day to ride in "close" formation.
PostIsRelatableToDisappointment
If executed correctly, yes. Which this was. He prevented himself from being ragdolled and thrown up into the air over the car. 1/
Itaru
Pretty sure he just locked his brakes. Probably saved him though.
PostIsRelatableToDisappointment
Put himself on his side, bike first and away from the car. Which has most likely saved his life.
BaltimoresJandro
This wasn't an intentional dump. He panicked my man. Still saved his legs though.
PostIsRelatableToDisappointment
Yeah, after looking at it a few more times seems more of a panic that an intention. But
albanette
perhaps he brackes too much and loose control, happen to me in october: close to loose front but left feet decide to stand my bike steady
Anonawesome
You are correct. I have to fight this stupid "Lay 'er down" thing every time I teach a new rider, especially Harley riders. He had plenty of
Anonawesome
traction to swerve and avoid, but he locked up the front and gave up all control of the situation.
trevasauruswrecks
No, he say a car passing ON A FUCKING HILL and rolled for 20
albanette
i see the fucking car but he got 2 choice: bracke or go extrem left
ge0rd1eb4lls
I hope those bikers got hold of that asshole.
TheScottishRonSwanson
Looks like he fked his car so I would assume they did
[deleted]
[deleted]
TheScottishRonSwanson
I was implying they cought up to him quite easily since he wreked his car and dealt with the douche appropriately
Steffn
The car flipped so unlikely he even could get away
killakrust
If I remember correctly, the driver of the car died in the accident.
happytreeleaf
Bikies
RubNipNotgay
?
happytreeleaf
Australian for Biker I believe
katseiko
Looks like the car got flipped or badly damaged. So yeah, he surely didn't get away.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
See to be honest, the error is trying to overtake on a crest. From the cars point of view the lane is clear until he enters the lane to
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
overtake and then the bikers come over the crest in to view. By that point it's all over for all parties involved.
ge0rd1eb4lls
So it wasn't clear FAR ENOUGH to complete the overtake. So the car should not have gone. So they're still an asshole.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
People make mistakes like that all the time, this time there was consequences. He's not an evil wrongdoer, but he fucked up
Srcsqwrn
I don't think they're saying the car's driver was evil. Just that this was their fault, and they should not have done that.
Tunisia
No, from the car's point of view there's no way of telling whether the lane is clear.
Robvp
The point is that you never try to overtake on a crest
LXA591
Ummmmm am I missing something it looks like the dude up front just fell off his bike and caused it all??
Silved
Yeah The only thing I saw was a biker falling down.
JustStopTalking
Biker bailed. Probably saved his life.
teakasaurus
I missed it too, thank you for asking
baileyjustin038
The car was in the wrong lane not the bike. Watch it a few times and remember UK. Also, imagine how you would respond in a car..
Thanossaves
Wow do you work for the car driver's insurance company? Cause it is painfully obvious that fault belongs with the car who is overtaking.
lykkebroer
I didn't even see the car the first four times I watched the video. Someone needs to throw a few more pixels at it!
creamyt
I missed it until a few views as well. There aren't many pixels, and most of them are filled with smoke.
username678
Here’s your asshole award. You deserve it.
v
FernandoRumdebum
Ya I thought so at first, but as below said, dived out way. Dude had to be in bike's lane as he clipped the bike
FernandoRumdebum
..Which he is because he's overtaking a car. Ignore me
mercbrit
Yes. Car overtook into bikers path, biker dived out of the way to avoid a head on which he would have spoiled him.
FernandoRumdebum
The more I watch it the more I think it's deffo the biker's fault. He falls, the wheel slides into the middle, causing the car to clip
FernandoRumdebum
Nope nevermind, car is clearly overtaking someone. I should put in my contacts..
serpentinebaboo
Good on you for admitting you’re wrong. Rare thing on the internet.
teakasaurus
Thank you! I had missed that as well XD in thanks, I offer you this dance.
v
mercbrit
I am satisfied with that dance. Thank you.
Jomini001
Took a few views to realize that car was trying to pass... idk where this is but as a 15+ rider idk why homeboy dumped
InThePlums
Looks like he locked front and rear, the bike goes down with wheels straight. He had room to veer it looked like.
InThePlums
If he was gonna panic though, that was actually his best case scenario. Locking just the front or back could’ve thrown him into the car.
wileypdf
Seems like a happy mistake on his part since his bike caused the passing car to flip
MyUsernameIsUpHere
Looks like the camera guy is pretty close as well, to me it looks like he locks his rear breaks 1-2 times. Well done camera guy!
MyUsernameIsUpHere
Slammed his front brake?
BaltimoresJandro
I'm a rider as well and thought the same. Looks like he jerked his bike in panic
teakasaurus
Though it may have unintentionally saved his ass
ImNotGayBut20BucksIs20Bucks
He bailed to save him from being ragdolled
TenaciousMe
He panicked
usernameleftblank
Your bike follows where your eyes are looking, well, that’s if you don’t grab a handful of brakes first.
247saf
Understandable for inexperienced riders to grab the front brake when there's a car coming towards you. Guy behind shows how not to panic.
Jomini001
Clearly.. but idk why. He had time and space right?
MyUsernameIsUpHere
He might have seen it late, maybe water or oil stains where he braked. But I'm gonna go with inexperienced. Still just a guess.
WillemDaFriend
You’ve been riding for 15 Years and can’t recognize a newbie in the middle of the pack who locked up?
BaltimoresJandro
You took the words from my keyboard.
Jomini001
Apparently not? Dude looks like he just dumped for no reason. Can't see anything in road or whatever.
WillemDaFriend
Well, he can see the incoming car before the camera can, so he locked up because there's a car in the wrong lane. Doesn't take a wizard.
weallservetheoldone
Locked rear wheel and went sideways. This time probably saved his life. Hey we all been there...
Squirkiz
Everyone on this gif is driving on the wrong side of the road, doesn't help to see who is passing who.
SmellyPotatoMan
Well yes, but in some countries everyone drives on the wrong side of the road too, so it's actually not a problem.
justsignedupforthishit
Not for me. I googled the app that inverted it AND explained who was wrong. It also said the earth was flat.
mrread55
sp4cepope
Ron Paul for president. The N word.

Or, everybody is in a country where they drive on the left. There are many, you know.
Squirkiz
Nooooo really ?
Alpinecrags
Nobody can take a joke
OpenMindOpenMouth
If you've ever had a head on with a car, slammed nuts first into the tank, cartwheeled or supermaned 10 feet off the ground...
HumansArePrettyNeat
I launched on a fucking graceful ass arc into the middle of an intersection, tucked and rolled, small scrape. Guy I hit turned left in front
Aesandre1989
My back wishes to send you a firm letter of disgust, having been reminded of the pain caused from cartwheeling over a vehicle. Pain...Pain..
OpenMindOpenMouth
Sorry. I still wake up with flashbacks.
Aesandre1989
Only a jest. I barely remember anything from before, only waking up to my TCat lying on me after. Ride safe!
nursejr210
I never went over...I went through that bitch....yay for safety gear!!
Aesandre1989
Alas, rear ended twice and side-swiped by a silly kid. (Didn't look/signal). Yet to have a claim on my own insurance (exc stolen.) Ride safe
nursejr210
Sounds like you are Michael Jackson...RIP.... :)
