Lock-up

Ok, So it wasn't the chain, and I think the wheel was turning after, so just a heavy boot?

Dunno, they both fell at the same point.. with the bikes locking in the same manner.. assuming the rear bike lost it braking to avoid the first, the first one broke for no apparent reason! He wasnt gaining that quickly on the bike in front..?

I think it's just the fuckwit factor in full effect.

Saying that i suppose fucknugget number one could have seen the camera, assumed it was a speed trap and panic broke. :smt017

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Well, let that be a lesson on the perils of riding a cruiser!

Even if you somehow lock the front wheel on a straight bit of road like that, how on earth do you then manage to throw it down the road?

They're not a stunt crew are they?

Could be, they were all doing it backwards at the end of the vid.
