I had to watch the crash a couple times. It all happened so quick and you really weren't going fast. I actually learned a lot from this Sam.👍🤘
It went down stupidly fast didn't it?! Thanks mate!
sorry, but what to learn about this?
Great to meet you on that day mate. Thanks for the stickers too! 💪 Sorry it was a horrendously expensive day for you! 😬 at least you weren’t hurt
Was great to finally meet you mate! Yeah 100% parts are replaceable!
Great to meet you on the day pal and glad you were okay! Those bars did a great job in saving the bike. See you on the next one 👍🏼
Great to meet you too bud! It was a great day out despite the obvious!
Sorry to hear about the off, man! That was a lesson to us all! It can happen very quickly! Glad you are OK though and the damage was not too bad. All the best
Thank you for the kind words mate!
The traction control of mine has saved me from this on few occasions.
There’s just too much crap on roads at this time of year. You’re very brave to be in rally mode with it TC set to 1. 😮😂
Haha yes! I've been saved a few times by it even on 1! I do wonder if it would have saved the crash if I had it up higher! It's basically been on 1 since I bought it 2 years ago 😂
@@SamVBikes Any particular reason why to have TC at lowest setting while street riding? Wheelie control tied to or separate from TC?
Wheelie control is tied to it yes! Got a background in motocross too so quite like a bit more movement beneath me... albeit not THAT much 😂
@@SamVBikes set it & forget it. Like everything else on these bikes 😂
Thanks for putting this up and sharing your experience. Seems like you may have given the throttle a little twist just as you were going around the corner and that took some weight off the front?
The throttle twist was because the bike slipped under me, and as my elbow was low due to cornering, it slipped down and pulled the throttle on. Definitely not on purpose!
Great to meet you on the day, shame about the off, missed a great 140 miles on Sunday!!
Yes! Great to meet you too mate! My Sunday plans mostly got cancelled too after a car puncture so I was tempted to come back haha
The TC was definitely a bit low for the fjord 😂 Nice save there 👍
😂😂 yeah just a tad! Although a few others said they slipped too so I don't feel as bad haha
Glad you and the bike are ok. Bro, what setting on your EzCan is that where your Denalis flash repeatedly when you start up the bike?
Thank you! They don't! It's just the camera frame rate which makes it looks like they flash. Point your phone camera at them, lower the exposure on the phone and they all do it!
Hey Sam glad to see yer all in one piece! Just got my 2023 1290 SAS here in USA 3 weeks ago. Any advice about the Conti's vs Road 6 and when is the video on bark busters coming out?!? Keep up the good work your videos helped push me towards this bike.... coming from s1000r. Mike D
Congratulations on the new bike!
If you want an only road tyre, I'd go for the Road 6. Contis are great but in the wet, the Road 6 can't be beaten!
Barkbusters vid is set to go live Wednesday next week!
Thank you! Safe ride
Great video. Nice to see I'm not the only one who had a slippery back end through a ford recently. Took my GSA on its longest ride through Devils staircase in Wales. Absolutely loved it. If you ever get a chance try it out. Glad you weren't hurt in the spill.
Haha! There were a few others on that ride that did too, but kept quiet about it 😂
That area is probably my favourite place in Wales. Cracking place!
Thank you!
That must be the most unfortunate low side I've seen in years. Really bad luck!
Definitely was! Truck covered the gravel until last minute! Happy I had the bars!!
Mate glad you’re ok. If you had your traction control set higher than 1 it probably would have saved you. You can hear you touched the throttle whilst going over the gravel.
Thanks! Yeah not sure if it would or not. Front slipped first then the rear followed so not sure if TC would have saved the front end. The throttle would have stopped with higher traction control though! We will never know haha
Exactly my thoughts too. Wonder if it would have helped on a higher traction control setting. Glad you are safe. Delighted with your cheerful spirit after that. Cheaper to replace broken bike parts than serious body injuries. Looking at the brighter side.
Yeah not sure but I don't want to try it again just in case 😂😂 yes bud! Glad no one was hurt!
Hey mate,
can i use this video in my new compilation?
credit in the description, comment & your channel name in compilation
Youra Very Lucky Man! i dont think I could have carried on as I'd have been more than cheesed off. Well done for that!
Very much so! Thank you
Glad you're ok. May I include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel
Thank you! Yes sure!
@@SamVBikes Thanks
Any news re damage and a walk round of the big , did you trousers and jacket hold out
Got a full breakdown vid coming soon! Just waiting for some repair parts to arrive so I can finish the vid! I came off VERY lightly. Jacket and Trousers were great.. Small scratch on my leg
Tough luck there mate, glad you’re OK though! I’m looking forward to the damage assessment video. I’m curious if the handlebars are bent.
Should be up mid week!
@@SamVBikes 😊👍🏻
Aw man that sucks, but hey, thanks for the demonstration of having proper gear on yourself and the bike😂. It really could have been much worse and glad you are okay.
Haha no problem! Market research is my strong point apparently!
Wow that was not how I saw that coming, but a definite advocate for gear and bars. Glad you were ok. Telling a story and laughing about it is what matters.
Ride safe, LJ
Haha too right! Came out of nowhere! Thank you
Hey man! May I use this video in my new video? Watermarked and linked to your channel of course!
Man, your attitude impresses me. Glad your ok.ATVB
Thank you bud!
Glad it’s not worse! I know a few very experienced riders who came off because of a patch of gravel on the road as well…
Thank you! Makes me feel a bit better 😂 It's crazy how quick it goes.. I do think most would struggle to save it. The only way would have been seeing it and avoiding!
Glad you are ok. would crash bobbins have saved the muffler?
Cheers bud! No I don't think so, the swingarm hasn't got a mark on it, so I think the only thing that would have save it would be pannier racks!
Glad you're okay bud, roads are a mess lately, good the bike isn't too banged up. Loved the vid, makes me realise I definitely need a KTM 🥲
Thank you mate! Yeah they aren't the best are they! Do it! I've heard they crash really well 😂
@@SamVBikes funny, cos that's my main criteria 🤣🤣🤣
Good morning, I looked and it looks like the curve was oil stain or patched. You could have taken picture to report bad tat there, right? . Greetings Pako
Hey Pako! It was thick gravel, but yes I will try to report it!
Hey, can i use this video in my new compilation? I will credit you with watermark ofc, Thx in advance
not you saying lethal drizzle right before the smack down LOL I'm so glad you're okay! :)
😂😂
Thank you!
Gutted for you re your pipe and bars- where did the ride take place ?
Definitely but all replaceable! It was over in Worcestershire so some lovely roads
Regarding that gravel crash. If you see the gravel coming up, is it better to hold or cut the throttle to coast, assuming you can’t brake beforehand?
On the road, with road tyres, do your best to avoid it. The front wheel is normally the problem because that sliding out from underneath you can't really be stopped. Rear wheel going through, I would say constant gentle throttle and no braking. If it was just my rear wheel going through I doubt I would have come off!
Nice crash. :) Never do a bigger one. But why do you blur the all screen when you speeding instead of just the speedo? :)
Haha ill try!
Mainly because editing takes far longer when you have to track the blur to the screens. Plus the speed can still be calculated by camera frame rate, and the scenery passing!
Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel).
Hey Guy, is it OK to feature your clip in a moto edit some time soon? It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name watermarked on the clip. Thanks
What year is your SAS?
2021 bud!
Good effort Sam. I had to watch several times.... just as the car passed over the gravel you were on it..... No time to avoid.......Good gear works every time!
Thanks bud. Yeah I've watched a number of times, frame by frame at points to try to work out If I could have saved it. Besides being further back, it was pretty inevitable. Happy for the gear!
Sorry for your crash, glad you’re okay.
Thank you!
Shame about the off mate.
Just wondering, would the bike saved it's self, if it wasn't in rally mode?
Not sure bud. The front end slipped first so I don't think any traction control would save that. My arm dropped and opened the throttle which span the rear wheel up more, so it might have saved that. Even in TC1, the bike has saved the more extreme slides, on and off road, so I'm not sure.
Was really thick gravel about 2ft across the road
Hello! Would it be okay to use it in moto edit? Full credited of course
Hey! Yeah sure!
@@SamVBikes Thanks a lot :)
Hey Sam, could I use this in a video on my channel please? I will credit it to you and link to your channel. Thank you
OMG new exhaust. How long have you had it ? Just the norm but just do not have posh end can's. Good video though.
Haha yeah I got another from an owners group on Facebook for a half decent price. Such a shame it got ruined
I was just thinking to myself that with your luck I would have walked it through that ford and you accelerate into it and nearly loose it again. Obviously just to make the video better viewing. Hooked can not wait for the next one.
😂😂 not the best idea! Haha thanks
You took that like an absolute champ mate! Gutted for you(r Arrow exhaust) though. Motorbikes are dangerous though and I must now sell mine.
Might get a GS instead.
😂😂 yeah we should do 1000 advanced rider quals which will definitely mean I never crash again!
@@SamVBikes A kevlar polite vest would've kept you upright m8
And more dick lights... more and more of them
I was going to come on this but couldn’t make it Was you still on the trail attack 3’s Sam? Ironic your last video was saying you can just fly over any bit of muck in the road 😂 glad your ok mate
Yes mate still on the TA3's. I think I'd have only saved that if I was on proper knobblies! Thank you mate!
Glad you're okay and the bike held up well. Living proof that crash protection and decent kit is important 👍
Thank you mate! Yes 100%. So glad I took the time and money to get the right stuff!
@@SamVBikes it didn't seem to slow you down much though and you kept laughing. You was in my neck of the woods for this trip, summer evening after work territory for me, fantastic 👍
Fantastic place bud! I'll head back over at some point and drop you a line for a coffee!
@@SamVBikes great, I look forward to meeting up. I had an anus clenching moment on the local gravel a few years ago too, thankfully the back end went out and regained traction before going too far. The roads were familiar but I couldn't place them as the scenery went by too quickly 😂 where did the route take you?
Glad you're okay bro! May I use this video in my new episode? Full Credited of course
Thank you! Yeah of course!
@@SamVBikes Thank you!
Ich hoffe das es Dir und dem Bike gut geht. Warum fährst Du im Rallyemode, mit eingestellter Stufe 1! (Kleinstmögliche Stufe für Sand, Schotter, Schlamm)?
Gib der Elektronik eine Chance, Dir zu helfen. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland und allzeit gute Fahrt
Ralf
Worked out alright i suppose, if it was any other type of bike itd been mangled. Amazing how far you and the bike traveled along the floor when looking at the skids. Glad you come away ok
Had something similar happen to me the crash bars are a god send.
Glad you and the bike was ok.
Happy days 😎👍
Thank you mate! You're right, I'd have been a lost worse off without the bars
Damn son, looked a sore one. Glad you walked away. Love those bars.
Sorry to see you crashed. I did have a crash myself two months ago where the road was suddenly iced up. No physical damage, just feeling like a d..k. When I was back home in the evening I started to feel "the landing spot". My lucky part was that icy roads make bikes slide easily so damage was not to bad.
Happy to see you were ok. Also when you got back home?
I presume you have some content coming about the aftermath now😉?
Sorry to hear of your crash too! Glad the bike wasn't damaged!
Haha yes video coming of the aftermath! I'm all okay and spare parts on the way! I basically only had a bruise on my leg for a few days but I'm fine otherwise!
@@SamVBikes Good to hear Sam, looking forward to the next upload as usual!
Thank you mate 🙌🏼💪🏼
Glad you’re ok, just a few scratches and not even a bruised ego :-) Any lessons learned?
P.S. I’d hoped that all that tech would save the slide. Do you know which mode / MTC / MSC settings you were in?
Cheers!
The crash on the gravel wasn't saveable I don't think, in that situation anyway. Could have held back from the truck a bit more though, and would have seen it sooner to avoid it. The river crossing... well that was just stupid accelerating at the bottom 😂
I was in Rally mode, with the traction control on minimum so that may have saved me too!
But yes, all okay!
so if you had traction on a higher level maybe the bike would have saved you?
Not sure if it would have saved it, but would have stopped the wheel spinning up and possibly helped. The gravel was very deep so only a knobbly tyre would have had a chance. The front dropped out so I doubt any traction control would have saved it
@@SamVBikes gotcha, sorry for the fallx at least you and the bike is goodz i saw only damage to the exhuast which is painfull but the bara saved the bike which i think is more important.
Yes I'm very happy I had the bars!! They saved so much more damage!
I think a lot of people, well me, would be interested to see how the outback crash bars fared. What did you do to them after and how do they look now. Just a thought.
There's an update video later on the channel! The bars did incredibly well!
Hey Sam you and your low side has made it onto the latest moto stars crash compilations
Damn bro, that was nasty 😬. Good to see your ok 👌🏾. Crash bars sure did his job 🙏🏾 . Ps. Pannier rack to protect your next exhaust and they
come in black 2 😅.
Haha! About 2 weeks ago I nearly bought the Outback Motortek Pannier racks.. but though nahhh that's needless spending 😂😂
@@SamVBikes dude no 😱🤦🏾♂️
😂
😂😂
You'd never know you enjoyed your day so much 🤪🤪 what a blast it was
😂😂
Didn't you recently remove all throttle freeplay, looking like slight throttle increase and no traction control,glad you're ok
The front slipped out on the gravel first, and with my elbow down already, that caused the throttle increase, which then span the rear wheel up. Thanks!
Wow...
So sorry, how could it happen?
I didn't see any debris or oil and you was pretty slow in a easy curve... 😢😢
It was thick gravel on the corner! If you play it slowly you will see the dark patch from under the truck! Happened so fast
Oh s**t gutted for you mate. Glad your ok though. I do remember when 44teeth was with white dalton and they done a bit on gravel ? Check it out fingers crossed you can claim that back on the council 🤷🏻♂️. Fingers crossed for you mate 👍.
Yeah mate I think it was! I'm gonna try to claim on the council but I'm not hugely confident I'll get much out of it!
@@SamVBikes maybe it could be long winded but least you might not be out of pocket ? You have it on camera. Maybe only show them that bit 🤣🤣. An in another way the rebuild makes good content 👍.
Yeah I won't show them the bit running up to the crash... just the sedate part 😂😂
Yes! Got parts on the way.. got to love that unexpected free content. Free being an expensive word there ha
@@SamVBikes haha. Yeah you not wrong there mate. Glad your ok though mate 👍.
Was it gravel, looked like oil or mud on the vid (but it's dark and I'm tired from riding all weekend so I dunno 😅)
Interestingly, the upper crash bar looks useless in this type of slide. I guess I wont be upgrading from oem on my 2023 SAS for now.
Yeah I assume they would only be useful in a high side! But very impressed with them
@@SamVBikes Bummer for the crash, kudos on your attitude after. Class. Did the frame suffer any damage ( dent marks )at the point where the bars mount?
Thanks bud! Nope I replaced the crash bars last weekend and it doesn't seem to have any damage at all! Frame seems in tact, the crash bars seem in tact besides the obvious. Very surprising how well they performed
Happens to the best of us Sam. Glad the gear protection did what it was supposed to do (Bike & you) so was money well spent. And now you can spend some more! :-)
Haha too right! Get to spend more money on upgrading bits I definitely need 😂
Glad you ok! That was a slide not a crash you very lucky you never hit anything, Good video 👍
Thank you!
Glad your all good and always the exhaust side that goes down
that rear end just went out
Get back on the Michelins 6
True rider get back on and give it some love it
Haha yes my beloved Road 6s!!
Wow, a lesson for all of us to watch out for the crap on the roads. Exhausts, crash bars can all be replaced and looked to be superficial damage. You can’t be replaced and well done for getting up and carrying on. The biggest injury was probably your pride! 👍
Definitely! I came off lightly and you're right, all parts can be replaced. Super happy I had good gear on!
Fair play to you for staying so positive, these things happen! Wings exhaust looks like a worthy replacement!!
Yeah bud thats it. The truck covering it didn't help so I'd like to think I'd have missed it without that but can't be too annoyed! Happy the gear did its job and happy it was slow speed!
Haha it could be!
Looks like you had a great day bud. I wonder what group you was in 🤔 That’s water crossing… my arse nearly dropped out 😂
😂😂 yeah the water crossing was hilarious! A few others have messaged saying they slipped out too so I feel less useless haha
@@SamVBikes I bet yours was the worse one 😂 did you think you was your brother drifting 😂
Yeah I watched Tokyo Drift the night before, then got jealous of the bro, and had to give it a shot 😂😂😂
I was hoping it was an April fool’s joke, but glad you’re ok ✌️
Haha would have been cheaper if it was! Thank you bud
Ooof. Unlucky to have one crash, and lucky to avoid another!
Haha yeah very true!
I'm sorry about your crash Sam. I'm glad you're ok. You run in Rally mode to wheelie but you have no wheel spin control that way and the KTM 1290 motor is too powerful. Too risky?
Thank you! The bike still saves most of the slides even on TC1. Its still on but just less intrusive. I dont think any amount of traction control would have saved that as the gravel was so thick
@@SamVBikes Thank you for taking time to read my comment. I have to thank you Sam, for your channel and adventures, as I purchased a new 1290 SAS (my 22nd bike) after watching your videos. I never new I was a KTM Boy!
I have just experienced myself a rear slide while commuting to work on a mini roundabout. I inadvertently changed the engine map without knowing (probably by flicking C1 or probably I forgot to reverse to street mode while still learning to navigate the system). I've had a few moments over the last 25 years, especially with the Tuono V2, and other bikes too. The 1290 torque is too much for the mighty Mitas 🙂 Is there a way to have the Anti-Wheelie Control off while still having full Anti-Wheel Spin on? I would prefer if KTM had a direct proprietary buttons for engine maps and ABS.
You did handle your spill with grace and panache Sam, I give you that.
Keep smiling and laughing Sam, brilliant 🙂. Thanks again
You're more than welcome! Congratulations on the new bike too!
I dont think there is a way to turn the wheelie control and slide control off/on separately unfortunately but I find in TC4, the bike will still wheelie without the back sliding too much!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
It was a great couple of days.. “it even crashes nicely” 😂
😂😂 Best bike in the world ha! Great to finally meet you mate
Love that you can always laugh Sam. Glad you’re ok and thanks for putting up this vid which definitely reminds the rest of us to watch out for how sh!t our roads in the U.K. are 😉
Thank you bud. Got to laugh about these things otherwise you'll cry haha
Well that was an odd one, just bad luck Glad your ok 👍
Thank you! Yeah just disappeared from under me!
What was that you were saying.. Oops... You'll be fine Sam s*** happens buddy 👍
Crash bars did a great job ❤
Haha yeah it does! Never mind!
You did the best thing and got straight back on the horse pal. Save the exhaust and bars for when you take a trip out on the green lanes and you can be sure you’ll never come off again. Only shiny things get bent 😉
Yes definitely! Always good to get back on! Hoping I'll have a new set of bars in the post!
Road surface and conditions inspections don't need to be done from quite so close up. But fair play to you for your commitment too them 😛
😂😂
I hit gravel on a bend last year doing 60 on my SAS. The front tyre slid sideways to the nearside about a foot but it was in the heatwave, the roads were super hot and my tyres were super hot so my front tyre regained traction as it slid off the gravel. Very lucky. Could have been horrible, fence and hedgerow to left, traffic oncoming... Anyway I stopped at a cafe 5 mins later and grabbed a coffee to recompose myself and let the adrenaline dissipate. Lateral washouts happen so quick you just don't see it coming. I'm extra vigilant about gravel on bends now. Good that you were not hurt.
Ahh that was really lucky! Glad you managed to regain traction! Too right, they are so quick to happen!
Sunday bedtime viewage... I have properly got an adrenaline rush watching this.. Gutted mate, I mean in terms of 'content' it's great 😂 glad you're ok. Sorry about the punishment on the wallet already!
I'm happy this has become your routine 😂
Yeah the click bait seems to be working so far! Although I'm getting told how useless and wrong I am by many people which makes me feel like I'm in detention at school haha!
Hey, no one told me there was a KTM group I could apply to ¬_¬ Re the crash... unlucky bud 😕 handlebar is bent?
Haha there are a few UK groups now! All on FB. Surprisingly the bars don't seem to be bent. Going to get measuring and replace them if needed
Do a vid on how to check the bars pls bud, we've all done this and I never how to check if they're bent and end up replacing them just to be safe 😂
Haha! Yes I've done the same before! But they are so expensive these days!
Glad you're okay dude. So much shit on the roads at the moment.
Thank you mate!
TC completely off?
Nope just turned down low which probably didn't help
Oh no 😞 That was a bit of bad luck Sam and not the riding-like-a-knob scenario I expected.
Haha yeah! I fully expected it to happen when I was riding quicker, but glad it wasn't!
its a wierd feeling watching knowing whats going to happen just dont know when. good was only superficial damaged and no harm to yourself ofcourse. good advert for the crash bars hope they send you a new set gratis 😄
Haha! I didn't think about that! Sorry for the minutes of trepidation!
Haha so do I! I think it may be happening! Wonder if Arrow will do the same 😂
@@SamVBikes thats awesome 🤞
Brilliant day out. We were the only two up bike but held our own!!
You did really well to keep up! Kudos to you for that!
dude! damn! that happened quick!! glad your good to go except for the ego lol i contacted those guys before to see if they were gonna make bars for the panam and they said no, i was kinda disappointed......AltRider is developing some though......look like you might hit your throttle in that turn also, wel i will say you sold me on barkbusters!....man, shit can happen so quick!!! again, glad your good to go! sláinte
Yeah it went down so fast! But so happy I have the protection on the bike! The throttle pull was because my elbow was low, so when the bike slipped my weight went down onto my elbow. Should have had the arm slightly to the right so it didn't drop and roll on!
@@SamVBikes gotcha...your smart and wear gear, i started wearing good gear last year...i'd love to ride one of those KTM's but I'm vertically challnged lol I would have felt the same way about the exhaust!
Slippery roads are a killer.. been through that a couple of times..
Pick your line left or right car tyre track. Can’t go in the middle if not gravel could be leaves or oil. I had the thing but regained the rear end sending me down a gravel road luckily it want a bush. Glad you’re ok. Lesson learned 🍻
Oddly enough, from what I can see from videos and tutorials I've seen, most of the advanced riding course teach you to cross from the outside to inside, or vice versa, when you can see the exit of the corner.. meaning if I was riding in either track, following their guidance, I'd have been in the same position. But yes like you say, all okay and keep an eye out further up the road in future
It was bad luck but i am happy that you have nothing and minor damages to the bike Little paint work will shine your bars again Wing exhaust alternative will be a great idea.
Thank you! Yes it could be the replacement If I can't get mine repaired!
It actually made me jump when you went down glad everything is reasonably ok 👍
Haha You and me both! Thank you
Fek all you could have done about that mate. Love the video as always. On wards and upwards
Thank you bud! Yeah it was a bit of a shock considering the amount we throw our bikes around off road etc but damage can be repaired and noone was hurt so all good!
Glad alls ok Sam metal stuff can be replaced blood bits not so easy.
Yes bud! At least no one was hurt!
Rally mode traction control dialled right down to 1 then powering out the bend in drizzle that all adds up to what happened sad to say
Front slipped out first which wouldn't have been saved by traction. Rear spinning up would have stopped it, but I didn't power out the corner, that was the slip that caused the elbow to fall and power to be put on
Parts can be replaced its just stuff, glad you're ok thats the main thing.
Definitely mate! Glad no one got hurt
Glad your ok brother. Material things are replaceable.
Thank you mate!
I was tense watching this video knowing what was going to happen...
...saying "Lethal Drizzle" into the corner immediately disarmed my tension! 😂😂
Pleased you are ok is the main thing.
😂😂😂 The famous noughties rapper Lethal Drizzle haha!
Yeah so am I mate! Parts can be replaced! Pride... that might take a while to come back 😂
@@SamVBikes it's almost as if what you'd need to get your pride back is 250+ miles on a brand new bike over some winding passes etc... 🤔🤔😁
Then lose it all again sitting at 56mph in the pissing rain trying to slipstream a lorry for hours on end 😂😂😂
@@SamVBikes Pride always comes before a fall. I'd say leave the pride at home, especially venturing out into the clown world we live in..
"Aint nobody got time fo dat!"
Pannier frames would have saved the day...or at least the exhaust!
I was looking at getting some of the Outback Motortek ones a few weeks ago, but thought it was unnecessary spending 😂
From camera view that looked like an oil spill with a little bit of drizzle on top. A story with happy ending is always remembered best.
Yeah very true! It was really thick gravel that must have come off the back of a truck!
Outback motortek crash bars probably some of best on market,been looking at these for my 1290s….£800 for upper & lower,but looking at your bike probably worth every penny,shame about the Arrow though😢😃
Too right! They are worth their weight in gold! So happy I invested in them!
The rally mode let's the back wheel spin up Sam
Yes bud, which is probably why it span in the gravel. Don't think it would have stopped the front slipping out though!
Bugger…..glad you’re ok though, that’s the most important thing.
Definitely bud, no one was hurt which is the main thing
I threw a brand new 2 day old suzuki bandit down the road some years ago.a mate told me I had to be 'zen' about these things.coz some times shit happens and at least we are ok.
Sucks doesn't it! Best way to be about things.. you'll end up causing more damage if you stay annoyed about it
Single handedly sold me on those crash bars and maybe the wings. I like the dominator too. But know nothing about the brand.
Haha! I'm so happy I invested in those bars! I've just found out the Wings doesn't have an E mark on it so not legal on the roads in the EU... so I might have to stick with Arrow
As far as crashes go, that could have been so much worse. Also, I'm now buying crash bars.
Definitely could! Got away very lightly!
