Video. Track low side, rider walks off, bike is completely destroyed

I just can't imagine the forces that torn the bike in half, but yet the rider gets up fine. I guess if he was tumbling like the bike it would have been a different story. I'm sure he looks at this as a very bad day, in reality it's probably his luckiest.

I'd hit Triumph for warranty on that frame. :o

I'm always amazed at how those guys can get off at 100MPH++ and just slide it out and get right up and walk away like it's nuthin'.

I doubt any motorcycle manufacturer  warranties a frame for that kind of abuse ;)

You are so correct on the the 100mph++ walk-a-ways.  I had a friend go down at a recorded 148 mph.  He claims from 148 to about 70 was a breeze.  Then the friction started eating him up ;D

The rider was probably wondering who the other bike belonged to ???

Now is that why they call the engine a "stressed member?"    :o
