This video is another textbook example of how not to ride through turns. In fact, it could serve better the "How Not to Approach Turns" chapter of the How Not To motorcycle encyclopedia...
I could almost vouch that this fellow is a beginning rider, as his mistake is one of the errors new motorcyclists make very often: approaching a turn with too much speed, in the wrong part of the lane and failing to lean properly.
Ok, that's a 3-error combo, alright, but this is exactly how things happen when the going gets tough.
The fellow now probably knows it's no use leaning excessively though turns trying to put a knee down. As he doesn't seem to actually be able to ride safely through a casual bend, maybe this lesson learned the hard way will help him avoid such crashes in the future.
