It never gets old seeing riders unable to turn and spilling at the side of the road. And when nobody is hurt, save for bikes and egos, things can even look funny.
It's the case of this rider, who seems a bit reticent to lean more through the turns, despite the fact he's riding a street machine, and leaning on is is exactly what he is supposed to do. Add in a little bit of speed (just like most of us do, too), and the crash switches from "possible" to "probable".
As we watched this video several times, we believe he definitely could have made it safely through the turn, with just a little pinch on the brakes and leaning lower while keeping throttling.
Luckily, it seems like the crash was a light one, as the rider is already back on his/her feet. We guess the discussion went something like this: "Are you alright? Thanks goodness! Why won't you lean, dammit?"
