We know motorcycle parades are always fun and people tend to relax, but this video is the perfect proof showing that things can go wrong even at low speed.
The key ingredient for a wipeout is the lack of awareness and we believe the rider was simply not paying enough attention to what was happening in the line ahead.
Then there's the fact that some riders are not very good at holding the clutch pulled as they rev up their engines and sometimes the bikes can pick up speed due to the clutch engaging just a bit. Add in the close distance between the bikes and the lack of space for evasive maneuvers, and there you go, trouble in paradise. They probably settled the problem over a keg of German beer during the evening.
