What a moron (and moron-ess). Were there any pictures of the aftermath? Not that I really wanna see a bunch of carnage but I would like to see how bad the bike faired...

God I do love to see Darwin work his magic. Just think, those two may have actually procreated at some point. With their obvious lack of cerebral prowess, imagine their offspring. But now, after all the skin grafts, stainless rod bone replacements and various other pieces of finely crafted metal being inserted into their bodies...they won't have the flexibility to do the deed.

With any luck the bike is totalled, so that idiot is never on the road near me. If that were my daughter....

:kck:

Ouch! Poor girl. Yeah I read how she had some responsibility about choosing to get on but I don't think a lot of pillions goin for a short casual ride give as much thought to crashing as many of us here do.
Bummer.

Another fine example of dumb ass behavior adding to the stats of motorcycle fatalities. I don't know about breeding license, but this is a fine example of the need for classified MC license for size of bike and experience here in the states.

Dad_, My daughter (Japawhat02's pillion rider) spotted everything that was incorrect/unsafe in the first two pics and when I scrolled up the third there was a hand over mouth "That's not good!".

She and my 'Goddaughter' have been schooled pretty hard about the dos-and-don'ts and understood how a pillion rider can upset the whole works, which is the consensus here as the most likely cause. The rider had his responsibilities also to ensure the pillion was schooled, properly dressed (how much is in that backpack, anyway?) and to ride under the different parameters a pillion requires. I have to wonder if the presence of a camera had him bend the bike a bit more than planned.

A speedy recovery to both.

That's gonna leave a mark!!! I hope she likes scars 'cause she just got a full set. Looks like the nut twisting the throttle open came loose.

Looks like the guy went in too hot...applied too much lean angle on cold tyres....hence front end fold wipe out..looks like a low side slide..left side of body for her= hamburger meat...The good thing is she probably didn't role..

He was left of the center line in the first pic, and the front end washed out right of the center line. Looks to me like he's another victim of the paint. Walk outside, run your finger over the paint on your house...now run it over your driveway. Paint...is....slick. I feel for her, as maybe she didn't know what he was intending. Still, a really stupid thing to do.
