lol, the rider just gets up after finishing his slide and shrugs...meanwhile, the bike is still disassembling itself as a whirlygig of destruction. Damn

From a damage to the bike standpoint that's the third worst crash I've ever seen!
Let's see -- the 675 motor is a stressed member of the chassis, so when the chassis failed at the welds at the spar / rear plate junction the engine was left with all the loads on the mounts. Scratch the mounts on the head, and the lower case mounts as well. The cases twisting took out the trans and crank, and ... and ... maybe the front wheel is salvagable, and possibly the key. Past that it's Hinkley scrap.
I wonder if he's going to file a claim with his insurance company, and if so I hope they don't see the video!
Infinitely adjustable, made of the finest materials available, and completely sourced from local suppliers -- gotta support the local economy! Order today and know handlebar Nirvana.
Whew, that's just an example of the forces that play out during a crash, damned thing looks like it was glued together. I'm just glad it was the bike and not the other way around; could you imagine the bike just sliding to a stop and rider goes flipping and splitting into 2?
