Here's one that made the headlines...
He's a magazine writer that must have had a bad day.
I wonder if he had to pay for the bike?

oh yeah, the saddle bag got hung up then popped off, sending our poor hapless rider over the edge...
The look on his face... too funny.
Hello... I just totaled the Yamaha...

How do you not know where your saddlebag is, geez! Wonder if the bike was new to him?

Yeah - he's one of those test riders for a french mag. He gets to ride new bikes and then writes a review about them. I have a funny feeling that he didn't give that Yamaha he wrecked a good review... THE BAGS ride too low for him -LOL :icon_laughing:

I wonder if the trext of the story was rewritten to reflect "How to ride a bike with 1 saddlebag." :icon_laughing:

Yeah the bags stick out too far too. :icon_laughing:

It looked like the bike may have ended up on top of him. He slammed into the pole hard from the sound of it.
