google searched it, looks like a lot of forums posted the link to the triumph site.
Someone on a Kawi forum seems to have made a gif of the photos, though I can't see the originals either, so I assume it' the one in question.

Set your bike free. If it comes back to you, you probably highsided.

Animated gif is cool, but does not show the denoument - standing, giving the thumbs up, decidedly not dead, and looking largely uninjured. I'm glad to see he was OK
Up until about picture nine, it looks like he was trying to pull off a trick, like kick-flipping his bike. I had a Thrasher Magazine pictorial flashback - BP knows what I'm talking about

Wow, that was crazy looking through the pics in the link!
I'm passing this one on.
You can see the white of his eyes as soon as the back end starts to fishtail!

But they're Sidi's. Doesn't that cancel out the white?

So, once he got the back end out like that, how could he have saved himself from high-siding?
There I go again, trying to make it all educational.
