great moment-by-moment shots of a highside.. gives me flashbacks  :o

Grampa

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Some people call 911..... some people are 911

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.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

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  [thumbsup]

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  :P

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?

A Wilhelm scream would absolutely make that gif.

Autostrada Pilot

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.
