Is that your bike off to the side?
Why did you choose the gravel?

Didn't want someone to target fixate themselves into my bike or if they needed to use the pull off.
We were up ontop of the hill where someone built a bench in memorial to someone out of sight.

He wasn't just "off", he was literally shaky. As if he'd never ridden before.
Right? Something was up with that left turn before the left turn he crashed on. I saw it and thought "He must go down right after this." but no. Buddy did the right turn after just fine... until he went left the next time, woosh! Wtf?

So all MaxWrist haters - rejoice!
In his VERY LAST video he posted his OWN lowside crash, happened about 3 weeks ago so we knew, and saw others Gap regulars' videos, but this one he himself breaks down everything - pretty interesting - shows you that even advanced BMW traction control can't save you from:
a) cold dump-ish surface
b) worn-out tire
and (most important factor IMHO)
c) his own ego to always be first
He's back on the road and the new fairings are sponsored and coming soon so no harm LOL

Does anyone know what happened to this guy? Surely the police got involved, I mean he shows his face after willfully endangering the lives of many people. He was simply murderous so was he found, charged, and jailed?
Anyone knows what happened?
I scratched a peg two up on a GoldWing doing the Gap and never landed in the ditch. Just don't ride beyond your level.
You'll be pleased to know he was found, charged and sent to the guillotine.
Roads everywhere are safe now.
POV GoPro footage from the guillotine blade or it didn't happen.

Did it in 2018. Nice road. If people would just ride within their limits........
Chiming in to say that my own trip some hmmm years ago to the Dragon was wonderful, the only stressor was worrying about running into a cop in a bad mood. I did run into A cop at one point, and we both knew I was speeding, but he just waved me by. I did not run into a single motorist making my life difficult on the Dragon or in the vicinity (outside of the area I ran into some mentally unstable drivers, but our meeting was brief)

The left hand turn before has a section of pavement on the right tire track that has caved in causing a change in camber on entry. You have to either stay close to the yellow line, compromising entry, or be light in your seat and trust your suspension.
I'm looking forward to the repaving next year cause there's a few sections of the road like that now.
I admit watching them. Moro madness and other similars as well.
I can’t help myself. Schadenfreude.
It just means that you value your life more, which is always a good thing.

Guy went to clear the debris off the road before checking out his bike thoroughly. I don't know anything about him, but my respect for that. Classy move.
Also just want to add I love how simple but effective his editing is.

I have seen a lot of his videos. Why do I feel he does it on purpose. Puts himself into a situation where he most likely will crash, and gain online attention. Some of his crashes were outright horrific. I remember one when he crashed into a crash barrier at high speed and was flung over into a ditch. Was airlifted.
A lot of v loggers do this. Instead of braking or not being a dumb-dumb, they'll purposely either put themselves in harms way, or not remove themselves from harms way, just so they can rev bomb, punch a drivers side window, and then speed off.
Riding safely generally means riding uneventfully, and that is not interesting.
