Easy on the throttle

Rode to work this morning, so you get a motorcycle video with your breakfast.

This is an innocuous-looking video, right up until the part where he gets aggressive with the throttle and high-sides. Rider position is poor, so the bike is leaned over a lot more than it needs to be. The rider should be hanging further off the bike, enabling the bike to stand up straighter and moving the lateral push on the tire contact patch closer to the middle, instead of the edge. I don't know if that would have made much difference here. Jerky throttle inputs have a way of spraying bike parts.

Not sure that I would wear my timberlands for a canyon ride. Mostly because I don't own a pair, but also because I'm not sure they would provide very good feel on the bike.

Pay attention to his right wrist in the slow-motion part; see where he cranks the throttle open? It doesn't look like much, but that's what causes the accident. Before that the bike is holding the (poorly chosen) line. Rider is fine. Bike needs some work.
