I watched that vid four times and he had a slight bit of rear wheel slippage, but I can see no reason why he should have gone off the road and crashed.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Agreed, head was turned, bike was still leaning a little but not as much as he probably should be, could he just have let off the gas too much?

Daydreaming and NOT looking where he wanted to go. He went where he was looking.

Maybe when it chirped, he let off the gas and looked at the side of the road where he thought it was going. And,,,,,,,,,,,,,sure enough, it went there.
I have a rule. When in doubt and it appears all is lost, add a little power and push it on over til you drag the handlebar grip. What the Hell, you were going to crash anyhow, so why not go for it. Thus far, that has worked every time and the bike has made a turn I didn't think it could.Earl

The ending looks about right except the bike went over me.

Looked to me like a novice rider who when starting to run wide (in his mind) looked up to see where he might potentially crash and in doing so stood the bike up (when he fixed on his target) and probably would have scored a bullseye if he hadn't washed out in the loose metal/dirt under brakes.

Glad you got away with only a few scratches, so to speak. This vid shows how when a rider loses concentration of the road in front of him, He is looking elsewhere and even nods at someone a half second before he goes down, it doesn't take much.

That video looks painful in so many ways.
