Darwin missed. RIP bike.

Idiot on so many levels.

Facing a bunch of people and their bikes/cars. Skid marks on the concrete.



I mean, in my dumber motorcycling days we did plenty of stupid stuff, but the rule is you endanger yourself and not anyone around you.

I had mixed emotions watching the bike fall in the pool. Sort of like putting a poor hurt animal out of its misery.

Thank you, that made my day.

My goodness.

So many dude bros. That bike must have done something truly awful in a past like to get karma like that.

Meh thats nothing. I drove a brand new F350 in a river once. New engine and tranny cost more than that whole bike which prolly only needs new pistons.

can the bike be salvaged? how much $$ to fix it?

Im guessing the aesthetic fairing is going to cost some coin more than the internals. Probably more than my entire Suzuki is worth.

Exactly what I was wondering.

Meh, it'll be fine. Just let it dry out.

Depends how much water it took in engine while running. water doesnt compress and bends pistons rods and maybe even crank while running. I done this before sadly.

Not to mention the electronics, battery and the plastics.

Probably made a nice mess of the pool too.

This is why you leave partying to the professionals. In 1981, I drew straws with my two roommates to see who'd jump their bike over the pool at our 4th of July party. My roommate won and I prepped the pool by pouring 5 gallons of everclear on the surface while my other roommate set up a small ramp. I then lit the pool and the roommate who lost/won? made a clean jump over the pool before side slapping the wood privacy fence. A little bruised but no damage to the bike or pool. Unfortunately the pics didn't capture the flamage as well as the eye.

I'll ask what I asked when I saw this on another forum (a bike forum):
What kind of party was that? It looks like it has sponsors.

Anyway, here's a much longer version where the dude puts a SECOND bike into the pool:

Wow he almost hits the dude in the pool with the 2nd one. Darwin must have taken vacation.

You are my hero.

How bad is hydrolocking with motorcycle engines? I would think much less mass would help... but then the RPM is higher than, say, a V6.

It was clearly used as a stunt bike so it was worthless to begin with. No great loss.

 

[Hugo Drax]

It looks staged. no one really seems upset. Remember just because its on the internet, does not make it true.

 

[cbrsurfr]

That guy is a professional stunt rider. He's got more money than all of ATOT combined. No big loss for him. Probably staged for publicity anyway.
