I guess that's one way to do it!


I always thought that falling off one's motorcycle in the middle of a race meant that one's race was over.  Apparently I was wrong.




Er . . . OK, I guess!

Yep, that is a weird one... That bike 'should' have dumped...

Not really. Straight line stability varies from model to model, but all will self steer until the speed drops below a certain point for that version.

A lot of racing bikes are set with a high idle speed, also for several reasons. If done on this bike, it will go until it impacts an object, or runs dry. If the track has an angle (cant or camber) in a corner, it will try to follow that to some extent. Could go quite a ways!

Not the first time I've seen this happen. Hilarious to watch in person, as long as no injuries. Never did it myself...
