beautiful video.. I would like to transform it like this too.. do you by any chance have the electrical devices for connecting the rev counter?

Glad you are recovering. I have a K1600GT. I assumed gravel in the road after watching your video. Take care and best of luck.

Need higher rpm in the throttle. Take it for a spin also.

New to your channel awesome video and bulid...

Is this true to size? Some online reviewer said it’s fits 1 size smaller

OMG. It's so painfull... Couple days ago my trip on K1600 GTL also ended with crash. In my case it was morning wet on the curve... But I'm ok. Will post video on my channel after will be back at home.

close your mouth when you chew!

what a boomer . your gear saved you a bit . glad you made it out .

Russell the bike sounds great. Looking forward to getting my Remus exhaust installed over the winter months here in Canada. A question for you though......how did you mount your guardian bell in that location on the bottom / rear of your saddlebag?

I’ve spent a lot of time traveling the country on a RT 1200 then a K1600. While the 1600 was the most comfortable of the two on highways, I always missed the RT. While watching your video I couldn’t help reflecting on how things can go wrong in an instant. Almost being hurt multiple times once women started texting put an end to my motorcycle days. I’ll always miss it though.

Somehow I’ve never spent time in Yosemite, but things like this 15:39 are so amazing. Another aspect of our planet. Sorry for the hard fall man! Happens quick! I once went down on a damp freeway on-ramp but that was a simple low side on an R1150R. Hope your recovery goes well. I once had to stay off the bike for about 5 months after mountain bike anterior dislocation of my left clavicle. It was just too sore to handle a bike. Take care in the meantime man! Dave in OC.

Time for Metzler's

Great video, glad you're okay and able to ride another day!

What an absolute a-hole of a state trooper. Didn't come to see if you were alright or needed any assistance at the hospital, just came for an easy ticket to write. You should also register a complaint to his department as he was not present to actually determine your speed at the time of the accident.

Cops go out of their way to demonstrate their ignorance and earn the hate. He sees nothing, hears nothing, smells nothing, but knows what happened. Don't even talk to them, they are worthless.

The way it looked on the turn was similar when your wheel grabs one of those Carolina tar snakes, I call them, that runs parallel with the wheel, especially a fresh one, they're sticky as all hell and grab the wheel, but I didnt see any on the slo-mo

i agree. Pirelli should drop those 2 parallel grooves on front tyre. I had the same issue driving across Europe and those grooves interferes with painted lines or grooves in the road itself and catch on to it... And sometimes it throws you off guard. I don't like the front tyre. Its a safety issue for me.

Thanks for posting park attractions and the road hazard and crash. I've been riding an '06 r1200rt with Kenda KM1 tires which stick like glue on clean pavement, but I'd guess would slide just as quick cornering on gravel sprinkles. Good luck on finding some rehab exercise routine. Canoe paddling for an hour is good for upper body and hand grip.

What was the cause of the wreck?

I usually brake before curves that look like they have some liquid spilled on them or variations in the color of the road. Next time, it's important to reduce speed a bit and avoid leaning the motorcycle too much. Good luck!

What a bummer man. And to have that cop give you a ticket is beyond shitty. Being that most of your injuries were in your chest area have you considered an airbag vest for future rides? I wear a Klim and it gives me some peace of mind.

Did you do a run with the db killers out only on 2 pipes not all 4? Just to see how the drone at speed changes?

Wow! That was a very spectacular crash! Yeah, I couldn't tell the gravel from the road as well. I'm glad you're ok and wish you a very speedy recovery. Hope you get back on two-wheels again soon. Any updates on the bike and what the insurance "man" has said?

28:53

Slip On or full?

Glad you’re ok brother. Was there something on the road or did it just shift in you?

Nice ride

Nice video

The video shows some fine grey gravel on your riding line. Your front tyre washed out on the gravel and then secured traction again once you cleared the gravel line, thus causing the mid corner tank slapper. Your speedo shows that your speed was fine for the conditions. It’s just one of those things, not much you can do about it. It looks like you may have instinctively grabbed a handful of front brake and if so, you might have stayed upright with more gentle break application but it’s difficult to be certain on that point. Well done for sharing the video - we can all learn from the accident.

Cool video. What make is the tinted front screen on your K1600b? Looks great.

cool video. What is the brand of tinted windshield are you using?

Cool scenery

Goddamn that came out of nowhere. Glad you are ok. What happened? Just too low of a corner and the peg dug in? Is the bike repaired? Hope you keep riding

Glad you’re OK. I also have a K1600B. I’m in Chehalis, WA. Always looking for a riding buddy. Reach out if you like.

Glad you’re ok. Gravel could get any of us. Protective gear did as much as it could. I’m on a Grand America and have lost the back tire a little on gravel, but never the front. It happens, and thats a rare recovery without a high side at speed.

Glad you’re ok, my mate did similar on his k1600 and has 7 broken ribs

nice trip!!

Thanks for share, good trip, good bike, California love ^^

AGAIN GREAT VIDEO !!!

Sorry ya had an off. Gear did well and saved you from really getting skinned up. Shoei helmet held up as well. Hope you're still on the mend. What month were you there? I ask as I'm planning on a trip out to that area this summer. Early June. TIA Take care!

Luv your videos. Hate that you wrecked.. hope you are doing good.. hope to see you riding one day.. stay safe brother

Way more than my touring Harley

Looks rad to

Fuggin sounds good

Great Video !!!

Very nice video. Maybe post another version at regular speed? Or maybe edit and play at normal speed? I'd like to see it all! Thanks!

Great music.. great video

Great video.. great music. Stay safe brother

Very cool video.. very pretty country

Great videos! I have traveled some of these roads a few times and never get tired of them. Thanks for sharing that awful crash and the aftermath. I sure hope you're healing quickly. Pretty sorry deed for the Trooper to write you a ticket. I don't see how this helped make the road safer for motorists. Happy Trails!
