He CRASHED on his FIRST Ride with his Giveaway Motorcycle...

[@yammienoob]

Okay! Looks like everyone is confused about wtf happened. Let me explain: Isaiah applied constant throttle into the corner and did not apply load into the front tire by trail braking. Constant throttle + adding lean angle + wet road = lack of traction. He could have fixed this by lightly rolling off the throttle, but by that point he kept applying throttle and the bike went down. **I was not speeding or riding aggressively** I told Isaiah before we went on this ride that it was wet and I was going to be riding 5mph under the speed limit at all times. I was extremely conscious to keep him safe but sometimes, it's out of my control. He is 100% okay and is super stoked he won the bike. He was a good sport! ALSO! I never forced Isaiah to do anything he wasn't comfortable with. We had a great day chatting about bikes, his plans with the Enfield, and more. He was okay with being on camera and he wanted to go ride!

[@hps1955]

I can tell by the video he was not riding aggressive he was taking it nice and slow and I totally agree with letting off the throttle but riding since 1985 and a motorcycle mechanic since 1990 if he had better tires it might not have happened. If the tires where replace from the factory tires I am totally wrong but if the factory tires are still on the motorcycle then the tires definitely played in to the bike going down. Motorcycle racers have raced in the rain with maximum lean angles and don't low side because they have good tires and better notorcycle engineering ergonomics.

Drill small holes for zip ties, and you can stitch that thing together. Paint it green and make it look like Frankenstein's monster and it looks like you did it on purpose.

[@Gismo3333]

You have to train on riding on gravel then. The bike is not suppose to kick out just because of gravel. That can happen if it is ice, but not gravel. It may have been braking that cased it. Maybe engine-braking. You have to brake very smooth and slow when you got less traction and lean into a corner. Both of them eating up the grip at the same time. But most of the time when the tires give out suddenly. It is because something abrupt happen. Slower and smoother on the clutch, throttle, brakes, steering, leaning… And it is always hard to know what happened after. At lest if you don't have video of it. And no matter how good you get at this, you need to be better and practice it every time you start riding. If not only for one or two minutes, when you leave your home down the street. Braking, counter-steering and being smooth on the controls. That is never a bad idea to start a ride. You also get your tires warmed up.

All this talk about rider error, physics, etc _ ALL BS. There is no way that tire should have lost grip at that speed with that lean angle.

[@mrmatt7210]

Wet weather tip: Typically an automobile will leak oil from the center of the vehicle and onto the middle of the lane which their driving upon. Over time, the middle of a lane of traffic can accumulate a good bit of oil which will lift up when saturated with a light rain. With this being said, the middle of your lane can provide the least amount of traction when experiencing a light rain. A heavy rain can be a blessing as the water can wash the oil off the road and improve your traction to some degree. Compound dealing with slick riding conditions ,new tires and a bike your not terribly familiar with and your chances of having a similar accident improves drastically.

[@roberthansen9876]

I don't know. The explanation makes sense I guess, he didn't let out the throttle, but he is also covering the brake. He seems to be too far outside in the turn, starts to tighten the turn, then the front tire loses traction and he turns even further then because of the loss of the road force pushing back. Is he sure he didn't brake somewhere in there? I don't know what his tires look like, but he wasn't really going that fast. I ride in the rain and haven't had issues, but I didn't think issues were only a few MPH away.:) But I instictively don't overload either tire. I.e. throttle + brake + lean.

Rookie mistake , if you want to dump your bike , ride mid - lane in rain ,taking a curve . That's where leaking cars and trucks deposit most of the oils . Try it some time , it really works ! Notice , the rider ahead hangs to right of center of lane .

Everyone: he did nothing wrong! His bars: pointing the wrong way. Countersteer. You’ll be fine.

Not sure about the stock Tires, i changed on my Inter650 to Bridgestone, they are more sticky. I drove 3 days trough the rain and had no problems

Good sport there. Glad y’all are both good. Beautiful bike!

[@niospartan]

Shoulda put some engine guards on it. RE has some nice sleek ones that don't stick out to far

[@olddirtbiker5088]

Might not want to ride your first ride in the rain. He was probably trying to keep up with Yammie and the tires were not quite right for the rain. Yammie should at least clean the bike up, buff it out and replace the grip and lever before shipping it back. He can afford it and it would be a nice gesture.

It looks like a counter steering mistake to me; he tried to turn his handlebars to the right on a right hand turn. He should have been pushing the right handle bar forward or away from him. If you want to turn right you have got to push the right handle bar forward and away from you; that will cause the bike to lean right. Anyway I'm glad he is OK.

[@jlrutube1312]

That isn't what happened.

[@crashcanyon2068]

@@jlrutube1312 Looks like it to me; he turned the handle bars to the right and down he went. You never turn the handle bars in the direction you want to go or you will go down. But you are welcome to your opinion, enjoy your day

[@Chompwat]

I’m with you on that buddy. Light front end due to acceleration, slippery road and turning in the direction of the bend instead of counter steering.

Just lowsided for the first time a couple weeks ago similar to edit: Isaiah. It's was quite a shock especially when you get up and your foot is facing the wrong direction. It can always be worse. Hopefully these moments humble us enough to inform and keep us alive.

[@mikebiggle4691]

He was riding in the center of the lane the entire ride. Not much lean angle. As the bars turned, the front tire just washed out. Stay in the left or right side of the lane. Get some premium tires. Glad he wasn't hurt bad.

[@mikekovacs8981]

kind of wonder if oil on the road was a factor. He was right in the middle of the lane. I went down once in a high traffic area where lots of cars sit and leak oil. Rain had just started and I was new and locked the front wheel and went down when the light changed red on me.

The stock tyres on these RE bikes are not great. Problem is that they are also slightly unusual sizes so options to upgrade them are limited.

[@RoellieV96]

Shit happens, no biggie. Ngl, accident definitely looked like a driver's mistake.

[@edep3970]

Looks like he started to get off line going towards the center of the lane. All ready leaned over let off the throttle and engine breaking made the back tire light plus the rain and oil built up in center of lane

tyres dangerous perilli phantom race slicks tyres on wet day

Both Isaiah and the Royal Enfield look nearly good as new, a little roughed up, but NOT bad at all. Way to break it in, buddy!
