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.

[@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.

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. There are two feasible causes: rider hit an oil spot or something on the road that tucked the front; or 2. tires were scorched on the edges from track day abuse. Either way, if this were rider error, millions of motorcyclists across America would be dead already.

[@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. Just seems like the tires on that bike were not made for rain at all.

And, towards the elevation peaks, guess what? Yea, you got it, snow. And me riding a 165HP 25,000 dollar motorcycle that, when the snow hit, might have had 35 miles on the odometer. I made it, but it was SLOW going. Yes, that's me, riding a motorcycle that can do 186MPH at 10MPH in a sweeper. Deal with it. First rule, forget what other people think.

Great stuff, he took it like a champ.

[@gabrieltiso8537]

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.

[@theodorecalkins4212]

That sucks. Good luck with future rides. I live the sound of those engines.

[@poz6294]

Props to Isaiah for jumping on the camera for a debrief after. Good character

[@Space_Pilgrim]

Its crazy how much more comfortable he sounds when hes on the bike versus being interviewed in front of cameras. To bad the vlogging is what distracted him and caused this.

[@bobbyjoesugar]

Dang- that’s hard luck, but at least his bike is ok and more importantly Issaiah is ok! He is a really good sport

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

S*/t Happens .. as long as the rider are all right , get up and move on! It can be fixed ...

[@rs660alec]

Yam was on the RSV4 electronics galore that was so unfair lol poor guy

[@BofusTeefus]

That could be any of us. Gotta feel for the guy.

[@DeusExHonda]

Them rain clibbins were in the road! Haddalayerdown.

[@cobenblack1876]

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

[@filiprangus5826]

I really missed a breakdown of how it happened, cause honestly it shattered my confidence a little

[@quackatit]

When it rains you should take the inside lane so the bike leans less.

[@dgphi]

@@quackatit Huh? A tighter turn will require more lean angle.

[@quackatit]

@@dgphi you can look up a KZbin video explaining the lanes/lines

[@dgphi]

@@quackatit You can look up an article on motorcycle physics. Lean angle is a function of speed and turn radius. The higher the speed and/or the tighter the turn, the greater the lean angle.

[@quackatit]

@@dgphi did you watch video about it?

[@imaginedgold2704]

Couldn't be me idk why so many rider don't treat their bike like it's their gf give it love man . Start slow learn each other and when you comfortable still learn more

[@catfunt5583]

They were going 5 under the limit

[@pogo1140]

Noraly aka Itchyboots had an RE that she rode from Asia to Europe, I think she added some stuff to protect the motor and her legs. Otherwise it did ok
