Yea, but who here who's ever ridden a bike hasn't dumped at least once for an equally dumb reason? I never rode motorcycles but as a kid I wiped out a couple times when trying to exceed the basic mechanical capabilities of the particular bike I was riding.
The only diff between me and this guy is I learned my lesson as a kid doing 25 without a helmet on a $120 10-speed on the way to a babysitting job, and I spent the entire 8 hour job trying to hide a concussion from the kids and parents. I bet most of you guys taunting the guy in the pic have a similiar story. Sucks to learn it on an expensive toy like that for sure, but if you haven't learned that particular lesson yourself, it's just a matter of time.
Hell, I nearly drove a 55 mil F-15E into the dirt after a brake failure. The pics of that would definately have fit into the "priceless!" category, and only dumb luck kept me on the concrete. Tough to laugh at someone's mistake after narrowly avoiding 55 mil buyers remorse
Yea, IMHO if you bling up your bike so far that it won't turn anymore then you're asking for trouble, but it doesn't take much to go from hero to zero. To me, the funny part is that the pics ended up on the intarweb, not that he dumped. It's sort of like someone laughing at HT for getting his plane modded by the birdstrike...
