- Guy drops his Harley with his wife on the back trying to turn around on Main St. They seemed fine as I drove by haha. Another quick morning ride around 11am on Day 4.
Never laugh at someone falling off their bike. It could be you next.
Most definately. It's not if you put it down, it is when you put it down. Not one person riding, at least with any years on em can say they never put one down. As soon as you say that you are going down!!
Maybe but don't mean it ain't funny 🤣
Well said brother, and so true. No need for anyone having bad karma on top of that.
@@mariocooldude9092 i chuckled but when i dropped my shit before i laughed about too lol
@@trippontwowheels If karma was real you wouldn’t exist. Lol
if you can say you haven't dropped your bike you don't ride enough
Took an advanced rider class. 12 people, including 1 motorcycle cop, 7 instructors. 7 drops over the weekend. I had one. One guy had 2 AND dropped his bike into another persons bike.
10:32 Happens to everyone. Ride safe.
Like they always say.Two types of bikers.Ones that have been down and ones that are going down.Shit happens!
I had a pair of ripped jeans get caught and hung up in my shifter one time. I was riding down the road trying to unloop it or rip it off, but neither happened. When I finally stopped I tried to “unhook” myself, lost my balance and over I went haha. I’ve been lucky so far other than that.
Not even gonna poke fun at that or else I'm next. We've all dropped or at least had a near miss or 2 or 20. Haha.
Great video John thank you. I'm 59 now and waiting on Amazon for my new spinal column. No joke staying fit is key. Drugs only get you so far and mask the symptoms. Exercise really does matter. Thanks for the great tip. Lower back and neck are my problems. Keep up the amazing content. And thanks again.
I bet he hit the front brake with the bike turned. At very slow speed that is a sure way to end up on the ground.
I can confirm... did exactly that pulling in the the parking lot at Thrashin Supply in Canoga Park, CA at their shop on my Sport Glide. First time down with a slow to no speed drop on the mustache bar, I just set it down, clutch in, motor running. Not if, but when will it happen to you.
Time stamp is 10:33 for the riders that fell. Glad they weren't at speed.
Thanks for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories from 2010 when I was living in Daytona. Rode these same streets every day for almost a year before moving back home. Haven't been back to bike week since. Life gets in the way sometimes.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice of you to stop and help.
Karma.
Hell's Bell's, I dumped mine in my own garage. Thought the kick stand was all the way down, but wasn't. Life happens. I hope nothing hurt but his pride.
Hell's Bell's is right lol.
Back in 2016 I bought a brand new 16 sgs , within the first week I backed up to a curb and thought I put the stand down all the way but didn't and down she went. Didn't hurt the bike just my pride. Thank God my wife wasn't with me at the time.
I'm not afraid to admit it either.
Ride safe brother !
I've done the same with my wife in the bike. Parked my bike, thought the kickstand was down and before I knew it she was down (not talking about the bike)
Same here and it dropped into my other bike luckily no serious damage
@@jackmehoff5523 yep bent a mirror doing same...some straps and the trusty come-along saved the day..
Did it at the gas station because I wasn’t paying attention. Too busy talking to a young lady. Luckily she was on other side of pump and I got bike backup before she noticed.
must admit that I was watching more to see what he picked up first 👍. we have all dropped a bike, but to do it in front of a bike week crowd hopefully no damage. and the wife is ok. ❤
Bike turned to the left, he hit the brakes, leaned the bike to the left, and she started hopping off to the left. Timberrrrrrrrr! Should have swung it more then straightened and stopped. Then let her get off. With the bike turned in on itself and leaning in on that turn in, it's the shortest, quickest path to the ground. Have had it near happen to me a few times over the decades.
That poor guy that’s got to be embarrassing to drop your bike in front of a bunch of bikers at Daytona
He looked extremely embarrassed. Poor fella!
Id go kill myself if it happened to me 😅
Thanks to the Homo on wheels, he now has 45,000 people watching him do it.
40,000 of them never rode 2 up on a Harley and 44,000 of them have never had to do it on Main St in Daytona !
@@kurtfoulke5130 And you point is what? If you do something funny, stupid, tragic or bad in public this day and time, it will likely be on someone's cell phone.
@@carlgriffith4660 Exactly, and most of the Sidewalk Commandos laughing at it are incapable of doing any better.
Good video. Shows more of Daytona than just Main Street. Been there 26 times and first time at Bike Week was in 1965. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you were able to help them.
I once sold a bike to a good friend of mine who noticed some scratches on the faring and asked me about them. "I dropped it." He started laughing, talking about how he's never put a bike down in his life. About a week later he called me, "Guess what I did?"
Happens to all of us.
For all my fellow rider's. I don't know you all. But I Love you all. Ride safe and ride hard. USA.
Poor guy. I’ve been close riding 2-up many times. Sucks getting old for me. I saw my bike parked on the street at 4:37-3:39 and again at 10:51-10:58!
Just got back a couple weeks ago and I miss it already.
@10:30 lol you could have stopped to help him get it up.
The guy next to me did as well as two guys who came off the sidewalk.
Even with that slow speed drop, had either of them smacked their head on the pavement, things could turn disastrous quickly. Cool is nice but put a helmet on.
There used to be vendors lined up all along beach st. across from the Indian dealership. Empty this year.
Turning then stopping. Got to be careful with that. It sucks. Hopefully no injury.
I've mostly ridden a 79' KZ1000 ST the 17+yrs I've been riding, never dropped it. Had a 79' GL1000 w/a Vetter fairing the first year we were married, dropped it twice. Last Spring I bought my first "bagger", a new 21' Vulcan 1700 Vaquero, dropped the damn thing 3 times, once in my driveway. Still haven't been on it w/my wife yet, yeah, I'm nervous. One of the times I dropped the GL1000. my wife was on it. Hoping I don't make the same mistakes.
Thanks to all the new subscribers. I’m going to start traveling again and hopefully improve my filming and editing haha. I hope to make the content more interesting along the way.
i bought my new indian and my foot slipped on gravel over it went me under neath had to use other leg to push it off but couldnt lift bike as it was on a slope one guy helped me pick it up but had swollen foot and cuts yeah first time in many years i dropped a bike ....no damage to bike thank fuck
There's 2 types of riders. There are those that have dropped a bike and there are those that will drop a bike. It happens. I've been riding since '71
I enjoyed riding along with you.
THIS CAN HAPPEN TO THE BEST
Definitely
While he was laughing,he should have went over there and help him pick it up.
I dropped my Road Glide Ultra @ Myrtle Beach Rally with my lady on the back twice at slow speed. Never again for now on she's on the back of my Road King when she wants to ride.
Rode my last HD almost daily for 10 years and the only time I ever dropped it was the day after I bought it . I got back from my first ride and dropped it as I was duck walking it backwards into my garage. Lesson learnt, if you're reversing don't turn to look over your shoulder while you're still moving.
It’s the slow tip overs that are the most embarrassing lmao. The frustration was real in that dudes voice lol.
that has happened to many and you feel like a real dum ass, but it happens.
Nice Camera, Good Video.
Beer and front break do it everytime
In my case I forgot to kick the jiffy stand out. Engine Guard!!!,,,,Best $200 bucks a guy can spend to protect his scooter.
There are two types of riders. One that's crashed and one that will
Very true
Nice clear video. 👍
Yep, I seen a friend i knew in traffic one day, I flipped a uey and front tire washed out from under me. Also witnessed a dude spitting some game at a couple of chicks in a parking lot of the gas station, he was drunk and on a incline didn’t realize bike was rolling back and dumped it right in front of the girls😂
Many a time I've envisioned dropping my wife.. but can't say I've felt the same about my bike... not sure it's worth the trade off...
@..10:32 if that's all your here for
Probably wishes he had his helmet on to hide his face after that
Thanks for that. I was wading through the video trying to find it.👍
I went there about four years ago,..........I thought it was,..."Cell-Phone Week"?
Ceskoslovenska.
He tried to u-turn to park on the other side but didn't have the friction zone / head & eyes proficiency.
I think I've dropped all my bikes, except the one that was stolen less that 3 months after I bought it!
How do you know it was his wife? Could have been his "slide" chick!
He's not the first and he won't be the last
My ex friend Bob has dropped his bike so many times I refuse to ride with him anymore. He refuses to use his front Brake. "they didn't have front back when I learned how to ride" he says.
I saw him fall with a woman on the back of his bike and she almost hit her head on the Street curb. He passed me on a Left turn leaving from a red light, that was the last time I rode with him.
Shouldn't of touched the front brake. It happens
No front brake and keep power to the rear wheel or have your foot down when you stop. One or more of the three of those was absent,
skip to 10:35. yes it happens to everybody. perfect reason to leave that $60k CVO at the dealership as floor candy.
If that’s the worst thing that happens at any bike week, then it’s a good bike week. Only thing hurt was his pride.
Nice clear video. What camera and memory card set up do you use? Thanks
Go pro 6
It’s a GoPro Hero 11 using the recommended card. It’s a sandisk, but don’t remember which one, sorry.
With a windshield mount?
I can honestly say. Anybody and I mean Anybody can make a mistake on a motorcycle
Yeah ! It happens to all of us one day or another. BUT a REAL BIKER would have stopped to help. That's the biker code, I guess videographers just like to watch.
That’s what I was thinking. Couldn’t believe he just drove away without stopping to help.
10:23 Came to a stop with the wheel turned.
That time stamp was amazing ✌
I have dropped mine about 50 times over the years. All it takes is for your foot to slip. If you ride everyday these things happen.
Cool prospective. He saw a spot right by the bar.
Looked at the curb, bike followed the eyes, then hit the front brake with the wheel turned and down she goes.
hate to say but i ride very little and have fallen over at least 3 times on 3 different harleys in the sturgis area...all 3 times engine wasn't even running...was backing them out of my trucks???? hope to see everyone in august for the 83rd rally...ride safe
Cocktails and motorcycles don’t mix
Its like when you see someone being rear ended and then after 47 F en years some young punk on the phone hits you up the ass and rips your left side rail and hard bag off . 🤔😡🤬 Bikes now in the shop after years of me getting it to where I wanted it to be . Life's a BITCH sometimes. Stay safe out there with your eyes up your ass.👍🇬🇧🇺🇲😎
Some one send that guy to BE THE BOSS OF YOUR MOTOCYCLE youtube page
His left foot gets caught under passenger footpeg and had no chance to keep it up after that
😮
Bike week or clubbing, Yeah, CLUBBING CLUBBING CLUBBING...
Shite happens for sure, but I am always hesitant at Bike Week events wherever they are held. The area is inundated with riders who do not keep well practiced in their riding skills, particularly when there is a passenger aboard.
10:32 is the fall
I've met far too many 'instant bikers' who bought a bike too big for their skill level, and only ride when they go to 'Trailer Week' at Daytona or other event.
I hate when that happens
It happens but with it being on yt everyone will now know. 😆
Haha. At least you can’t really see his face.
@@hoboonwheels yeah but he can see yours !
Should've stopped and helped out.
I dropped my bike practicing
Time for a new wife
@hoboonwheels Great video. It gave me the opportunity to review my road watching skills and predict what I would do. Sometimes we differed. But e both made it thru the ride unscathed. PS: I thought I switched to riding a Honda Goldwing GL 1800 at 08:36 - 10:30. But then the video self-corrected and went back to riding the HD. Thanks again for recording your ride! 😊👍🏼
Looks like she tried to get off before he was planted shifted weight he wasn’t accounting for
It looks like the wife was leaning too much to the left, and pulled him and the bike over!😢
He hit that front brake while the wheel was turned
I was trying to figure it out. Almost looked like his leg buckled. But it almost threw him and I think you got it right with the front brake.
Yep: Going real slow, and hit that front brake with wheel turned and leaning over, will put you down before you can react. Been there, done that.
Good content a little narration would be nice
Working on it. I have to find a way to make them more enjoyable. Thanks for watching!
So why didn’t you stop to help a brother out?
Just rode by like Vanilla Ice ?
Uuuhm,, why didn’t you stop and help or at least block traffic for them ?
Please all the gear all the TIME cause crashing sucks dress for the slide
I ride solo, don't need a 140 pound extra weight to deal with !
Been there done that, when I seen the title, I thought someone filmed me back in 2010 when I dropped mine with my wife on it
He should’ve stopped to the right , let her off , than parked
Why did you have to show that ?
Shit happens & if it never happened to you, you're damn lucky.
Because it happened during filming. You think I should have edited it out?
@@hoboonwheels Absolutely edit it out & drop the Clickbait. The guy wasn't being a jerk he just made a small error.
You don't even know if they were hurt.
Obviously you were in a cage, and first on the scene. You should have stopped and checked on those folks.
You rode by?
People came off the sidewalk as well as dude next to me stopping.
@@hoboonwheels If you're a biker and you see another biker in trouble, you find a way to stop and offer help. Period. Bikers don't laugh and ride on by.
Bad u turn
Sucks ridin on a road messed up like that one you are on.
Why??
10:32. Why are you turning around on a double yellow line with several bike behind you, and grabbing all that front brake?
Definitely NOT a good spot for a U Turn!
@@KarenKellermanRealEstateLady On Main Street you take what you can, when you can. Location, location, location !
Time stamp anybody?? I don't have time to sit thru this
Jeez thanks lol. It’s like 10:30
@@hoboonwheels coming back to this comment, I apologize for wording it that way. Complete a-hole move on my part. Thanks and I apologize
If you have never dumped a bike, you are lucky. I know I have. More than once. We ALL make mistakes.
Yep! If you’ve never dumped a bike, you’re not riding enough.
he needed to check out be the boss of your motorcycle, learn how to do uturns
That's 6 minutes I won't get back
A parking spot is not that important that you drop the bike and maybe hurt yourself and passenger there will be many other spots a block away, hope they were OK, Peace..
Could have edited out the first 10 minutes of this vid.
Too bored to get to the guy dropping his bike part.
Thanks for watching
f
Please turn off your radio! I freaking cant stand radios on motorcycles !!!!
Ok
Not good hope they didnt get hurt bad crashing or falling off bikes no good
