Young Biker Wearing Jeans Panics At The Sight Of A Cop And Crashes Right In Front Of Him

When a 19-year-old motorbike rider sees the California Highway Patrol coming in the other direction, he loses focus mid-corner and lowsides his bike. The impact looks pretty hard and his jeans are instantly shredded!

People need to know the importance of wearing full leathers

Kevlar jeans are good for riding too.. Normal jeans not, of course..

All
The
Gear
All
The
Time

but there is one problem…sweat…when i gave my riding exams,they gave me full riding gear…30 minutes later i removed the gear and my jeans+tshirt where different colour from the sweat…now imagine wearing that to go for a coffee with friends…(too many traffic lights in my area=no wind blown=no cooldown :/ )

but my moto is : Dress for the slide not for the ride ;)

Needs a Honda grom first

Groms aren’t the answer to everything.

Well, I guess that was a Shredding experience for him.

*Ba Dum Tssss

Current bikers be like.

Oh, i got a small love tap in my rear, lets throw ourselves to the ground like we just got ran over by a truck

If he had weared Volvo jeans this wouldn’t happened.

Because Volvos are really safe.Right……

goes to show you that people dont feel protected by police, if they panic when they see them.

See, I don’t think he “panicked” or “got nervous” in front of the cop at all. I think he just pushed the limit too much and went lower than his bike could sustain.

If you watch the slow-motion from 1:30 onward, you’ll notice that his fingers never reach for either the front brake or the clutch, his throttle position doesn’t change at all, and the rear wheel doesn’t lock up or even start to slow down.

However, we DO see his left toe start dragging the ground at 1:34,taking the weight off of the front tire, which then rotates all the way, catches on the ground, taking weight off the rear tire, which then loses traction and begins to slide.

Instead of blaming the police, people start watching the actions of the rider and the behavior of the bike?

Well if you’re speeding or breaking the law, obviously you’ll “panic” when you see the police. As kids we “panicked” when our parents saw us doing something dumb. Doesn’t necessarily mean lack of a protected feeling. You’d be calling the cops first sign of a break in, show a bit of respect.
