Taking pictures is risky….

[fishplug]

Think I have only ever had one clanger caught on video. Skiing is not my forte!

I confess to having watched that more than just once



Does that make me a bad person?

It wasn’t caught on camera but I had a fall that would’ve made a good video some years ago. I was hanging the washing on one of those fold out Spanish drying racks on the pitch at Cabopino. I somehow managed to trip over the foot of the drying racks & fell on top of the washing & into the hedge, where I lay tangled in the remains of the rack & the once clean washing until my husband finally heard me & came out of the van to pick me up! Still not sure how I managed it!

Only BMW riders?

Nope - did it in my CBR1000……….

he hadn't quite got the angle right for it to stay upright.

Has he now sorted that.....

If that was me messing up like that, taking a picture of me and my van would be risky too

Would that be before or after you accepted the offer of water and help?

Academic.

In my experience; the person who grabs their phone and starts filming is the very last one likely to actually help.

Yeh, Just smiffy like that!

Been there, done similar with a fully fuelled BMW GS1200 Adventure. You then find out how heavy they are.

Lighter than a fully fuelled up R1150GS with the 40Lit Touratech tank and the shopping in the panniers I would guess....

Both lighter than a fully loaded Harley Davidson Electraglide Ultra Ltd
Very easy to pick up, once you know how

No longer live there and he has had several bikes since, now got a Ducati monster. Don't know of him dropping one since.

Met this poor French man today in Morocco, he stopped to take a picture and forgot to put the handbrake on….

Thinking back on this, where is he’s yellow jacket and warning triangle the French are wanting us to display all the time…

I suppose it could be said he’s not blocking the road….

Certainly the modern generation are more concerned with their Instagram/YouTube ratings than assisting with any type of emergency.

He's not in France. I don't think Morocco is too bothered!

They are actually, most breakdowns I’ve seen have a triangle out and if your at the side of the road a bloke in a yellow jacket will come and charge you for parking…
