Powered by the shine of the chrome I suppose.
Maybe the attached pudding bowl didn't work as expected and another vehicle with red flashy lights took him to the headache clinic.

Good God men, you're public ambassadors for the incomparable joy and crushing beauty of motorcycle riding-- exercise some self-respect and show some dignity!

Here we have a typical LOW-side.
hmm, looks like hes coming towards the camera, not away. soooooo, unless he has a backwards bike, he's high sided it, and this is the post-crash sliding action shot.

unless he did in fact low-side, and the bike has already spun 180 degress around... then you're right. dunno.

He is coming towards the camera and turning to the right. The right side of the bike is lower than the left. He crashes and the bike is on the right side sliding.

A low side puts the bike on it's right side in this case.

Notice what side the bike is on?


It is a low side. A high side would have put it on the left.

It is a low side. A high side would have put it on the left.
Doesn't a low-side mean that the tires lost traction and the bike precedes the rider in the direction of travel, where in a high-side the sliding bike essentially trips over the tires, tossing the rider ahead of it in the direction of travel? Or have I been doing it wrong all these years?

It's a lowside with a highside toss.
