Cobblestone. Rain. Slightly above zero celsius degrees. Motorcycle ride with buddies. Does it sound like recipe for disaster?

It could very well! And it sort of did for Gregory – also known as Eotiel who’s known to review and test motorcycle gear for fun on Youtube and in magazines. This time it wasn’t meant to be a test though, just a ride with the biker buddies.
Lucky for Gregory and his bike, they were both protected and escaped with some bruises only. Not too bad considering that the crash happened at approximately 45kmh/28mph.
There’s no one to better explain what happened than the man himself. Side note: the video is in French language but there are after-crash images are below the video.
A quick sum up in English and a response to my question whether it was intentional (of course not, Lorry!):
And quite frankly, I am delighted with the crashbars, they have moved a little bit because of the impact because the bike still slipped on 15-20 m easily …
