Ever dump your bike.................

Most likely spot to drop it would be in the slow turn, but his wheels had to be lifted for that.
Back to the drawing board!
Fun to watch though.

I followed a guy home from Springfield Mile one Sunday afternoon and was curious about the rig I could see on the rear of the bike. Turned out it was a wheelchair, and when the guy went up an off-ramp and stopped, wheels like those deployed and he turned left on the crossroad. As he gained velocity, the wheels went up and he carried on as normal, on two wheels.
 
Just once, with the #2 prototype Commando. I was riding on rural roads that I thought I knew well, but I mis-remembered where I was. I came over a hump-backed bridge over a canal where I expected a long sweeping right-hand turn on the other side. Unfortunately, that bridge was 2 miles further down the canal. As I went almost weightless over the bridge, I was faced with a T-junction!

I went through a hawthorn hedge into a pasture and was able to U-turn back to the field gate. The only casualty was my Barbour riding suit, which suffered a few rips from the thorns of the hedge.
