Sounds like another real nasty motorcycle crash that almost killed the rider. I don’t know why the bike went off the road, but I do hope the rider will make a full recovery from his injuries.
Supposedly that happens when the bike isn’t loud enough for some reason, or whatever stupid bullshit motorcyclest tell themselves to justify being annoying disrespectful pieces of shit.
