I saw this video for the first time a few months ago on r/motorcycles, though I can’t remember why I didn’t share it with you back then. After reader JP C. refreshed me memory with a link to it now on Jalopnik, I decided to take a moment to share it with you.
I realize that “Jesus Christ!” is not a great description of what happened, but they’re the exact words that came out of my mouth when I saw what happened. The quick verbal description is that some guy on a Kawasaki ZX6-R gets a bit throttle-happy, goes wide around a turn to come face to face with a sedan, and decides to bail off the side of the road, which apparently is a 40-foot cliff. Thankfully, he seems to be okay. Even though I know what happens, I still shudder ever time I watch this. Now here’s your chance.
