"A reporter for Moto Journal, a French publication, is becoming famous for all the wrong reasons. The motorcycle journalist, named Lolo, not only crashed his Yamaha while being videotaped during a waterfront ride, he tumbled off a dock and landed in a sailboat 10-15 feet below.
"Presumably, only his pride was injured because Moto Journal went public with the incident by posting the accompanying video, perhaps assuming (correctly) that it'd go viral. "
Someone needs to go back to class for more lessons.
He misjudged his bike's width and snagged a saddlebag on one of those bollards. An easy mistake to make, since it was probably a test bike he wasn't familiar with.
If it hadn't happened on a narrow dock, it would have been less amusing.
