I wonder if Farmers insurance thought of that one for coverage! 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Man, that would suck!  One question - how did it turn out someone happened to have a video of this?

The poor guy! (...though I sure hope Thanassis doesn't see this, as it just might remind him of a certain incident when "some guy" was ridin' his BMW RT through Europe a few years back)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Then again, a really bad day would have been to go in the drink instead of the dock!

Boggles the mind as to why or how a camera just happened to be on him during the incident. I hope he wasn't hurt.

Who here thought he was going in the water at the start of the video?

I don't know about that. I think going in the drink would have been less painful than landing in that boat!

That guy was unbelievably lucky. The bike didn't go into the water, he landed in the cockpit of a boat AND the bike didn't land on top of him. I want to go to Vegas with that guy.

We can not say enough, but we must be particularly careful when driving a two-wheeler. A journalist Moto Journal has to pay the price when it was filmed!
meltyBuzz showed you the spectacular fall of a dancer Peruvian Live ! Laurent Cochet, said Lolo, working at Moto Journal, has an experience more or less similar. Then he tested the Yamaha FJR 1300, one of the bags of two wheels typed against a metal block, which unbalanced the bike. Filming took place in the port of Saint Martin en Ré, the reporter drove to the ready water, he fell with his vehicle, crashing against a ship. Fortunately for him, nothing serious, and he dislocated his left thumb and garnered only a few bruises. Lolo was still much humor, having chosen to broadcast the video, however, is now accused of having staged this fall for the buzz!
