Tourette's biker?

Nice recovery

 

[Phatman]

First time I've ever seen someone recover from a wobble like that. Still wish he died though.

Good save man! Look like he deliberately let go of the bars and rear braked! Cool under pressure. Arguably save his life, or at least his legs!

I'm lost, surely letting go of your handlebars is a bit of a no-no? Even if it's just "look mom no hands"?

Wooooooo

The front is already uncontrollable.You holding onto them isn't going to help. You have to put more weight on the front tire so it gains better control. So you back brake or you throttle up and down to make the bike surge.
These wobbles occur more often on motorcycles that people do wheelies on because the impact when the front comes back down damages it.

Thank you for explaining, I can't even drive a car.

I would never drive a motorcycle on the interstate or even a jeep wrangler. These vehicles were originally built for their off-road capabilities. Using them on interstates or speeds over 65MPH creates a risk not worth it. Driving is overrated. I hardly drive anywhere anymore.

So sad, very unlucky...

That was almost a good video... Too bad he lived! The only good scootercycle rider is a dead one!!! Someone should have helped him out by ramming him off the freeway.

I bet if he were driving responsibly there would have been no wobble to deal with in the fucking first place.

Disappointing ending

No the bike always wants to correct itself, keeping hold of the bars human instincts will kick in trying to correct it which in fact makes it worse, the save was steering the bike with his legs away from other traffic,
Lots of causes, wheel bearings, head bearings, swing arm bearings, tyre pressure, tyre wear, light front end from hard acceleration and hitting a bump, to name a few,

I’d defo invest in a steering damper (well I have got one on my bike as it’s a bit of a wheelie monster 😂 but you can also wheelie out of a death wobble)

Not his first time. But great job
