Any ideas as to how this guy lost control of the bike?

This has got to be every motorcyclists words nightmare.

Dan did some research and found the reason for this crash.... :BLAA:
I did read somewhere that the stealership failed to tighten the rear end of this bike on the predelivery inspection :eek: , causing the back wheel to kick & bucked him off :thumbup: Dealer replaced the lot straight away , no questions asked...

Check out this video. Their lack of awareness of doing stupid things shocked me... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlFy1MQR4b0&feature=related]YouTube - Hornet 2008 vs Bandit 2008[/ame]

Not trying to discredit Daniels research. If I remember correctly I think another reason offered for the "Off". Was that the dealership was waxing / shining the tyres with something to make them look lovely. The rear does look pretty mirror like in the video?
Either way I would hope that the damage was covered.
It would be a totally gutting experience for the owner. Personally I don't think they were showing off. Just excited about a new bike.
