Yes. That AMD 990. A tiger 900 rally pro

Wet road, corner, downhill.
And maybe with someone unfamiliar on the bike.

All recipe for disaster

Test riding bikes for newbies in the wet is a really bad idea tbh.

You were there today? Looks quite serious the crash. I wonder if the rider have to bear the cost. On normal showroom test rides usually sign a waiver that says something in the likes of if there's an accident, the rider is to bear the cost of repair and to not get insurance involved.

Also saw the uncensored video. I feel like getting new riding boots now....

Official statement Rider blackouts suddenly, therefore overshooting the corner.

Or more likely some form of target fixation hmm.gif

if you read the indemnity, it's just waiving them liability.
no way an indemnity of tester needing to bear the cost of repair and not getting insurance involve will fly. if that ever exist, one should just walk away.

and yes. i've seen a ton of gory motorcycling shit and yet i still return to it laugh.gif
and people STILL ask me why i gear up. laugh.gif

When I went for KTM Test ride, the form basically says what I just said. The bikes have insurance sure, but if you crash it, the company will ask you to pay for it instead of claiming from the insurance. At least that's what you had to sign off before test riding.

last week during the auto show at MAEPS serdang, they were having a test ride at one of the carparks full of gravels and CFMOTO had like 8 bikes or more lining up just for ppl to test drive. no need sign anything, no need show license...just hope on any bike you like and go
*
Closed circuit don't need license ma. If ride in the road they will photocopy your license lol.

A brand to slash out for me i guess.

BMW Suzuki never had that in their indemnity forms. Not sure if that's changed now.
*
My only experience is with ktm and triumph, pretty sure both had that in theirs. Triumph can't really remember 100% but KTM confirm ada because I asked the guy samore what if its not my fault takkan want me bayar also lol.

Please share the uncensored video
Treat this as a warning to those not wearing proper riding shoes when riding.

Holy shit that's horrible

Sorry for the rider, but this incident may result in restricted test ride by Triumph in the future.

Used to enjoy Triumph PJ test ride. Used to own a ST765 and they gave me the whole stable of bikes to enjoy for an hour or so whenever im down there for service/ loitering around.
*
Now change distributor already ma, triumph no longer fast Bikes. Now triumph under Goh brothers umbrella together with RE, Aprilia etc, that's why this test ride event are all brands under Goh brothers/didi resources.

Luckily I didn't go. Thought of going to test ride bikes but if the test ride track like that then I don't want to bother laugh.gif

QUOTE(skyblu3 @ May 15 2023, 12:59 PM)
True.
Safety gears, if can afford .... Get the branded ones.
If not get the best you can afford.

Wonder if there is any updates on this rider. Hope he's ok.
Speedy recovery to him.

Yeah definitely thinking of upgrading my boots now. Falco boots anybody got try before?

the accident actually happened during dry weather and on the uphill section. only during emergency services came that it started to rain.

my friend who was there even mentioned that it was the first time he got so sweaty while working at Genting.

and the crash actually was caught on camera tho although not clearly.

a rider in front of the one that crashed was recording for a vlog during the test ride and the crash can be seen on the side mirrors.



It was around the 9:00 minute mark
*
Damn that's a painful crash. My guess would be didn't lean in enough to make the turn, target fixated at the wall, then panicked and went to the wall? He looks pretty upright for the turn, vs the lead bike kona baring.
