Andy_Bangle Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 One of French magazine Moto-Journal bike testers, Lolo, was out filming his Yamaha FJR 1300 tester at the commune of Saint-Martin-de-Ré in southwestern France. While taking a turn on the marina, the bike's saddle baggage hit a metal post sending the test driver and his brand new FJR 1300 down towards the water, with the motorcycle smashing on the concrete floor and Lolo…crash-landing into a boat!

eldavo69 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Excellent. Would love to have seen his face when he was heading towards the boat. It did seem a completely inappropriate place to ride a motorcycle though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I saw that this morning but didn't know it was a journalist. Makes sense of the camera and "scenic" location. That's a long drop and a heavy bike. Nasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
