Oh no!

Dang, bummer(;
ATGATT, for those guys from now on ?
Oh I forgot slow cruisers never go down.
Glad you are okay !
The helmet on the girl/passenger looks very loose. If you're going to wear it, wear it right.
Why do passengers always land on their face?
Glad you folks were OK
"Why do passengers always land on their face?"
I don't know but when I hit I rolled....saved my face.
Good to see they are okay, hopefully the bike didn't get banged-up too bad, either.
That helmet does look loose. It could've just as easily slid to her left side and allowed her head to land smack on the asphalt. Quite dangerous. Need to tighten that strap up ma'am.
Gravity Wave? Similar to a Wormhole.
If you care about who you have riding with you, both you and your partner ware good leather and helmets. Leather wears, skin don't.
Glad you never got hurt
With the greatest of respect and yes I cannot blow up the photo too much, but that front tire looks extremely smooth to be riding on the road??
And with a little moisture it would seriously be like a blade on ice !!!!!
Maybe it'd be a good idea to set up a saw horse and a sawdust or sponge pit to practice fall-and-roll moves. It's pretty tough to set up a roll when there's a driver in front of you, so maybe MC safety instructors might want to build a new unit into the course for passengers and train the drivers to be teachers.
As I remember from the MSF course years ago, most dangerous time is right after it starts raining and everyone here surely knows the reasons. That said, that looks like a tight turn that would have made me slow down a bit on a dry road. They look like fun on the way in . . .
You should really make a coffee table book with all these photos in it... I'd buy a copy...
