Driving a motorcycle -even more so a big and heavy tourer like the Victory Vision- on a mountain road demands your full attention as the slightest mistake or error in judgment can cost you dearly.
And one of the things you should always be alert about on a mountain road is black ice as you can find yourself slipping suddenly out of control like this motorcyclist that recorded his painful fall on a GoPro Hero HD helmet cam.
The incident happened last year on Mt Lemmon in Tucson Arizona and from the looks of it, the rider wasn’t seriously injured.
Video follows right after the break (fast-forward to 1:40 for the slip).
