Ladies and gents, prepare yourselves for what could very well be the mother of all motorcycle accidents caught on film – well, at least for the year that will soon be coming to an end.
And what a way to end the year for French magazine Moto-Journal and one of its testers, who we come to know by the name Lolo.
From what we understand, (the Google translation of the French description of the incident isn’t very helpful, but it might put on a smirk on your face), 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!
See how it happened for yourself in the video that you will find below the jump.
