Nice ride.

I agree, it doesn't seem like he did enough to disable it, though.

Waaaaay old school helmet. I think I had the same one back in the '70s.

AT least he had his helmet on kudos for that, old school style but perhaps new. I thought he might have twisted his knee.
To bad its' illegal to shoot paparazzi that would be fun

He wears the helmet to hide himself. He says it's a way to help "blend in" and become just another asshole on the road. The bike, sadly, is a custom job he had done it seems.

I've had bikes down before. Best I can tell is the fuel in the carb dumped up and into the cylinder and flooded the hell out of the thing. Cranked it forever, killed the battery before it started again. Let it dry out a day or so, tried again and it still cranked pretty long before I had it running again. That's just my guess.

My thoughts exactly. Didn't seem like he tipped it over long enough for that though.
Anyway, nice of the camera guy to watch instead of help !

Weren't those guys loading it into the truck thieves?

Too bad his throttle grip hit the parked car. He was looking the other way.

He was being chased by the paparazzi, that was his attempt to get a bit away from them. They were the ones with the camera.

The bike was still running while it was on it's side. Look at the slow motion replay and you will see the clutch hub spinning while it is laid over. It was not disabled, no way. I figure he was shook up and didn't want to continue the ride. Or he just wanted to get out of the public eye as quickly as possible. Probably a little of both.

Looks like he bruised his ego.

Only in Hollyweird.
