Drifting a motorcycle is a fine art. It takes a tremendous amount of skill, and if it goes wrong, its probably going to hurt. With that in mind, we really cant recommend you try it on the road. On a busy residential street. With pretty much no safety gear other than a helmet. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, thats precisely what this guy did in Newcastle, New South Wales, with the ever-scary Dashcam Owners Australia YouTube channel uploading the moderately terrifying footage for our viewing displeasure. <\/p>\n
Hes thrown off the bike but initially stays upright, with the momentum forcing him into an almost graceful cartwheel - right in front of an oncoming car. Fortunately, the car in question - which recorded the whole thing via a dashcam - was able to stop in time. <\/p>\n
The driver had this to say about the crash: <\/p>\n
Fella took the corner a little to fast, but seemed fine afterwards - although there was a little bit of shock, as he rode off without a chance for me to get out of the car (short conversation through the window). He apologised, and no damage was done to my car. I noticed a fair bit of fluid pouring from the bottom of his bike as he drove away. <\/p>\n
