Haha, I bet he's glad he's got that helmet on to hide his face.

[Sossige]

Rather unfortunate.

love to know why the 'sump' let go? it didn't hit the deck on the bounce but chucks a load of oil out on the flip.

If you look carefully at the 14sec mark the sump touches down before it rolls.

Id guess it was actually the oil cooler if its in a similar position to the older model

How did he not break his leg?

Very lucky - the bike must have not hit his leg when it bounced on the tarmac - the 'bounce' looks to me like the back of the bike actually landed on the side of the tyre, giving enough clearance for his leg and a bit of 'bounce' to help destroy the bike further.

Do people do this wheelie lark on video with an audience without practising first? Seems an odd way to demonstrate your disposable income by repeatedly destroying your motorcycles. He got through three of those Triumphs in the video, and I watched it 10 times, he effectively destroyed 30 new Triumph motorcycles! Lots of money but little sense, if you ask me.
