It's the motovlogger who filmed himself breaking car mirrors and doing other stupid shit that we were discussing on the previous page.

I'm not a rider, but this looks like target fixation to me...

Yuuuuup. Classic noob mistake. Claims the steering locked up after fixating out the outside of a corner. Apparently that was a Yamaha FZ-10. Not exactly what I'd recommend for a beginner.

He didn't get a Darwin Award? He was doing well over double the recommended limit, on a mountain road, where there is no barrier correct? Yea, steering locked up my ass. :lol:

Don?t know if this is a ?lol.?
No mirrors, turn signals or brake lights and inches from burning his backpack. If he looked left, his bag would hit the pipes. That light in the middle didn?t change brightness once while coming to a stop at a light.

Do you really expect a custom bike to work properly? Who cares as long as it looks cool bro! /sarcasm

To be fair, in most states you are not required to have turn signals, brake lights, and those that require rearview mirrors only require one. As long as you properly signal your moves with hand signals, you are legally in the clear.
I bet he does have a brake light, and he's riding around with his foot resting slightly on the rear brake lever. I see it a lot with some riders.
EDIT: Nevermind, I see now his foot is on the ground. Maybe a jammed switch?

The handbrake will activate the light too, but it could be stuck too.
