B-Lee RidesThis motorcycle crash happened last summer, and I chose not to share it until the rider had fully recovered.
During the ride, the rider lost control, resulting in a crash that sent the motorcycle off a cliff. While the bike was severely damaged, the most important outcome is that the rider recovered and is doing well today.
This video is not shared for shock value or blame. It’s posted to encourage awareness and discussion about how quickly situations can change on two wheels — especially when riding in remote areas where consequences are higher and help can be far away.
Crashes like this often come down to a combination of factors: conditions, speed, line choice, and moment-to-moment decisions. The goal of this video is to learn, reflect, and carry those lessons into every ride.
