Rider Gets Ticket as Speed Camera Catches Him Crashing

Bad day for that guy. And it seems like a bit of slab. Not sure why he's gone off.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

I had read this yesterday...and I think the explanation was pretty well stated in the article...

Quote....In analyzing the crash, Swiss police believe Maier saw the speed camera approaching, and locked up the brakes on his motorcycle while attempting to lower his speed before he went through trap. Losing control of his bike, Maier almost lost his license in the process. Had Maier been traveling just 3 km/h faster through the speed sensors, his license would have automatically been suspended. Surely going over the 110 km/h initially, there must be at least a small consolation from that news, though we imagine Majer’s pride must sting a bit still....

I think he's lucky, I've crashed 5+ times at the track and still don't have one photo to show for it.
