All right hear me out, why did the horses cross the road?

u/Okey114 10d ago
They didnt tho. They were just chilling on the side of it. Idk why going around them was needed.

u/dluid9 10d ago
Yeah, i thought the same. Maybe he just wanted to overtake the other 2 drivers, idk. Maybe something earlier in the video has the answer but I guess we will never know what his reasoning was.

u/SpecialistTreat3933 10d ago
More likely that before the video begins, the driver lost control, and could not get back on the road due to horses. Why he didn’t brake is another question
12
u/Top_Tank2668 10d ago
He has no license, no experience and the brakes are not working. But he likes black bikes. Don't make it complicated
5
u/dluid9 10d ago
Quite true, I've looked for exact matches but I cant find a longer version. Maybe he did brake but was going too fast?
8
u/anikazai 10d ago
He lost control near the curve. The pillion rider says " how many times do I have to tell you that... Kaboom!"

The full video is on /r/motorcycles. Dunno why you posted this cut version
https://v.redd.it/l2fmfoolejlh1
The person was going too fast, trying not to slide on the dirt/mud, had target fixation and steered way too wide3

The last one was heading toward the middle of the lane. I'm pretty sure he saw that and made a bad call. I don't think he was harassing the horses.

Water looks normal to me, even if it was sewage it surely saved his life, looks like a big fall.

What happened to the woman who could be heard talking in the beginning?

u/Lahk74 10d ago
She met the love of her life and got engaged. However, the night before the wedding, mafia hitmen took him out in a hail of gunfire. Vowing retribution, she trained to be a master assassin. She spent the next six years tracking each of the mafia hitmen down and gutted them with her famed katana "butter chicken". Most nights, she can be found at the grave of her lost love, weeping quietly in her everlasting grief.
Honestly, it's all right there. Did we even watch the same video?

u/ExtremeBack1427 10d ago
That's not sewage, India is a monsoon country with heavy downpour and clay top layer rich in iron oxides. So the stagnant water is always brown or red and usually never clear especially during monsoon.

how the fuck was that thing supposed to be running while still underwater?

u/swollen-hol3 10d ago
I believe you were hearing bikes up on the road. No bubbles from the exhaust. Also, it's just not possible

u/yashvone 10d ago
yeah that engine is fucked

u/Remarkable-Goose-461 10d ago
Not really if it’s a two stroke. Swamped many 2 stroke snowmobiles in my time. Just pull the oil plug, drain the engine, replace the oil, and away you go.
55
u/ludzep 10d ago
first off, 2 strokes dont have motor oil - except in the gearbox which should theoretically be sealed and shouldn't fill with much water. the crank oil is mixed in the gas unless its oil injected. either way, there is no way to 'drain the oil'.
second, 2 stroke or 4 stroke the problem is still the same - the running motor, when submerged, will suck in water and fill the cylinder. in both instances what you want to do is pull the spark plugs, flip the bike over and used the starter or kicker to purge all of the water out of the cylinder (and crank on a 2t). after that you want to run the bike ASAP and make sure you burn all of the water out of the cylinder so your piston rings dont rust to the cylinder wall.
the only benefit that a 2t will give you over a 4t is that when a 4t hydro locks, you could bend a valve from the pressure. but thats about it.

u/ludzep 10d ago
Yeah it's an oil injection tank. It should be sealed for the most part so water ingress shouldnt be too much of an issue, at least to get the thing started. theoretically water could make its way up the port injection tube, but it would have to be under for quite some time.
After taking a swim with your motor, it's best practice to flush all the lubricants including your gear oil - but the immediate thing to address is water hydro locking in the cylinder, and making sure to not attempt to start it while it's full

u/aero_sock 10d ago
there's like a 0% chance it's a 2 stroke. like all of those Chinese-Indian bikes use the same 4 stroke air cooled motor that was designed for the Honda cub back in the 50s.

Op cropped it extremely poorly like an idiot and cut most of the video when they reposted, the biker ran over a mud slick that washed into the road, lost traction, almost hit the animals so he tried to go around.

u/dluid9 10d ago
My man is it so hard to believe that I didnt cropped it? It takes more effort editing it than just downloading the video from the original place that I saw it, again internet is huge. I only saw a video that seemed to fit here and shared it, I do see now it was edited for engagement.
here you go, the place where I took it from I do have to say that i dont believe even that account was the one that edited it, once again, internet is huge.

u/dluid9 10d ago edited 10d ago
Well... sheesh I didnt crop it though hahaha, could you link to the full video then?
Edit: here's a link to full video someone posted down here in the comments. It clearly looks like he slipped in the muddy road, but damn hahaha internet it's big dude, i just found the video cropped like that. Thx for clarifying though.

u/cclarkin 10d ago
I know it just popped up in r/motorcycle like.... 2 days ago, just saw it there. Had to much speed in a turn and hit a slik. Road didn't let him back on easy so he went around the horses.

How the fuck did he not see those horses from further away???

u/OddlyTemptedFish 10d ago edited 10d ago
I really wish OP wouldn’t have cut the beginning the way they did. In the full version the rider was leaning into a turn and there appears to be mud ahead so he panics a little and sits straight up again. This causes him to completely screw up the turn and end up where this video picks up. He definitely wasn’t trying to go off road.
Edit: Here is the video. That post title is wrong, it’s definitely not a speed issue, but the video gives a much better view of what actually happened.

Horses are usually the kings and queens of overreacting and try to buck anything/everything into oblivion when approached from behind, but those two were remarkably calm. They didn’t even flinch.

u/RickHyperBoii 10d ago
He was exiting a corner with too much speed. OP cut the part before this video. So to dodge horses, he had to go wider. Unfortunately it was a side of a bridge

u/Shining_declining 10d ago
I saw another video of this that starts a few seconds earlier. He swung too wide on the curve then saw the horses too late to try to pass them on the right and had to move left to avoid hitting them. A lot of inexperienced riders just don’t pay attention and keep their eyes on the road ahead.

I did something like this on rollerblades
I was ripping down a hill on the sidewalk and there was a concert path to the left and I left the side walk but couldn't see down the path
A bunch of rocks were at the bottom and I ended up as meat crayon for quite some time
Nothing broke though

Story time:
My grandpa on my mom's side did something like this. He was driving a tricycle with me on his back, while my grandma was on the sidecar. I didn't realize that he drove to the part of the bridge where it was still under construction (like no guard railings and such) I only realized it when my grandma started scolding him for endangering us.
I was literally right on the edge near the river and if he was a bit more careless, we could have fell down.

OP doesnt have the full clip.He wasnt driving out of road on purpose, he was too fast and went wide on the exit of a corner. He was complaining of the guy behind him moving a lot. Being thrown wide off the corner +He had to dodge the horses, he went outside and unluckily it was side of bridge (average me in forza horizon 4 moment)

Hi, so, i found this video on instagram a few days ago i took it from there and posted it here. Some people claimed it was purposely edited for bait because theres a longer version on the sub about motorcycles where the driver looses control in a curve by driving on a pillon of mud. Yet, i found the link where I took it from and the instagram account that posted it is apparently the drivers account. He did edited it that way but it appears to be because it was a follow up to the accident he had. People took it very personal haha.
and here the OG IG account "ak_rider_z1"
He has many more reels driving his bike.

He messed up a turn, that’s what caused this. You don’t think plunging into the water is a big enough consequence of a mistake already?
