The story can be found at Killboy. The guy pulled off the road and the spot where he put his foot down sloped away. The rider and his bike tumbled into the creek. He was trapped under the bike under water. Passersby helped him up and out.

Water cooling can be easier achieved by riding in the rain. That looks like a situation where the ego takes a hit!

I see he has a GPS on the handlebars. If you zoom in real close, it says:

"Glub...Glub....I told you to turn LEFT dumbass!!!!"

Hum...I wonder how he managed to tumble down what is clearly a very rocky creek bed and do no damage to the bike?

I saw this on another website. Out of a 1 acre HUGE parking lot, he chose to stop and put his foot down at the one place where he would tumble down the embankment and into the water.

Glad he was OK!

I like how he hung his helmet so carefully on the handlebar, too!

I'm glad he was helped out! Not too much physical damage seen.
