Oops! He's Losing It!

There is a large shopping center and parking lot at the south end of Delta Ponds. I park there when I take my walks in the Ponds. This day the city police department was using the lot for some motorcycle training and the riders followed a course outlined with cones. As this officer negotiated a sharp turn, he slowed too much and began to lose balance. Those bikes are heavy and he started to go over. The other officer got there in time to help him right the bike. But I captured the moment where he started going down. I know the feeling. It happened to me once back when I was riding them.
