Does anyone know what kind of motorcycle that is?

007, you seem to know a lot about bikes!

How crazy would it be if you were the couple in that apartment building, and Brad Pitt walked in asking for refuge?

Amy- Very well said! I feel the same way about the accident that killed Princess Diana. Had the paps not been chasing her car, odds are the accident wouldn’t have happened.

The fact is, Brad probably never would have needed to weave between the cars had it not been for the paps chasing him.

Glad to know he is okay, but I agree with all the others, that TMZ was there to film it all, so that means that they were trying to keep up with him. This is where the danger is, the following in their cars to get the pictures. Not only is the celebrity in danger but all the other innocent people driving their cars or walking across a street.

I just wanted to add one thing on this topic then im done. Since learning that the papz did not actually hit brad, people havent been as outraged, some even taking blame away from the papz. My husband has a motorcycle and every time he takes it out im a nervous wreck until he gets home. I worry about him driving too fast or bad drivers on the road with him. I cant even imagine how i would feel if i knew when he left on it he would be stalked by people trying to take pictures of him. Motorcycles are dangerous to begin with and for the papz to be tailing him when hes on it is just asking for trouble. I blame them entirely. Even if brad acted irresponsibly. I dont think it would have happened had they not been there.

Diana’s driver was drunk, please don’t forget that. I think this accident was just that, an accident. His motorcycle is very heavy and if you go slowly it’s harder to keep control. Once it falls it’s almost impossible to pick it up by yourself.

[...] know that many PittWatch readers were very worried about whether Brad Pitt was injured after his motorcycle spill over the weekend. Even though reports said that he was fine, sometimes it’s hard to believe [...]

Looks like gear-issues… In low revs some bikes misbehave if they’re in the wrong gear (or simply have a “tech-out”, which simply is the equivalent of a bitchy bike :P ). I’m just guessing, because it seemed like he just hit the breaks too hard and too fast – but perhaps thats just what he did.

It happened to me when I had just had my sports license for a few months. One minute I was sitting ON a Ducati 1198R in a roundabout, the next I felt a “hickup” (like someone just hits the breaks d e a d) and was flying OFF the bike. Not the most pleasant of experiences… (mostly for the ego) but then again, that particular bike wasn’t meant to do normal traffic. The protective leather suit and helmet prevented serious damage from the fall. I never understood how people ride bikes without much more protection than perhaps (some sort of) helmet.

Good thing it wasn’t anything serious for him there.

Toodles…

I would imagine that the pap’s are worse about following him on his motorbike since he excepted that ride from them when his bike broke down awhile ago, they are probably trying to get a repeat. but, lets be honest don’t think Brad will ever except another ride from them again.

Gee…I still don’t see it. I’ve looked at that vid several times and I don’t see him hitting the car until he falls over. It appears he has enough clearance on both sides. Oh well…I’m glad he’s okay. Mad, Pax, Z, Shi, Knox, & Viv probably gave him a big hug when he got home. And I would imagine George Clooney will be ribbing him about this spill.
