Maybe she should endorse a jacket and some pants that don’t have holes in them!
Seriously folks, wear your safety gear. The road is basically a big grater and you’re the cheese.

hmm…
for having slid on her left side, those jeans don’t seem very dirty or torn any more than the before image…
Plus that road rash on her shoulder seems not very road rashy; the lack of actual seeping blood seems to make me quite doubtful…

Stop stop stop.
You’re just giving her the attention she aimed for in the first place.
Turn your back, do not investigate any further.

Wrecking a motorcycle sucks. I’ve done it a couple times so far. Neither time did I look quite so well put together afterward. “Languid” is the word that comes to mind. #blessed_I_guess
Welcome to the internet, where it… never… stops.

Tossing your bike & body in the dirt to sell some bottled water? I’m a strong maybe on that…

Or “laying down on the pavement for some dramatically posed compositions to sell some bottle water” at any rate. I don’t see any indication she actually laid her bike down though, gently or otherwise.

Come on, can’t we just give her the benefit of the doubt?

She did not fall off a motorcycle wearing that and come away with only some black smudges on her skin.

it’s hard to believe that in the age of trump people STILL do not realize ALL marketing is lying ALL the time because there is zero penalty for doing so, just sit and watch TV or Youtube commercials sometime and every time something is uttered, say to yourself “hmm is that a lie and/or incomplete truth” and you are probably right
now worry about what’s in your food and medicine because you assume that’s being regulated but it’s unfunded and self-reported by industry so, nope!

For what it’s worth, the most prominent object in the photos is a helmet, and that has no brand on it showing. If I was going to stage cycle accident photos for fun and profit, I would make sure the helmet brand was highly visible.

You’re both confusing a tattoo for something else.
The tattoo is in the “before” picture, so it has nothing to do with what she says happened. You made an assumption.
You mean the smudges?
