Still wearing his crash helmet, he turns to pull it down on the other side and walks straight into the lamppost.
A loud clanging sound is heard as the motorcyclist falls to the floor and the footage shows his legs fly up in front of him.
Nathan, who is from South Africa, told MailOnline: ‘I never hurt myself – luckily I was still wearing my helmet. But the next morning I could feel I took a fall.’
He added: ‘I parked my bike, I was locking it up, put the cover over and was still looking at my bike when I started walking away. My Go-pro camera was still recording. I hadn’t turned it off yet.
