Ducati 1098S crash in London Snow

[RiceKiller191]

... Why would you even ride when it's snowing. The tires will be colder than dick.

[DragonXDrei]

Got caught in the snow storm, I stopped over and took release quite a lot of air from my tyres, probably about half, had a lot more grip and managed to get home OK... only to drop the bike outside the house as I slipped and dropped it:) Droped it 4 more times... during the snow. Thank God my bike is an XJ with engine bars.

[speeder741]

look at the guy at 8 seconds he looks at him and said to him self "dear God what is he doing with that ducati "

[ChriswarrenBadlad]

Stop calling this guy a jackass, it's his choice, I did the exact same the other day because I wanted to test myself lol leave him to it, he won't go out twice ;) well I won't in the snow

[speeder741]

you know you have two legs right ?

[NoFukinNamesLeft]

meh London is easy to get around leave the bike in the garrage lol...

[Freemanf4]

this is what happens when you are a fucking idiot

[middlemanclayton]

more money than common sense

[DucatiChica]

Dumbass!

[dirtytrancer]

what a jackass. he didnt even hit the kill switch before lifting the bike back up..instead he left it in gear n let it roll around

[highsider99]

Technically, that person is known as a Numpty

[automobilslalom]

Hahaha I did it with my GSX-R too but it was a lot chaper *g*

[geekgrrlca]

Some people are hard core, it is also possible he was out visiting and ended up snowed in, it isn't like it snows in london much

[lewistee1987]

I ride in the rain when i have to. but this is just ridiculous, what was he / she trying to achieve... realistically ???

[WwAste]

i ve never seen people riding ducatis in rain and this cunt tries to ride his 20000$ bike in snow lol

[fishfajitas]

Riding a bike in snow?!

$tupid Brit.

[doulmurataes]

nuts? hahahaha

cmon, be a relevent person

even im riding 996sps

i still not yet insane to do that at my bike

even its 1998 =.='

[kellydale2003]

So funny when it snows in london, even when its only 2cm.

They're so helpless lol.

[Gixxer600]

What a waste of a bike!

[MrMarlb0r0]

@Gixxer600

It would be a waste of a bike if he left it in his garage for 8 months of the year.

This is the complete opposite to a waste of a bike.

[geebussuk]

Only dumb if he bought the bike for tart value, rather than for the riding. Doubt the drop made it any less good a ride.

I rode my tuned zx9 throughout the snowy bit - much better than sitting in the endless traffic jams that developed initially.

[GreenBayPackers81]

lol... tht is wut u call the dumbest biker EVER!!!!!

[curtisducati]

Ive got a ducati 748 , and she only comes out when its warm ! fancy doing that to a duke , plonker , grands worth of damage for nothing the fool , get a £500 jap for winter as i do every year ! my 748 is as new still ! and its a 1997 model ....

[fremlinskent]

You're nut, pal!

I ride all year round, but when the snow was here a few weeks back I took the (slow, overcrowded, expensive, boring) train.

[alexbiddulph]

I love how everyone is the expert when posting comments on these types of videos.

[carlosjayos72]

wish i was a twat with more money than sense! got to beat being a skint one!!!!!!

[touge2000]

What possessed him to ride a 1098S in the snow!? You never even see people riding Ducatis in the rain never mind the snow!

[Epoq]

Actually, some of us Ducati riders do occasionally get caught in surprise rain storms. It sucks when it happens.

[nikonxxx]

@touge2000 rain is okay pending on the tyres

[DragonXDrei]

@touge2000 Mate I remember clearly that day, in the morning it was a normal winter day, in the afternoon it starting snowing like crazy... no one expected that snow. A lot of bikes were caught out... I was one of them but first instinct was to release air from my tires to get more grip, it worked, I was going faster than the cars, made it home 20 miles away in one piece.

[emikawas]

why you driving in the snow stupid man??

[odogplayer]

fucken fairy

[CHRISCOOBS]

He didnt have a few grand extra for a car????

[trimph675]

Its a £15,000 bike - add insurance and maintenance costs and its twice the price of a small car. There are many reason why bikes are better than cars for 99.9% of the time, this was the 0.1% when a car would have been better.

[mako7828]

what would those 99.9 percent of the time possibly be? Ya cant haul anything, have less traction, suffer to the elements.

I like riding, but lets be realistic about this.

[gonzalito1988]

what a clownnn

[PostalFerretWithRum]

i've seen worse on a patch of diesel what the fuck was this guy thinking, poor sod

[mrt273nva]

i think he forgot to put on his chains before leaving for work.

[Ecojuice]

hahahahha dement!

[kilo495]

Yep, use the dull jap il4's for the commute, and the 1098 for the good days.

[DaZiomas]

Unlucky mate, but whyd u even bother :S.

[trimph675]

I checked the damage on the bike - there was very little - just some slightly scuffed paint work. It was, however, damaged on both sides so this was possibly his second crash of the day.

[jujitsu62]

Give the guy a break ; when is the last time they had snow in London England ? He obviously hasn't a clue ( Blonde ) Look a the yanks in the south when they have a snow ...demo derby !! Not a clue ...still drive like maniacs .

[Mattew1999]

Technically it wasn't a crash? He is still a dick though.

[fawbish]

I swear to lucifer if I knew where you lived I would cut you. Just...why? More money than sense?!

[desmogius]

WANTED!

[ChiliPepper54]

I guess he wanted to prove he wasn't the posing fairweather rider most Ducatti owners are.

Unfortunatley all he proved was that he is a bit of a berk.

[Epoq]

Shut up squid.

[roddersyoutart]

I guess it also proves you cant spell mate. Buy yourself a dictionary

[ChiliPepper54]

Lol, fairweather Ducrapi rider perchance?

Don't worry sweetie, another 4 months and you can get it out and have a sunday runabout for half an hour.

[eltel22]

Like to see you put 3000klm on an 848 in 3 months in Thailand, some of that in Bangkok traffic like I have.

Tosser!

[ChiliPepper54]

You went all that way just to get a ladyboy? What a trooper.

Hope they liked your leathers.

[eltel22]

Ladyboy? Stop projecting!

[mrt273nva]

I second that. I ride in Bangkok traffic daily, however we don't get any snow here. It does piss down rain at times though.

[fubaaar]

Thats right he can do what the hell he wants, and if that means a half hour ride on a sunday then good for him......what exactly is your point?? Some people!

[FASTERTHANSID]

Typical power ranger.

[northwindlowlander]

Yeah, because all the power rangers go riding in the snow :P Power rangers are all FWBs, this guy is hardly that...

[mad4it028]

dickhead dosnt deserve a nice bike i mean ffs man get a winter hack!!

[SuperBikeMag]

He forgot the tyre warmers. Schoolboy error.
