Rough road and too much speed equals a bad time. Been there done that. Plus, the camera makes you drive worse. Make bad decisions. I push it when a camera Is mounted. So I'm speaking for myself here
To all you goons yabbering about potholes and "ice"..
He crashed because he was riding on the gravel in the gutter, right at the edge of the road. How did he get there? He drifted wide because he has no control over his bike. He was already committed to crashing, before the crash.
It wasn't potholes, it wasn't ice, it wasn't speed... it was incompetence. Then gravel.
Watch from 0:50 onwards, at 0:55 he's coming off but at 0:54 he's already heading for the curb through not steering enough..
how did you manage to lose the front wheel (as in when it was sliding the front wheel is missing completely)? Also i see it was the road surface that knocked you of balance, should have seen that coming! :)
Glad your ok tho and there was no oncoming traffic.
Too much speed than you could handle... How about some track time to work on your skills in a much safer setting. That was completely avoidable. Next time, don't keep your eyes on the curb. Look to where you want the bike to go... And not at the curb. You earn the name "Squidward!"
You can tell from the very beginning this guy doesn't know what he's doing...had he not slowed down enough he would have hit the other biker. Then he can't make a simple right turn...
There a transition speed (not all that fast) where you go from leaning and actually turning the direction you need to go (very slow speed)...to where you actually lean while turning the wheel opposite of where you need to go. Looks like he locked up the brakes at the end too...
He didn't seem to lean at all. He had loads to go. Counter steering, google it! Look where you want to go not at where you hope you don't end up going.
@bringerofrage He didn't hit the curb for any reason that I could see. He went way too wide for no reason. This is what happens when you ride faster then your competent to ride at! If when you get a little scared, you tent to panic then stay of a motorcycle. So I agree with you.
if you haven't been down...you aren't riding it hard enough...just sayin...i see a ton of guys who claim to ride hard...there chicken stripe looks like ribbon on each side...way to have some balls...and walk away without being injured...a little more experience...you could have pulled it through..just looks like you werent ready for the turn...
looks like he got caught up in some road debri on the edge and that steel cross beam on the bridge didnt help either. could have happen to anyone of us.
Good thing he was wearing gear. But it was funny cause just like in my wreck the first thing is dammit my bike is wrecked. Then it's, do I need to go to the hospital?
Gotta flame you a bit. Save that type of riding when there are not cars around or hit up a track. You can go as fast as you want there without putting other drivers in danger at the expense of your good time
@Summitshow I think american roads are god like compared to other countries, atleast compared to the country I live in. Here its even freakin dangerous to drive a motorcycle cuz of a huge bump every meter.
that was a shit road man. wow. surface all screwed up, looks like pot holes and tons of dirt and probably road salt from winter. good to hear you're alright.
GIXXAR aye?? hmmm , novice mistake , not knowing how to countersteer on a bend under acceleration. Glad you're ok , brave of you to post this on youtube. Just calm it down when riding with your mate, im not going to flame you but it's close bud.
Really nice quality video. What camera? Glad you weren't hurt! 80mph can take a bunch of hide off! I've bled pretty good from some 10mph offs. (baby head rocks HURT!)
I wonder if you could sue/get reimbursed by the city for poor road conditions? It won't help that you were speeding, but you did somewhat lose control due to road conditions.
I had a friend who's dad fell on his bicycle riding around town, the city gave him a settlement since he claimed it was due to cracked pavement or something like that
@J801506 Yes, unfortunately. Insurance and DMV statistics are the sources. I was originally told that by a Suzuki dealer and thought he was kidding until I did a little homework. Between theft and accident rates they hit the bottom and are why no insurance company wants to go near them. They KNOW they will pay on them. That's why a years insurance is the same as the bike costs.
So was it; A. Loves Nascar so much he refuses to turn right? B. Thought you had bought an Enduro? or C. Bet your buddy you could crash your Suzuki and both your wheels would still be there when you got up?
Very true, that's one of the scariest things a rider can come across, even though we don't think much about it. But the road was garbage to be doing that speed.

@bethj830 This sort of riding should better be done on the track. At least there you have no trucks, bus stops, kids crossing, and so on. And you certainly have better adherence, meaning you can enjoy leaning further down without skidding. Try it, I'm sure you'll love it!
