Kawasaki Ninja 250..... crashed

[dalecolegrove]

5th gear on a 250 is like 2nd gear on most bikes. I doubt that was the issue.

[FiQPCGamer]

riding a super bike,, same like riding moped bike??? i mean skill riding.. help me..

[junior12343]

lol its funny how you talked about the person who parked there car on the side of the street and then you realized why they did that. haha

[polivo0111]

i always stop.. or offer to stop. Bikers usually got each others back.

[CrazyAssault]

idk why but for some reason i subbed and you made my day better...im not being a smartass but serious

[GetIntheDamnVan]

Looks kinda like eminem to me.

[henryismaster]

13mordeth sound familiar ? lol chek him out

[gurkmeja101]

I think it's nice to see that people actually care about each other, asking if you need help and giving it if needed. Makes me glad :)

[akr4m]

where are you guys from? people there seem really nice and helpful, down here in Toronto, people wouldn't care to stop, u'd be very lucky if someone did stop LOL u'd prolly have to call the tow truck an wait 3-4 hours

[BreakzoneVIDS]

he wanted to fap to him? wat??!!

[TheEliteWolfman]

good job for turning around but u coulda done that like right when u passed him?!? maybe u had reasons but i would have done a U-e faster.

[GorionsWard]

I dont know you dude but I just wanted to say kudos for both of you turning around and helping a fellow biker id buy you both a drink, respect.

[JesBlazed1]

@GorionsWard i dont think you can buy respect.

[bigchrisram]

i was thinking about getting a Kawasaki ninja 250. is this a good starter bike, one of my buddies was saying its not that good cause on highway it would be hard picking up speed and i was like are u sure..? it was going to be a 08 or higher.

[MeDmAnQcA]

@bigchrisram /watch?v=4vGqbpnfFko

watch this vid, the answer is in there

[aceairgt3]

Everyones so helpful! It makes me happy! Where is this?

[Iroquois14]

@aceairgt3 south of Kansas City

[p0psicleman]

doesnt everyone else park their bike in the grass?

[3niipeso]

U dont know how to ride bikes u dumbfuck u went mad far juzt to turn around and u went every where on secod not once u hit third

[Iroquois14]

@3niipeso You are a 12 year old pubescent boy that doesn't know how to troll properly. Go back to sucking on your mothers teet.

[0SKBooth0]

@3niipeso yes, its not like he wanted to make sure he didn't do a u turn and get FUCKED by a big ol' truck or something

[0SKBooth0]

@3niipeso yeah, its not like he wanted to find a safe place to do a u-turn so as to not get royally fucked by a lorry or something. if you knew anything about engines, you know that doing 30-40 in 2nd is fine, plus you're higher up in the revs so you have more power...fuckhead

[0SKBooth0]

@3niipeso yeah, its not like he wanted to find a safe place to do a u-turn so as to not get royally fucked by a lorry or something. if you knew anything about engines, you know that doing 30-40 in 2nd is fine, plus you're higher up in the revs so you have more power...fuckhead

[du4lstrik3]

@3niipeso haha wow, you're so lacking in intelligence it astounds me. fail troll.

[thecod6player]

@3niipeso i wanna see you even try to ride a sports bike trolling but dosent know the first thing about a sports bike dumbass go back to sucking your mothers dick

[G00g284]

@3niipeso SIT THE FUCK DOWN PUSSY you dont even ride a bike bitch

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

i liked the voice recording it was way clear and not all mumbled

[Iroquois14]

@GUNBUNNY2BG4U My trolldar is malfunctioning. I can't tell if you are being serious... I need to get this thing fixed.

[GUNBUNNY2BG4U]

@Iroquois14 I was being serious. most of the recording have alot of wind noise.

[bfmv580]

You all seem friendly as hell out there. Glad that guy was well enough to ride home. I like the guys comment at the end 'I told him not to quit, it only hurts the first couple of times'.

[theflipper321]

i love how the bike is at the bottom of the hill and your coming to help and all the guy is concerned with is your cam

[06yellow250ninja]

this looks alot like arkansas.

[rayshon]

"yeah that's just brilliant just fuckin park you know" LOL

[MrStrandify]

ofcourse it was a ginger >.>

[YayOrNay]

That will teach the kid to wear gear, hopefully.

[Alexela56]

Your bike is clamped?

[Iroquois14]

@Alexela56 I dont understand your question? Clamped handlebars?

[Alexela56]

@Iroquois14

sorry^^, i used google traduction... it doesn't matter.

It's the old version of the 250 ninja?

[Iroquois14]

@Alexela56 Yes.

[Contreras03]

what kind of camera are u using??

[Iroquois14]

@Contreras03 In this one it was the FujiFilm FinePix Z20FD

[drumminhockey4]

where are you riding

[Iroquois14]

@drumminhockey4 Overland Park, KS

[Elanzer]

But since he's on a ninja 250r, 5th gear for that turn doesn't seem too unrealistic. I'm often in 6th gear just following the 35mph speed limit commuting in town to save gas (only ~3.5-4k RPM), 2nd gear is only useful in parking lots since 1st gear revs way too high beyond walking speed. Now if he was redlining in 5th gear that would be a different story.

[RJKcool3]

nice job helping the kid!

[RJKcool3]

nice job healping the kid that was good

[NinjaOnANinja]

Well the point is more or less, you could have turned at :20 but you waited till about 1:20 and didnt get there till about 2:20.

It wasn't blind a few seconds up but yeah, its w/e, just good that the noob wasn''t dead.

[NinjaOnANinja]

This is one of those situations where I woulda personally just shot over that yellow line and flipped a bitch with the quickness to help out sooner. And if I get stopped, it was in the name of emergency so the officer could eat a dick. (if he tried to do something to stop me anyway)

[Iroquois14]

@NinjaOnANinja We could tell the kid was standing up and was OK, so I didn't want to create another accident by u-turning on a blind double yellow. You have to use your common sense in these situations. Obviously the kid needed help, but it wasn't a true emergency.

[beholdcaesar]

That's a really nice helmet cam, what is it, a GoPro hero? I'm shopping for a Ninja250 and thought I'd look up some crashes to learn from others' mistakes. Lesson learned, thanks for the post.

[Iroquois14]

@beholdcaesar The one I was using in this video was the FujiFilm FinePix Z20FD.

[KIMR76]

This vidiiiiiio - about the girl run a way and run street

[Motorius67]

eeek that didnt look pretty iv just done pretty much the exact same thing on my new (second hand) bike :( target fixation on the outside of a corner and sure enough... was a very low speed crash (25mph) because i was on an unfamiliar bike on unfamiliar roads but even so... ALWAYS WEAR GEAR my textile jacket was worn down to the breathable liner and my helmet was chipped and scratched down to the inner shell... i got off with burns an bruises on my shoulder and elbow from the inside of the jacket

[pancakeessss]

how did he even end up off the road there....?

[jedgq2]

It's nice to see you did that for him. I remember I bent the forks on my ninja 250 trying a wheelie for the first time because I came down on a curb (just when I thought I was getting good at riding lol), and had a guy help me load it up on his pickup truck so I could get it home. I was so thankful, but boy did I feel STUPID! Lesson learned: don't do stupid shit on a motorcycle!

[TheCruiser93]

HAHA he drives 5 min only to come back!!!!!!

[Snipza]

wow.... I wish people were that friendly all the time. lol.

[Sxybutchgrrl]

lol,..only hurts the first couple times lol

[bigal8701]

5:14 hahaha it only hurts the first couple times. ill try to remember that when ill go down. just go my endorsement btw :^)

[Dnr1gamer]

love the joke at the start but thats no bug its a asian midget duhh

[ripzoneify]

3:23, unfunny annotations are unfunny

[Iroquois14]

The internetz are for lolz, get over yourself

[kobepower]

good job on the help as bikers, we gotta look out for one another :)

[kevlarorc]

then again, 5th gear on my 250 is about 50 mph lol. dunno what 2nd gear on y'alls bikes do :P

[IamSwinson]

lol @ pussy turn around area ill just drive 4000 km and turn around trying to act like the experienced rider what a toss

[Iroquois14]

@IamSwinson Right. I should have turned around during a blind corner double yellow line. Fuckin moron

[Iroquois14]

@IamSwinson You continue to impress me and others with your ignorance.

[mrphate89]

@Iroquois14 well done for stopping man, shows there are still some decent people in the world... and ignore the cock thats saying you should have turned around on the blind. complete moron lol.

[e30Birdy]

@IamSwinson dude you are a tool... i am not american but wouldnt turn around in the corner either.. fucking idiot.. shit like that gets people killed... had some american woman that did that here and my friend went around a corner doing speedlimit which is 100km/h or 60mph and hit her dead in the side went into a ditch and hit a tree.. his ass is lucky to be alive and getting hit on a bike is not like in a car... so go get a life and stop feeling so strong behind your computer..

[mrphate89]

@IamSwinson grow up mate.

[SeriouslyOut88]

Cops show up to help... not bust you unless you did something wrong and/or have illegal substances. Good job. what ever you see in movies about our cops isn't always correct.

[lifeisgood070]

@SeriouslyOut88 When I slid out on sand at 30mph going around a right hand blind corner, the cop wrote me a ticket - "too fast for road conditions" even though I was well within the 40mph speed limit. Got it thrown out in court later with a few stupid pictures. Still a pain in the ass. Cops aren't your friend. They can only hurt you. Paramedics / firefighters help ppl. Spend some more time with cops & u'll learn pretty fast it's just a highschool grad on a powertrip.

[SeriouslyOut88]

@lifeisgood070 I agree alot of them are on for a power trip but the cops where I am at (maybe this is only because I worked at a gas station and got to know many of them) aren't so bad... they let me slide when I'm speeding or goofing off. just as long as I'm not endangering anyone. But, they may be alot different where you are.

[dioderyl995]

i just crashed last morning with my ninja 250 :''''''''(

[Muttley196]

Damage looks similar to my crash, exactly the same bike too!

[Napper85]

he went to put the bike in neutral and the bike was in 5th gear!!! That is a 2nd gear turn at best.... the kid must have been going WAY over his limit

what the fuck?!?!^^^

[whodare]

kudos for stopping. glad he wasnt badly hurt. looked like a decent drop off.

[TempFix]

this is a pretty sinful video...

[Iroquois14]

...ok?

[veryplainusername]

Props for helping the guy, way too many people where I live that would've just ignored it

[extreeeeeemist]

thats minnor i side swiped a guardrail with my 500 and repaired in it 3 days

[DJTDT]

Nice video,same for cam quality.

My new 09 250r ninja got smashed up pretty bad 5 months after i got it.Got cut off on the road by a freaking car driver,lol.

Probably should have been wearing the leathers,but i learned that comming off at 80kmh on gravel in T-shirt and cargo pants Hurts like fucking Hell.

[edomedo3000]

mhmmm recognized that throaty 500 sounds right away. (got an 05 myself)

[njones1091]

what kind of camera do you use? it has to be small and yet it takes great quality vids

[Iroquois14]

The FujiFilm FinePix Z20FD. It's an awesome camera.... takes great pictures as well!

[njones1091]

oh sweet! I need to invest in a new camera lol, I'm using a clunky thing with some professional features but still clunky

[abysal311]

yeah def cool that you guys stopped to help.

[JustTheRoad]

Its nice to know that people are helping!!

[Iroquois14]

absolutely... anytime I see a biker on the side of the road I stop and help. It gets a chain reaction going where the person you helped will stop for someone else in the future, and so on... the biker community is an awesome community.

[Lakeland88]

Glad to see a fellow rider helping out someone at one of the worst times in there biking career. I've been down and know how it feels, I didn't have any fellow riders but did have people stop. Seeing people stop makes you feel better about the world and your neighbors.

Good job guys!

[Iroquois14]

Yea I too have been in that situation. Not fun.

[RageFace9]

Its pretty cool how so many ppl asked 2 help:)

[GoldenOgre]

Sorry to say, but I am pretty sure (almost certain, 100%) that that bike is not a 250, and is in fact, a 500R.

[GoldenOgre]

Unless the bike was an older ninja 250. The newer ones don't have dual exhaust system, or that style of seat.

[Iroquois14]

Kawasaki redesigned the Ninja 250 in 2008. Previous to that, the Ninja 250 had the dual exhaust system and the older style seating. You can look up pictures of them on google.

[GoldenOgre]

Didn't know it was that recent. Only jumped the gun and said it wasn't a 250 because I have a 500R myself and I was watching the video and had that knee jerk reaction.

Anyway, it was cool of you to stop and help a stranger. And as said before...hey you need help? DID YOU MAKE THAT MOUNT YOURSELF?....Hey, I see that you wrecked your motorcycle, do you need help?...HEY BUDDY YA MAKE THAT MOUNT YERSELF?

[Snipza]

I hope that when I crash, there a couple of guys just like these two to give me a hand.

[Jmoges]

I don't know about that being a second gear turn on a 250 but it might not seem so bad on video. Maybe 3rd or 4th gear. I go maybe 30-40 in fourth on mine lol. Maybe he went in hotter than he wanted and panicked and hit the back brake and slid out? Oh well good thing it wasn't worse.

[fuzzydragon]

thats the thing bout motorcyclists is they always help each other out even if they are total strangers

[xBeauVx]

Biker gangs are a different story but other than that you're right

[xaiver80]

and that is why i'm very careful...i dont wanna learn a lesson like that the hard way...cuz it's expensive and painful..

[suburbanryder]

I am a cruiser but if a fellow rider on two wheels needs help I always stop. No exceptions.

That guy was very fortunate to not have busted some bones.

[8cuttlefish8]

Ouch, hope that doesn't happen to me any time soon. Good to see everyone helping out.

[tuber188]

"It only hurts the first couple of times" ... what a great line and how true!

5/5 thanks for sharing!

[ryanbrooks34]

Thats awesome of you to help.

[peaker559]

props for helping out that rider!

[twiztidcawcaw]

Ouch that sucks

[KTMsmurf]

that guy didnt seem to wear any propper gear.. maybe he had taken it off or somthing.. but jeans.. aouch..

[kuosion]

He had a helmet that I can confirm... Nothing else though.

[jjcvk]

typical squid

(^^,)

[Daeldren]

Nice riding shoes there Iro :) good to see you guys stopped to help him out.

[Iroquois14]

meh I am getting some track boots this summer so can it!

[Nk155]

hahahahhaha

[billmaa]

Great video dude, good on ya for helping him out..

[downshift83]

wow that sucks

[mr1night]

wow cool guys..that's your good deed of the day...lol...you friend rides the same bike as me...cool

[joeapple999]

Always good to see someone walking away from a bike wreck!

[roninsoul]

lolol i was just thinking of you deciding if you should help or just stand there nelson style aannhhhh haa , but that was prety nice of you , the mood was good interested more in your mount than the bike lol

[britex3186]

always good to help a fellow rider, no matter what bike or how new to riding.

[Truo621]

aww what a good samaritan you are Iro haha :D I would have probaly helped him out too

[sandes1988]

"you need help pulling it out?"

"you build that mount yourself?" lol

[Iroquois14]

"what?"

"you build that mount yourself?"

LOL 4 consecutive questions

[spunkyfl]

ouch.. poor 250 :(

[rolpal619]

Hey, Iroq. I used that joke all the times at work. lol..

[rebelyell91]

so no gear?

good lesson though. Glad he isn't wreaked up too bad.

good eye opening video

[Yeshua1Reborn]

well that sure sucks, but at least the driver is safe and wasn't injured, hopefully he becomes smarter from that incident!

and the helmet and jacket were in the grass at 2:56

[Iroquois14]

He opened up his knee pretty badly...

good spot BTW

[SailorMeff]

Deff see the helmet but the jacket... is it in the kid's shadow on the side of the road?

[Iroquois14]

Yep I see them now.

[plomarine]

I don't know dude, I only see the helmet. The kid says that he ripped the side of the bike, so is that a plastic panel (which looks like a thrown jacket) there on the grass? Anyways, one should always wear full gear, even on a 250...

[Itsreload]

This reminds me of those animal rescues on TV. I can see this in my head as one of those episodes. It's cool to see so many people helping.

[elementalrage]

haha hey look its my bike! wow 5th gear? Dude..

[Iroquois14]

yea thats a 20mph turn too haha

[SailorMeff]

I see a helmet on the ground but was there a jacket? Check out my video The Mountains Giveth and Taketh for another good example of riding beyond ability.

[Iroquois14]

Good question, I didnt see his helmet or jacket...

[matth1138]

first bitchez
