yeaaaaaa i crashed my brand new 2012 250 ninja a couple weeks ago........going 10 mph (not my fault) and completely effed up my leg cause the bike landed on it lol. So im glad you were completely fine going faster than that :P
@SPLmadman Kinda funny you say that, I didn't think twice about getting back on, probably becasue we all spent so long talking about eachothers crashes and I was really glad I wouldn't hafta tow it back! Thanks. :)
@MATT131311 im guessing you live at home with your mother and most likely don't even own a bike. you should change your name to 40yr old virgin. Moron!
@dlinquencious WTF, don't listen to this prick. You were obviously wearing gear, I saw no wheelies, and you aren't on a 1400cc Super sport. No squid.
Im so glad your okay, and so lucky it could have been MUCH worse, my husband and i got t-boned on our bike in 2008, shattered my lower left leg, took a year to recover, and here i am with my own bike now LOL *sings "back in the sattle again"* im loving your video's tho, very inspiring! keep up the good work, we all learn in our own ways, glad to hear your going over the basics again, i dont care how slow it takes me to learn, i just want to do it safely!
@FazerWest Wow, that's a terrible thing to have happen. I'm glad you've recovered and better yet, you're riding your own motorcycle. How cool is that! I started riding on my own, my husband didn't, but I was having so much fun and meeting so many cool people that he decided to get one too, lol. Of course, we don't ride together cuz there's no one to stay home and watch the kids. :D
Can it be that you didn't lean enough, (im trying to learn here;) because assuming the camera was in the middle of your helmet or whatever, it looked like your head was straight above your tank (in vertical line with the bike, if you know what i mean) and while studying rnickeys videos ;) ive noticed your head is supposed to be sort of next to your bike. And I believe a lot of youtubecrash videos have comments about this in particular. (Plz dont mind my bad english btw;) Hope u dont crash again!
@OneShotKill3r The camera is on the right side of my helmet. I leaned but didn't turn the bike. Twist of the Wrist II is a good dvd or book for beginners. Get it if you can and ride safe. :)
I think you simply misjudged that corner...it happens and I think you also react right, not grabbing the brakes but waiting for your destiny..;) keep it up!
@UTH0UGHT Nah, never touched the brake but good guess. I know how to trail brake now but I never grabbed the brake cuz I was deathly afraid of highsiding before I knew how to not get a gripload of it. Lowside over highside any day though, you're right ;)
@dlinquencious It's funny how people act like they know exactly what happened without knowing really any facts. The only thing I noticed is you went into the median before you low-sided but you would know better than me if there was sand or dirt there at the edge of the roadway. I usually try to avoid the edge for that reason. Thank you for your service - I'm a vet too 90-97 Navy.
@oldNavyJZ Ya, everyone's a critic but its all good, just showin luv :) Ran outta road! lol. I'm sorry but I'm not the one who's the Marine, my husband is but thanks for showing support and thank you for your service too, Go Navy! :)
@dlinquencious Im not a motorcyclist jet (still saving up to get the lisence) but I was wondering.., tailbraking? Is that rear-braking when you feel your losing front-end to get the bike up again? thanks!;)
@OneShotKill3r Trail braking is something you don't need to know about as a new rider. However, since you asked, trail braking is when you apply your rear brake (not the front, never touch your front while in a lean) while in a corner/lean to re-adjust your speed.
Ive been riding for35 years,mainly old bikes which are more demanding but i do like modern bikes too as i got to ride plenty when i was a bike mechanic,i feel for those who are just starting and have much to learn.I feel its done wrong these passed years.people not starting on small bikes and working their way up,if you don,t you miss so much which is a big miss,to all bros and sisters ride well and enjoy , remember every day you ride you learn something,never too old too learn,enjoy.
@dlinquencious Glad your alright....& the bike I'm sure was easily, if not expensive to get back into shape...& yourself? OK, I'll throw in my 2Cs..Ideas?, 1 Transition from light to dark, 2 A small pothole right on your line, a distraction perhaps?, 3 A brief pause in attention?, 4 You just didn't get the bike rolled into the next turn. Have you been practicing your Counter-steering?,...weaving on the "dashed lines"....as practice? Again, glad your OK! Have fun out there!
@dlinquencious i started out on this bike and i have done the same thing actually on it lol and when u up grade get that zx6r lol best one out their lol and get rid of those damn battle axes i know you got on their and o with the CT2 tires from michelin
@dlinquencious because thats what Kawasaki's come with stock I’m not to sure about other bikes but i no they do and trust me those other tires are soooo much better than the battle axes they grab the road better
This just goes to show that protective gear works. I learned the painful way that boots, jacket, and a helmet is not enough. I was missing the leg protection (jeans do nothing) and when it was all settled there was blood everywhere. Worst part is the bike was kick start only and I was riding alone... Took me nearly a hour to recover enough to start the bike.
If you had counter steered as well as leaned there you would have been able to change direction quicker. At least you got away with it. Get yourself some good boots because next time you mighten be so lucky. Best of luck with it anyway
@BlueEyedBassist That's a big fat negative! I was so petrified of braking in a corner from stupid brc. There are different levels of classes and I really could have used the trail braking techniqe among other things for riding like this. Many lessons learned though.
Although I usually manage to resist their siren song, the evil spirits have sucked me in twice. On both occasions I was fortunate enough to find a clear, flat area while stopping. Haven't gone down yet, but did cross the oncoming lane on one of the occasions. Luckily, there was no oncoming traffic. Glad your get-off was 'just' a low-speed lowside.
Glad to see you are ok! We all have our learning moments, some worse than others when we ride. I have a few scars from my early days in the saddle! Good to see you AGATT and rockin' the frame sliders!
@kimber1911 Thanks! I don't know what AGATT means but it sounds good. Sorry to hear that you have scars from the early days, that's never a fun way to learn :(
@dlinquencious Yes, but as you know, every accident can be a learning experience and of course it's even better when you get away with it alive and with a minor bumps and bruises!
What kind of helmet cam do you have? Good picture quality and the sound seemed to stay in sync. I've been looking for a good one. Glad you are okay! ;)
@jay1002 Too fast was a factor plus I ran outta road :p Basically I didn't turn the bike as hard as it needed. I added lean instead and just layed it down. Sucked big time but I've taken it down several notches and am starting over with the fundamentals of cornering.
well awesome start. sooo then u needed more throttle n press then ahhhh looks also like u started the corner a lil late also. anyway wow good thing for that gear. like u put no yur bike squiding haaaaaaa. gheeeeeeez well at least it started up again aaaaand at least u weren't goin tthat fast also u would've hit that wall hoooorible. well keep on trucking haa
I noticed you don't like taking left turns as much as you enjoy the right ones. I'm that way too. Working on it though that I've noticed it. Maybe it was just where your camera was mounted but your set up for the right turns were much better than the left. Gotta work past that uncomfortableness and just trust yourself and your bikes capabilities. It'll keep you on the road and outta that nasty gravel! Lol Good to see you passing on that great info we get for free here at Miramar.
@jamesunderscore4182 hmmm good point, it may have a bit to do with the camera on the right side of my helmet though. I'll look into that, thanks. Sounds like your here on Miramar then? Did I meet you at the bike maint class? I love all the free stuff for riders here, its frickin awesome! Track days too! I'm so there next time.
@dlinquencious Yeah, I saw that the camera was on the right side one video too late. I was the guy working on my FZ1. I think we took the BRC 2 together. There seemed to be more girls than guys at it. At least you guys stick out because there's so few of ya. If you check up on the semper ride forum, there is always someone posting up the track day dates. They said they are shooting for late February. I posted a video of the most recent one tonight. It's a ton of fun no matter the skill level!
@jamesunderscore4182 Did I help with your indicator light? My hands fit between the panel so I was able to connect it then you tightened it? Is that you?
@Genfius hehe, probably shouldn't have made is suspenseful like that, it wasn't a joke but I can laugh about it now and I've learned a ton. :) Thanks for the comment.
@Ful1tilt I can but it was all my fault, don't know if it'll help but here goes. I leaned the bike over too far and didn't countersteer hard enough. I also was coming out of a right turn into an immediate downhill left, my speed was too much. I have a major fear of adding brake in a corner so I didn't. I didn't chop the throttle but might not have let off at all. My head and eyes were where I wanted to go. Twist of the Wrist II (cornering bible, get it). Hope that helps :) I learned the hard way
@dlinquencious You looked all good, you had your outside,inside working for you. at first I thought come over a bit more so you can open it up the corner a little more.
I think with bigger tires + a little more weight on the bike (bike weighs 138kgs) you could have tipped in a little more.
But with riding comes expericance & i'm sure you have been up that road since & learnt your lesson ?
Crashing isn't such a bad thing, check out my Jodrell Bank SV650 Run, there 'small' twisty's :)
@AZZ3R1 Thanks for the input, sounds good. I haven't made it up to that run yet, not avoiding it, just been busy. I'm getting full leathers soon though so after that I imagine I'll give it another shot. :)
I haven't had an off on my ninja 250r (touchwood), but I've had a ton of falls on dirt bikes and farm bikes. Every time, I would race over to pick up my bike and give it a brief once over, before looking at myself. I once did this after tearing up my leg badly, I was looking at my bike, then noticed a decent amount of blood on my pants before realizing my leg was f***ed! luckily it wasn't deep and i was riding again the very next day but, damn it hurts!
glad to see you came out of it okay. i've been riding for a while and no crashes yet.... well i was rear ended but that wasn't my fault. came out with only a broken foot alright!
@rankore69 hehe, thanks for your concern. Check the Aftermath video, those aren't trainers, Ride brand, over the ankle steel shaft boots made by Fox racing. They did an awesome job :)
@AbikersPOV Pressing is countersteering, I'm still kinda new to riding so my motolingo consists of what I was taught from the Basic Riders Course. I should do a vlog on all the motorcycle language I've had to learn. :p So, ya, lean plus countersteering is good, just lean was bad.
@wolfe1970 Thanks for pointing that out, I know my bike could have done it but unfortunately it suffered the consequences of me riding outside of my limits.
Really really sux when you take your baby down for the first time, lol...been there and done that. I understand now why my buddy told me just to go ahead and drop it as soon as I got it and get the intial hit over with lol.
@tribldragon roflmbo! That's a great idea, not that anyone ever would but if I could have gotten it out of the way and been guaranteed not to lay it down again, I might consider it. Thanks for the hilarious comment.
@pmrowe22 Omg, I always worry about that cuz I think people don't want to read when they watch youtube of course and when I ask others, they say they like the little comments :p believe it or not though, I tone it down. Anywho, looks like TGives above and a couple others marked it for you if you want. I'll keep it in mind though, thanks.
Gah!! Crashing, not fun. I've had my share of retarded rider errors, and some crazy drivers, but thats a whole different story, well we all get that, the life of riding!! And btw, if those pants you wear have a bunch of flowers on the top near the hip, they're the same as a friend of mine. And nice legs ;)
@PhappingCamel Yay, I love those pants, cept mine are no good anymore, the slide put a whole in them. Apparently textile is only good for one use. Time for some new ones or leathers more likely. lol, on the leg comment, what a tramp exposing my self like that! tee-hee.
Not sure what you mean by "not enough lean, too much press"? You either countersteer more or you don't, regardless of the amount of hanging off the bike you are doing.
You went in fast, didn't know how much more lean you could put in (WAAAAAY more as it happens), you froze up a little, applied a bit of brake (which made the bike stand up allittle more and lean less), froze up more, and there you go. Roasties on your ass.
@Badassbok Everythingyou have experienced right there is what Keith Code (founder of Salifornia Superbike School) talks about in Twist of the Wrist II. You did all of the standard SR reactions (SR stands for survival reflex). You need to train these out of yourself, by
1) being thoroughly familiar with the concept of counter steering (you may already be)
2) taking your bike to the track, and finding out what lean it is capable of.
You will learn more in 1 day than many do in a lifetime.
@Badassbok I know press may seem weird but press right look right go right. Press harder for countersteering? The guy in front of me had a hard time with that turn too that's why they call it the bike eater. There's a hard right then immediate downhill left that even takes experienced riders by surprise. No freezing or brakes here, no time.

I noticed you don't like taking left turns as much as you enjoy the right ones. I'm that way too. Working on it though that I've noticed it. Maybe it was just where your camera was mounted but your set up for the right turns were much better than the left. Gotta work past that uncomfortableness and just trust yourself and your bikes capabilities. It'll keep you on the road and outta that nasty gravel! Lol Good to see you passing on that great info we get for free here at Miramar.
jamesunderscore4182 1 month ago
@jamesunderscore4182 hmmm good point, it may have a bit to do with the camera on the right side of my helmet though. I'll look into that, thanks. Sounds like your here on Miramar then? Did I meet you at the bike maint class? I love all the free stuff for riders here, its frickin awesome! Track days too! I'm so there next time.
dlinquencious 1 month ago
@dlinquencious Yeah, I saw that the camera was on the right side one video too late. I was the guy working on my FZ1. I think we took the BRC 2 together. There seemed to be more girls than guys at it. At least you guys stick out because there's so few of ya. If you check up on the semper ride forum, there is always someone posting up the track day dates. They said they are shooting for late February. I posted a video of the most recent one tonight. It's a ton of fun no matter the skill level!

Can you explain more about what happened and how you could have prevented it?
Ful1tilt 1 month ago
@Ful1tilt I can but it was all my fault, don't know if it'll help but here goes. I leaned the bike over too far and didn't countersteer hard enough. I also was coming out of a right turn into an immediate downhill left, my speed was too much. I have a major fear of adding brake in a corner so I didn't. I didn't chop the throttle but might not have let off at all. My head and eyes were where I wanted to go. Twist of the Wrist II (cornering bible, get it). Hope that helps :) I learned the hard way
dlinquencious 1 month ago
@dlinquencious You looked all good, you had your outside,inside working for you. at first I thought come over a bit more so you can open it up the corner a little more.
I think with bigger tires + a little more weight on the bike (bike weighs 138kgs) you could have tipped in a little more.
But with riding comes expericance & i'm sure you have been up that road since & learnt your lesson ?
Crashing isn't such a bad thing, check out my Jodrell Bank SV650 Run, there 'small' twisty's :)

I haven't had an off on my ninja 250r (touchwood), but I've had a ton of falls on dirt bikes and farm bikes. Every time, I would race over to pick up my bike and give it a brief once over, before looking at myself. I once did this after tearing up my leg badly, I was looking at my bike, then noticed a decent amount of blood on my pants before realizing my leg was f***ed! luckily it wasn't deep and i was riding again the very next day but, damn it hurts!

when you say you leaned instead of press.... what is pressing? i get leaning but not pressing... hows the bike?
AbikersPOV 2 months ago
@AbikersPOV Pressing is countersteering, I'm still kinda new to riding so my motolingo consists of what I was taught from the Basic Riders Course. I should do a vlog on all the motorcycle language I've had to learn. :p So, ya, lean plus countersteering is good, just lean was bad.
dlinquencious 2 months ago
the one thing i noticed is responsibility !!
if that where a man it would have being, dam gravel on the roads, or my tyres had oil on them, or a bird flew out in front of me !!
but you took full responsibility for it, good on you, thats how you learn from it :)
hope your baby gets better soon ;)

dlinquencious 2 months ago
Not sure what you mean by "not enough lean, too much press"? You either countersteer more or you don't, regardless of the amount of hanging off the bike you are doing.
You went in fast, didn't know how much more lean you could put in (WAAAAAY more as it happens), you froze up a little, applied a bit of brake (which made the bike stand up allittle more and lean less), froze up more, and there you go. Roasties on your ass.
Badassbok 2 months ago
@Badassbok Everythingyou have experienced right there is what Keith Code (founder of Salifornia Superbike School) talks about in Twist of the Wrist II. You did all of the standard SR reactions (SR stands for survival reflex). You need to train these out of yourself, by
1) being thoroughly familiar with the concept of counter steering (you may already be)
2) taking your bike to the track, and finding out what lean it is capable of.
You will learn more in 1 day than many do in a lifetime.
Badassbok 2 months ago
@Badassbok I know press may seem weird but press right look right go right. Press harder for countersteering? The guy in front of me had a hard time with that turn too that's why they call it the bike eater. There's a hard right then immediate downhill left that even takes experienced riders by surprise. No freezing or brakes here, no time.
dlinquencious 2 months ago
@dlinquencious oh OK - yeah that is what I meant - press more or harder left to go left harder and trust in the bike.
