on october 2008 I drank a few too many beers and passed out riding my YBR-125, I went straight to a traffic light, crashed the concrete base and was throwed away, I would have ripped off my nose If I wouldn't have worn my helmet, also I thank God I didn't hit the traffic light's metal post myself.
man im 17 and really sure that ill be a future rider (hv been saving money for a while)... i feel your vids really help to become a good rider :D really pleased i subscibed and w8ting ur next vids
i know that feeling. it took me few weeks to jump on my bike again after my friend and his girlfriend died in motorcycle accident this july. it does afferct my riding till now.
For whatever reason, people think that the ZX10 you are speaking of in this video is me. I'm not sure why people think that. But I'm commenting here just so people know it's not me.
Godspeed to your buddy. And cheers to you for being concerned. Keep it sticky side down fellas!
But I find that crash vids (even fatal ones) are the most important a rider will ever see (besides maybe training vids). Depending on the footage, I can scrutinize a crash vid for many details that are useful to me. It also helps me to condition myself mentally for those situations.
I find that too many riders wanna put certain things out of their minds & imho, that's when they become complacent again & susceptible to crashing - cockiness hurts ;-)
very good point...everyone does need a wake up call...even me...i guess if i keep vlogging at 130 i can end up that way....and yes it can be some sort of training video too...but i think there are enough ot those online so i dont think i need to post thins one.
Damn straight. All the gear...all the time. I still see people on a bike fully geared up but then wearing tennis shoes while they ride. Makes me shake my head wondering where they left their brain.
Hope your friend heals quick and hope to see you back on the bike when you've healed.
wow man wat a bad week for vloggers. 1 vlogger, his bike got stolen, terrorwitha9mm's... m13 is selling his bike cuz of the show by any means 2 and now this man sorry to hear about your friend.
im only 15 now and plan on riding in about 5 years but every time i hear about this i just think about whether or not i should ride man it sux =[
well anyway i hope you heal, mentally and start riding again soon
yea thats mainly y i want to start riding in 5 years when im 20 cuz if im like 17 or 18 ill but a dumb teenager going fasting and dying lol and i wanna start on a 600 too
rEcKLesSzzz................i have been riding for over ten yrs and not once had an accident......... riding is dangerous enough with out doing stunts or being reckless...i ride as if i am invisible and always keeping a close eye on the cagers around me. Wear protective armor at times and don't do stupid shit...... my insurance nearly doubled because there's a lot riders who think that all of a sudden they are stunters and racers just cuz they have a sport bike and mitchy matching suits..
Good one preaching about the gear mate... I made a video on pretty much the same topic some time ago... days later I see people who watched it riding around without their gear...
dont understand why it is so difficult to put on your gear...people say its too hot...well shit leave the bike and take the car with ac....each morning i put on my underwear.....just like before i get on bike i put gear on...hmmm very easy
it comes over to us as simple... we always do it... but you always have one douche that has to save a few seconds or as you said will claim its to hot. Theres tons of different armour options out there to so I mean people could always get summer gear... theres also the armoured mesh stuff that you can wear for motocross... sure its pricey... but how much is your life worth... get what I mean...
Just glad I aint the only one that goes crazy when they see riders without their gear..
In 2006, I didnt wear full gear but after I did hit a van. I learned my lesson how important it its to wear all the riding clothes/gear in all weather conditons and temperatures.
I agree about the sounds. I've been around a few crashes now and its like time slows down and it gets quiet. You hear nothing but the scraping and the crunching.
You have to consider though that this guy went down because he was riding recklessly. That shouldn't dissuade you from riding as long as you ride safely and are aware of your surroundings. I know you might just be freaked out for a little while by what you saw though
i understand the reckless part...what got to me was when i jump off my bike to see if he was ok and he was not responding....and blood from his mouth....it was me putting my self in his position and thinking about the phone call my girlfriend and famaily will get...kinda put me at a stop and think mode..how am i riding...do i need to change how i ride...do i put others in danger..and other questions in my head....but all should be fine..i live to ride
Sorry about your friend, hope he gets better soon. Riding a bike is more dangerous than driving a car obviously but by stunting and speeding you are just accepting whats to come. Atleast he was wearing his gear and i am sure his riding style will change; if he gets a new bike that is. I low sided once and it changed mine drastically,that feelin' "i may not be this lucky next time".
Yikes, dunno even know what to comment to that.
