@Jessedoespoo exactly! i watched this video a year ago and figured they both screwed up in that turn. you can clearly see there was no gravel on the road where he CLAIMS there was. this was just a noob mistake. the dude crashing was just retarded.
A couple of years ago I over took a van who was slowing down to turn not seeing a metro pull out at the same time. my foot up to my knee looked like that and I wrote off the car and my poor sms husqvarna ..... the moral of this story is shit happens so its worth spending the extra penny on leathers because when you crash it fucking ....hurts and any real rider will know that.....
give u a hint .. when your riding in a group leave like 20 - 30 yard grap nd not 10 this is a good demo of what would happen .. look painful what happened 2 your leg though
Target fixation. You go where you look. I'm glad you were okay. I wrecked my 05 last year and walked away thanks to gear and leathers. I Was a bit of a nutcase on mountain roads.
@dmpwa Wait a minute, man, you're not out there rding anything any more? C'mon buddy, you should at least take a ride with a scooter or something - at least! I mean, don't you just miss that air stroking your body while driving a bike through beautiful enviroments? :D
Damn.... yeah bit of speed wobble started out of control with sudden braking in a bit of a curve and unexpected eh? But I guess riding that close to someone isn't good in most cases.
unlucky fall there, i thought youd made it til the last second. Completely not your fault. Hope the camera bike rider was very sorry! This is why I ride alone :P
wow the exact same thing happened to me except we were mtn riding and i fell 15 ft off the side. i have the same bike, same year and same color and ours looks the exact same after the wreck.
IM STILL RIDING...AND YOU ARE A WARRIOR FOR GOING THROUGH ALL THAT FOR 5 YRS MUCH RESPECT....ME I PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THAT TELEPHONE PHONE AND TORE IT DOWN FUCKIN POLES THEY ARE ONLY GOOD FOR ONE THING AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT IS
Damn. So your leg has gotten worse after the crash? Are you gonna loose it? After watching the pictures I got second thoughts about buying a motorcycle, but Im still gonna buy it.
@unico5616 dude...sooo much shit could go wrong. Just go to crazyshit(dot)com and look up motorcycle accidents. Accidents can suck, Im lucky I have made it through the one ive had
@CarionSF - was just a bruise. The leg is weird now; if I press to the inside of my shin bone; still feels like a fresh and painful bruise. The skin feels weird, too. Otherwise, nothing hampering mobility
@IBangedHerTwice - no, we are good enough to swing a LITTLE wide to avoid gravel in our lane. Just past where I went down is a 1/2 mile straight. We both swung wide to avoid the gravel in our lane ONLY because we could see there was no on-coming traffic. Thanks for your rush to judgement! :)
@dmpwa oh jeez. you didnt swing "a LITTLE". look at the video. you were close to the white line of the other lane! the gravel didnt come out that far im sure. but its ok. your buddy who wrecked obviously shouldnt be behind anyone while riding. so keep telling yourself you guys are good riders, but this video shows you cant handle certain enviornments - so you dont belong on a bike. but this goes more to your friend suppose, not really you.
@dmpwa Good enough is staying in your own lane. Fuck swinging wide on the streets, seriously-avoiding gravel(sand, broken glass, oil, etc) I call bs (bullshit). Only crazy people ride like that, get lucky and then justify the survival (avoiding gravel...) WTF. You could have died or been maimed had you hit that pole differently at those speeds. Sand or gravel should be the least of your concerns with they way you guys are riding. Now I know how people die or maim themselves on two wheels.
you should do acupunture, i fall down once and my arm dislocate and after putting the arm in the right place i did acupunture and never felt anything in the arm, i think you should try, probably your leg gonna be ok again.
Oh, iI feel with my left knee the same like you, I sould better say I feel nothing. I had a motorcycle accident in 2009, my front weel blocked on a wet road while breacking. Do u fell your leg now? please write me ! Greetings from Transilvania.
Live and learn, I hope you still ride, accidents happen. I know what you mean about the leg being numb still. I broke my femur and tore my knee up in a wreck a couple years ago and I still can't really feel my leg below my knee. After that wreck I gave up the street riding and just race and do track days. I'd rather be on the track anyway. Maybe some of these guys can quit insulting and start learning from videos like this!
You guys with big-sized engine have your ego bigger than your brains. Get a low-powered moped first. After you've become mature on the road, buy this ZX-6R, R1, etc.
The brakes and speed had very little to do with the crash. What did cause it was the fact that the rider who crashed was target fixating on the rider in front of him. The rider in front for some unknown reason got out of his lane. The crasher followed that line due to fixation. Therefore followed the bike in front and could not complete the turn. That's why it's important whether you are in a car or on a bike to watch where you want to go and not follow your eyes on a object in front of you.
I have that numb/ asleep feeling all the time. starts at my tail bone, and goes up to my mid back. Doctors cant explain it, had to take x rays, and they did nothing. Your very lucky! Cheer getting back up, and riding!!!
i lowsided my zx6r this afternoon, but not at high speed, bike is still in good nick a bit of touch up paint and a new slider for the side and she'll be good to go.
oh and i need to sand paper my mirror back, that will be fun.... not
@dmpwa Sorry for the accident too, but awesome job not colliding with the camera-rider, saw the back wheel come up for a second I think? Wrote my original post with a broken shoulder and knee from a crash into a car but looking at this again it seems like he was expecting a longer or sharper turn than the second (your left) turn was.
@dmpwa how much experience did you have before the accident and why did you follow him onto the wrong side of the road?
Not meaning to be a rude dickhead, (which is normally said just before being a rude dickhead) but your body movement on the bike, the little body lifts and line changes before the accident would say that you weren't that experienced at riding fast or one of your front fork legs had a problem and the bike wasn't staying stable on the turns. That could have been why you crashed.
@ti3nt - naw...not so much. I rarely used teh foot brake. Too much FRONT brake lead to the crash...see, I didn't let go of the brakes after the guy in front of me did the hard brake check mid-corner. Had I let go, I likely would have been able to complete the turn, w/o running wide into the gravel.
Hindsights always a bitch though ay :) But eah my bad, got them mixed up, footbrake just makes you slide out, front make it wobble if you pull it too hard mid turn right?
@dmpwa Speed limit my ass lol. but limits are meant to be broken. Had the same bike but the RR, had an unfortunate run in with a four legged creature.
dude that was fucking sick lmao i mean the aftermath of the pole, good to see you got up after and walked/limped away, but wow never seen anything like that before, thanks for sharing 5/5 stars
