talking cut.....lol good way to put a positive spin on things....people always talk to me about how im going to crash...i just say its part of riding on 2 wheels..freedom isnt free i guess.
It's always lucky when you walk away. I've had 2 also. First at 5-10mph front wheel lost traction. No real problems. Next one: 35mph low-side into a guard rail. Skinned my right ankle off in a pile of sand around a blind corner. You should see my helmet. Crazy that people don't wear them. Cleaning the dirt/sand out in the hospital was bad. But it's still lucky when you can walk away. I doubt I'll ever give up riding either.
Btw: that's a nice garage. Hope the bike got fixed soon.
Sounds similar to what happen to me, i just went down yesterday, i took a hairpin turn to slow so i tried to speed up but there was a car in front of me so.....my peg and foot got caught and the rear just went.
Damn man! I had the same thing happen to me last sunday! My 07 R6 is messed up. Luckily not as bad as yours and I only have a slightly brused hand. Made a slid show video that is going up sometime soon. If you want to see the damage let me know or look on my profile.
Jee-wee-Christmas!!! Thank goodness you didn't get more seriously injured!! This is a good reminder to everyone about the inherrent dangers of our chosen mode of transport. Thank you for sharing this humbling experience!
hey dude wow this is exactly what i just did same accident except all my damage was left side and i was going about 20mph cuz i whaled on the throttle going into an s curve only had the bike one day tire shot out around my left side and it flipped me off went sailing down the street on my back after i tumbled couple times and i remember looking back at my bike watching it spin on the ground on its left side but all is said and done and gettn it fixed. keep up the cool vids bro- micah
lol ya i wreck my bike thats why it had a new fiber glass body on it. i painted and sold it. once i fixed it. ya it shouldnt cost that much to fix your bike exp for the wires and the pipe ouch.
Yah know, Nick is really a good man. He advises other riders about throttle savvy and awareness, in turns? That's thoughtfull/unselfish. Thank you Nick. Oh, and the "talking" cut makes me laugh. Heal up soon, bro.
Yah man, I gave it too much gas in that turn for the condition of the road and my tires. Thanks for the well wishes. You're up EARLY on a Saturday dude!
Yeah I am up early. . .and I don't know why. But just wanted to clarify to other readers. I don't mean Nicks' cut is funny. It's just the way he plays with it, looks like its talking. That is what i find funny. peace.
i have almost exactly the same scar on my right knee from my last accident...but it took me two months to be able to ride again, and i still feel it 18moths after the accident. bike doesn't look that bad, but take your time with a knee
At least you got up man, some of us aren't that lucky. Been down twice myself and it's certainly not pleasant. Get her back together and be careful on slow rights, they still make me uncomfortable.
I wish I had taken a video of my knee. I didn't think to at the time. The hardest thing about this is not being able to ride. Don't try to rush the healing process. I kept ripping stitches trying to get back to normal. It just makes it longer. Well good thing is no knee surgery.
Sorry man!! i'm also stoked that you didn't break any bones! After seeing this vid, I'm very fortunate that I didn't do the same cuz I cruised around De Luz (North of Fallbrook & West of Temecula) Hopefully I'll be able to down load cuz it's 12:19 long. It's pretty boring to say the least cuz the road was crazy (steep incline & decline, sharp turns, jacked up road, and you can say i was dirtbike riding). I don't have the software to edit it but just scope it out. I'll call it De Luz Cruise. HA
I'm sorry to hear that nick, at least the bike is repairable though, are you going to notify your insurance company? damn that 10r was gorgeous too, at least maybe when you fix it you can do a little customizing ;)
Glad your OK Cat!!!! Lots of sand & gravel along the roads & at turns here by the Gulf. It's one of the biggest contributors to down riders. Hit the throttle or the brake at the wrong time & your going for a ride. I learned that at a slow speed on my last bike. Thankfully the bike & I just ended up with a few scratches. Stay safe & always wear your gear.
crashed my bike just before christmas on a corner and hit the curb and it is a right off as both me and it flew into a car coming the other way luckly i walked away with a just a sore knee but the bike is a right off. as you say all part of the sport it cannot be helped most of the time. i have lost 2 friends to motorcycle accident but it can not be helped. keep safe guys stay riding untill the end.
Damn.. Nick, good thing you are alright. Was this after the rain?
This is what I'm afraid. The main street I turn left to go to work and back is full of pepples and sand around my place from the recent street renovation.
Glad your ok man. Everyday you ride, you never know whats going to happen, but being prepared for it is the best thing you can do. You were always geared up and you protected your bike with frame sliders. Some people do neither, which is sad. Gear up people!
I've heard of about 10 motorcycle crashes in SD or around in the past month or so. All 10 serious crashes, couple of fatalities.
So be careful out there guys, I know you guys are down here so I tend to always keep an eye on the description of the bikers. Ppl in SD dont know how to drive either, so just be careful, specially with the upcoming rain.
Glad your not dead pal! People will say "Oh it was on 10mph" but you could've easily been hit by another road user, hopefully we'll all see you back in good shape and out on the road again very soon! Shame about the bike & of course the crash overall!
hey man, first and foremost glad that you are alright...the bike is always secondary to that...but i know the feeling....like you im one of the riders that has been down and i saw my bike totalled...glad you are alright and hope see more vids of you back out on the road....remember, the rubber goes on the ground and the plastic in the air
Yeah Im going to wait till mine is payed off before I do any mods to it. Just in case I crash, I wont have to have the burden of trying to sell the extra parts :/
i'd just say make it a streetfighter to not worry about the front fairing. and a new gas tank isn't all that expensive really. new frame slider. the exhaust - i dunno what to tell you. sorry to hear about that man :( i hope your recovery goes well and i hope your bike situation works itself out smoothly
sucks that so much damaged happened at such a low speed. I just upgraded to a 600 so i gotta keep it chill till i wear my new tires in. Hope you and your bike get back out on the road man!
It's humbling for me to see a far superior rider come off at such low speed. For me, in a 30mph accident a while back it was as embarrassing and frustrating as anything else. Good to hear you are okay.
Hope the bike is okay too, it would be sad to loose her.
Looks like you fucked up your tank pretty good, good thing it wasn't a yamaha lol. Any frame or fork damage? Those curbs can be unforgiving. Doesn't look too bad from the camera
Living in Ramona, there is dirt and debris on every corner. Has taught me to be really cautious with the throttle on city street corners. Glad you are OK. Looking back, was there anything you could have done to prevent this? May help other riders.... Also, that back tire looked really fresh and new, was it? Good luck.
Hey man! Head up! I am sorry for the bike and the little stitching, but there is almost nothing that can be too bad. There is always someone with more problems!
Duuuuude, that sucks! I fuckin loved that bike man. I'm glad you're alright, you didn't get too banged up. At least you still have your videos though, so you can remember what a beast she was! =) Get well soon.
that sucks dude glad your ok though that's the important thing. The newer sportsbikes never stand crashes very well plastic is so light and thin and so angular, older sportsbikes just graize
is that covered by your insurance?
