Ducati 1098S crash in London Snow. Hardcore race bikes and snow do not mix.
I checked the damage on the bike - there was very little - just some slightly scuffed paint work. One of the advantages of crashing in snow. It was, however, damaged on both sides so this was possibly his second crash of the day.

  • He didnt have a few grand extra for a car????

  • Its a £15,000 bike - add insurance and maintenance costs and its twice the price of a small car. There are many reason why bikes are better than cars for 99.9% of the time, this was the 0.1% when a car would have been better.

  • anything is alright just for snow for snow

  • ... Why would you even ride when it's snowing. The tires will be colder than dick.

  • @touge2000 Mate I remember clearly that day, in the morning it was a normal winter day, in the afternoon it starting snowing like crazy... no one expected that snow. A lot of bikes were caught out... I was one of them but first instinct was to release air from my tires to get more grip, it worked, I was going faster than the cars, made it home 20 miles away in one piece.

  • Got caught in the snow storm, I stopped over and took release quite a lot of air from my tyres, probably about half, had a lot more grip and managed to get home OK... only to drop the bike outside the house as I slipped and dropped it:) Droped it 4 more times... during the snow. Thank God my bike is an XJ with engine bars.

  • look at the guy at 8 seconds he looks at him and said to him self "dear God what is he doing with that ducati "

  • @touge2000 rain is okay pending on the tyres

  • Stop calling this guy a jackass, it's his choice, I did the exact same the other day because I wanted to test myself lol leave him to it, he won't go out twice ;) well I won't in the snow

  • you know you have two legs right ?

  • meh London is easy to get around leave the bike in the garrage lol...

  • this is what happens when you are a fucking idiot
