Kevin loses it on cold tires near end of session. Thanks to Rudy M. for the great video shot of me being an idiot.

  • I can't see where he went wrong. Looks like possibly front-braking in a turn?

  • The rear end stepped out about a foot and a half. I backed off instead of maintaining the throttle, and when the rear tire regained traction it upset the chassis, and the front wheel tucked and threw me down. It was a cold day, my tire was not in the best of shape, and the compound (med.) probably too hard for the conditions.

  • I had a 98, sold it.  Funny this happened on my birthday. Hope it's up and running again.

  • Yep, thanks. The damage was fairly minimal thanks to frame sliders (T-Rex), and everything is being or has been restored. Sorry to hear you went down on your birthday!

  • Crocodile style= no good for vtr riding,

    prefere spider style.

  • look like you almost caught it. good video.

  • WoW....no kidding....glad you were sporting a Shoei......looks like so harmless...but dang...!!! At least, it didn't high side you to the other side. Seeing this....and your helmet today....it held up really well indeed.

  • That sucks. Well this shows why you wear your helmet! Imagine this without one, then watch it again heh...

  • Thanks for the info. I've had the SHawk do that on stock tires once. When backing-off, you have to move the throttle just a tiny tiny tiny bit, maybe a millimeter to avoid it. Glad you're okay.

  • LOL, whoops, I get it now. Happy B-day then on the 13th! The RC51's are awesome and can be had nowadays for reasonable money. I ended up getting an '06 GSX-R 750 for track days and the 'hawk is back to being my street ride. :)

  • *RC51

  • Lol nah I didn't go down on my birthday, you did. I loved my superhawk though, I'm gonna be looking into an R-51 soon.
