***AT THE END..WAIT!! THERE IS A FRAME BY FRAME SLIDESHOW OF THE CRASH***

Ron had no brakes heading into turn one at Blackhawk farms. He did walk away and is fine. The bike...not so good, it was brought in on the wrecker in two seperate pieces.

  • I am glad I didn't watch this video before I went up there and did that track day with you . . LOL ! ! That was a NASTY crash ! !

  • Ive watched this video several times and I now safety wire my front brake!

  • omg, scary

  • I've lowsided this same turn at ~70 mph and it was no picnic, the grass there is not as smooth as it looks. Everytime I see this video I'm amazed Ron was able to hold on for even one second at that speed. The rest of this track has very little run-off too.

  • This video made made me cringe with all the trees off of the side of the track, but then I guess they tried to get rid of them on the run off of the turn after the long straight away?

  • @PseudomortalityR1 The thing of it is at least he may have a chance to ride it out as long as possibly and scrub speed, you have no time to thing about low siding it purposly. The possibility of getting severly hurt from a high side was definatly there and not the best route.

  • I want to see the video of this idiot drunk driver hitting someone and running,,,

    With no insurance to boot !!!!

  • To answer the brake question--his front brake lever pin came out and no front brakes. He's traveling at least 140 before braking. At least turn 1 has some run-off. BHF has little run-off in areas. Still a great, fun little track.

  • this guy is too fast to these brakes...

  • from the back of the pack to the front.....then right back to the end in just a few minutes....thats gotta make for a shitty day.
