R.I.P. Yamaha R6

Crashed into a ditch doing about 60mph while riding with a buddy and his dad. GoPro was running the entire time. Came in way too hot into a decreasing radius corner. How I landed on my feet I'll never know. 16 stitches to fix the gash. I got lucky. VERY lucky. Note to self: GET SOME FUCKING GEAR!............ R.I.P. R6

lol that was my bike, I was the one who sold it to you

[motoman4533]

@niasen HAHA thanks for the good times man! Sold it to a buddy of mine after the crash, it looks totally different now. I think it's got red fairings now haha. It's still going strong!

[niasen]

@motoman4533 yea, she was fun man lots of good times. Dude I let a girl at a bar sit on my bike and she dropped it, had to get new ferrings and and rear view. that bike has a lot of history in it.

[motoman4533]

@niasen haha did not know that! thats hilarious! reason #532 why you dont let girls sit on bikes haha

[NorcanDiaboli]

dude, you werent driving too fast, you just werent riding properly. Never EVER lose sight of where you are supposed to go. you came into that corner, saw it was tighter than expected and froze your gaze out of the road. The bike tends to follow when you do that ;)

You also seemed to be looking way too short, but that may just be your camera being pointed downwards. you should ALLWAYS! look FAR ahead ;)

Get a new bike and try again ;)

[MrSlowestD16]

That wasn't too hot... The reason you crashed is because you fixated, braked, and stood the bike up. If you pushed in harder and kept on the throttle you wouldn't have even been knee dragging and came out of that in one piece.

Oh well, shit happens.

[aminevich]

Ah bitten by good ol' fixation + grabbing the break!

[niasen]

@NorcanDiaboli you also slowed down instead of sped up. When you slow down the bike wants to keep going forward instead of powering through the turn.

[MrCastiel111]

@macfahad "decreasing radius corner," I love those, on a side note, they should give out copies of the Twist of the Wrist 2 book and video, it will save your life and change your riding forever, those SR's (survival reactions) will do it to you every-time.
