JK, sorry to hear about your bike. But... Are you sure it wasn't center of gravity shift due to unsecured camera and video equipment cargo?

Crikey bloke....can you do a slowmo of that....looking at it from the helmet cam one feels like he is falling a long way.

Is your camera ok (the one around ur neck) ?

At least you are ok & nobody ran over the top of you.

Freaky co-incedences..

I was buying a cbr900 over christmas.. The seller picked it up and on route to bringing it over, binned it and ended up in hospital.. I am just this minute back from the police station compound where I was trying to get the keys and finalising the deal (its still not fully shaken on).. Its also a blue tank (but silver urban tiger colors) and if I can come to the right priced deal will be streetfightered.

haha I like the 'AHH F_ARK' =P

At least you're not hurt (pride excepted) Who the heck builds U-turns with bad camber anyway... dam_n ministry of infrastructure.

Sorry to hear about it Jim.

Cheers brothers!

Yep the camber was a c*nt alright but I was perhaps also to blame for not taking the turn at a more shallow angle.

The pillion gear probably didn't help though

Lessons have been learned and yes it did feel like I was tipping into the abyss somewhat!

When I get the fairings back from the spray shop and fitted I'll fire another video for us all to chuckle about

Hopefully of me not smack-downing the CBR

So are you getting some flash JK paint scheme done or sticking with the original one. Is someone in Hua Hin doing it for you? Many of the U-turns here are aweful, they either have bad camber, or massive potholes or sections of bitument that have bubbled up or been patched and repaired 35 thousand times.....wots a bloke gotta do for a good bit of bitumen. I reakon a YZ250 would be better cut out for the roads here.

Good thing you were wearing proper riding gear.

Got to admit I almost never do.
