mania Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm not sure if LiveLeak videos can be embedded, but this is probably the best possible outcome for a high-speed crash (edited- found it on YouTube): You know that is quite amazing I guess since the car was traveling at the approximate speed he was flying thru the air it was a lucky possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubberSideDown Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) That was a good video- pretty somber, but excellent narration and you can tell the person who made it is a really good guy (and a true rider- he had to check out the bike of the other rider that stopped to chat with him, regardless of the subject matter;)).I can't say I agree with his closing statement, but everything was still fresh in his mind- with a little time he'll get over it- I had a similar experience and- while I'll never forget it- it never made me want to stop riding.

andreandre Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Nothing much you can add to this..the video guy said it all...an inexperiencd rider riding way past his abilities trying to keep up with his dad..some make errors of judgement and escape unscathed... some don't escape..sad fact of life. Trying to pass a big rig on a no passing line which is there because of the approaching bend was his first error ..Jumping on the rear brake as he did [in panic] was his biggest newbie mistake for sure..he could have easily got through and still made it around the bend...Shit happens....

wantan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 If the shoe fits... It could also include non-riding, big bike-hating trolls that skulk around this forum posting nothing of worth. Says the occasional weekend rider who has so far done nothing other in this forum than making pithy sayings, bragging about his superduperbike and insulting others. I can hardly remember any post with substance from you. But maybe we have just different interests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1w4yR1da Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Or maybe you just have a lousy memory? But you're right! We have different interests. I ride big bikes and you don't. Not rocket science! Unfortunately, having something called 'a job' gets in the way of more regular riding. Putting 13k km on a 10 month old superbike in LOS is pretty good going great as far as I'm concerned but I guess the occasional weekend ride is a lot better than not riding at all and just posting constant criticism of other riders who dare to ride large cc bikes. I remember asking you about your bike and rides a while back but naturally received no reply. Edited August 23, 2014 by H1w4yR1da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It doesnt matter what bikes i am riding. I like all two wheelers. And i treat them all with the same respect. The only thing i am criticising here are the stupid insults you are throwing around in this forum. You shouldnt be suprised if such attitude backfires on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1w4yR1da Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I can hardly remember any post with substance from you.Right, right! I take it you didn't like the last 4 videos I posted here?How many videos have you posted on this 'Bike Videos' thread? Pray do tell! And you have the cheek to say my posts have no substance... It doesnt matter what bikes i am riding.And we all know what that means! Edited August 23, 2014 by H1w4yR1da Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Be honest, the moments you start writing something in this forum are usually the moments you feel the need to insult someone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebula Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 He had one crash I be seen but I think coz he was talking too much and with low speed. I m sure if he was speaking in English he would have had much more subscribers. He was also in the news with his dangerous speed but since I don't understand Portuguese can't know what happened. At least I learnt few words in this language.he is amusing though. I also had moments when I wanted to yell at someone for not turning the signal or not watching...
