May 24, 2012 - what do you mean crossing crossing his body? I'm new to motorcycling with just a permit and laying down a bike multiple times

May 26, 2012 - I think you're stupid. He scraped a peg which may be the result of leaning too far. Everything else you said is ridiculous.

Dexi Says:

May 26, 2012 - I see you removed your stupid comment about 500km a week on sportbikes. Let me follow up. "[2] his not pushing his bike away from himself & bring his chin towards his inside line focusing on the bend" That doesn't even make sense. Also he is looking where he should be and his chin is fine.

May 27, 2012 - Is there anything the rider could have done to save it? What if he pulled in the clutch before tire regained traction...would he stilk have been thrown off?

DCTHEOFFICIALHITMAN Says:

May 27, 2012 - blaming a foot peg is like blaming the dog when your late for work, its a load of crap! The comment was meant for you & the point is ive probably put more k's on a sports bike then you've put in your shoes over the last 10years, so stop trying to insult people on keyboards, its a classic case of 'small dick syndrome! Fact is what i said is very relevant & anyone who knows a bit about riding can see his form is terrible & body position even worse {Not to mention he caused that high side himself}

May 27, 2012 - queda digna de motoGP

galaxything Says:

May 27, 2012 - I can agree his body position was not good, but the key factor in this crash is plain and simple.. normal road tyres! Road tyres are designed with durability as a key factor and grip only being taken into consideration with durability and water dispersion. The hard rubber combined with the high amount of tread pattern and the fact that these tyres have done untold amounts of heat cycles and probably left in the sun for extended periods of time.. All these factors make road tyres bad for grip!

Dexi Says:

May 27, 2012 - I've watched twist of the wrist and taken my share of classes. Trust me I won't wind up dead. You keep thinking you're sportbike god, and I'll keep going on with my life. kthxbai

DCTHEOFFICIALHITMAN Says:

May 27, 2012 - LOl no, i got a heck of a lot to learn & your entitled to you opinion. When i posted that comment i was actually opening the floor for a discussion, not looking to be called stupid. personally i dont think that comment is stupid at all, i stand by it but no doubt there could be more to the crash than that. Cold tires for one & possibly the foot peg... > just adding my 2c worth. either way i think its interesting to chat about & learn a bit more.

Dexi Says:

May 27, 2012 - fair enough. As long as you don't claim to know exactly what caused it and how you could do better, then we're good. My opinion is that it is a combination of many things, but the main factor is the scrape which is obvious right before his rear tire slides out. whether that lifted it, or caused him to chop or what, idk.

DCTHEOFFICIALHITMAN Says:

May 27, 2012 - totally possible... it could just be a cold or old tyre. i think getting low to the ground is just a means to an end but some of these guys want to get low but dunno how to do it or even why they are doing it. They forget that the main aim is to keep the bike as upright as possible increasing your tyres surface area which intern will give you more traction > that's the whole point! anyway, thought is was a good question [why he went down] & would be interesting to discuss.

DCTHEOFFICIALHITMAN Says:

May 27, 2012 - When you look carefully you notice it but i think if anything the shoe he is wearing gives no room for the peg to move & could of caused it to lock, in the end acting like a small side stand, very possible but then i think it would've lifted the tire of the ground catapulting him, initially i thought it was just bad positioning, but no doubt it could be allot more than that.

galaxything Says:

May 28, 2012 - Ye I know what you mean, if the goal is to get the knee down then just keep the bike upright more as like you say, what would the point of a low lean angle actually be in this situation lol Save the lean angle for the track with proper tyres and tyre warmers :)

May 29, 2012 - this is the reason why corners are extremely rare in USA...because everybody will crash. Go back to your straight roads
