i'm sure *something* was undamaged... maybe?

Gorilla25 · September 26th, 2011, 12:41 AM

oh damn.....

nickjpass · September 26th, 2011, 03:38 AM

Frame sliders could have kept this bike pretty.

Vampyre · September 26th, 2011, 04:43 AM

That'll buff out.

akima · September 26th, 2011, 06:15 AM

Wonder what happened to the guy who went shooting off on the grass, in the background... no-one cares about him!!

It's almost better for the bike to be so obviously destroyed.

Back in the 1980's I used to work (volunteer) as a corner flag-man/safety guy at AMA road racing events. When a rider would low-side and slide just like the one in this video did, he'd often pop up at the end of his sliding and immediately look around for the bike. They're so amped-up and focused on racing that they'd pick up what is now a pretty screwed up bike, jump right back on it and try to ride it back into the race.

I saw some pretty bad results from this a couple of times.

Sometimes the outside corner workers would have to sprint out across the run-off area to catch and prevent (and I mean physically restrain) a rider from taking a really bashed up, bent-up, leaking, part-shedding bike back out into the race.

LazinCajun · September 26th, 2011, 09:33 AM

I love the rider's reaction when he realizes it's in 2 pieces -- that head turn is classic.

EddieNewYork · September 26th, 2011, 09:46 AM

holy moly!!

Jiggles · September 26th, 2011, 11:18 AM

Thats the quickest way to remove the fairings

paterick4o8 · September 26th, 2011, 11:59 AM

haha it's the damn grasses fault!

nickjpass · September 26th, 2011, 12:46 PM

Duct tape fixes all.

At least one of the brake pads is probably still good.

nickjpass · September 26th, 2011, 01:09 PM

Who was on the bike? He looks short and I was wondering if he flat foots it or not.

cerberusrex25 · September 26th, 2011, 03:02 PM

Bet I could still fighter that, at the worst I lose some money and salvage a bunch of odds and ends.

Malicious Logic · September 26th, 2011, 03:06 PM

Wow....that was crazy. At first, it wasn't really flipping that much but I guess as the bike started spinning, it just kinda tore itself apart...Definitely wasn't expecting it to end in 2 pieces.

gt_turbo · September 26th, 2011, 03:39 PM

thats an epic wreck!

NOT! Sadly, Triumph's don't crash well.

Lol it was a joke! But who knows. The frame sliders could have dug into the grass, and kept the bike from destroying itself. Then again, probably not

DerTeufel · September 26th, 2011, 05:45 PM

lol, I know it was a joke. Those Triumphs really don't hold up that well to crashes though.

Cuongism · September 26th, 2011, 06:58 PM

I didn't know they did motorcycle crash tests

Which make holds up well to crashes?

Wow. There must have been lots of room for him to slow down. He entered the grass area really quickly. I doubt it's easy to slow down on that.

massacremasses · September 27th, 2011, 07:33 AM

my wife asked "whats all that stuff squirting out?" lol

Ranor · September 27th, 2011, 12:42 PM

Imagine the look on the insurance company rep's face if you went up to them with the remains of that bike

akima · July 11th, 2015, 02:17 AM

^ This thread was worthy of being revived from the dead.

You know how racers often defiantly run towards their bike after a crash and try to get it going and back on the track again... I think this is one of the few times where most racers would decide: "nope... not happening"

* ... glances around just incase there is a welding kit on the side of the track... *

nope

psych0hans · July 11th, 2015, 02:46 AM
