Sucks to be him.

racegunnr · December 13th, 2011, 09:17 AM

at least he's got a nice track bike now......

nickjpass · December 13th, 2011, 09:19 AM

He has spare parts for another bike which he took parts off or something.

gt_turbo · December 13th, 2011, 09:36 AM

supposedly $140k bike, but can't ride for $hit. LMAO! should have invested in some track days or Keith Code's Super Bike school.

looks like the rider in front tried to point at a road hazard to warn him. should have paid more attention.

94fiveohvert · December 13th, 2011, 10:12 AM

after seeing that video it's not surprising that he wrecked. his skill level is definitely way too low to be riding a $140k bike. what a wa$te! shoulda got a 250 like us and beat it around for a while before moving up.

alex.s · December 13th, 2011, 11:16 AM

you deserve to crash if you take a desmo on mulholland and try to drag knee. theres a reason tracks were created.

also, sucks he tucked his front trail braking too hard... need moar smooth

94fiveohvert · December 13th, 2011, 11:31 AM

not the same bike

definitely not. the first video has white on the top of the fairing. The second video has red.

pop0tart · December 13th, 2011, 12:18 PM

What is theis 140k business? Is the op saying that bike was a hundred and forty thousand dollars?

If so, that is just ridiculous. He could have 3 used or 2 new desmo rr's for that much, and still have a bike or 2 left over when he wrecks hotdogging on mulholland.

greg737 · December 13th, 2011, 12:22 PM

Looked like he just grabbed too much front brake when he saw the closure that had developed on the black bike ahead of him. He certainly wasn't anywhere near the cornering capabilities of that Ducati, was he?

alex.s · December 13th, 2011, 01:19 PM

you can see he was hard on the brakes based on how far his nose is down, then you can see he tries to turn in as he is heading straight for the side, but was still hard on the brakes... then he lost his front. i seriously doubt he grabbed a handful of brakes... he was just trailbraking too hard on the turn in... he is probably used to real tires not ****** DOT crap on a dirty road

nickjpass · December 13th, 2011, 04:04 PM

Ducati 1098r modified to 1098rs Superbike Specs - FGR900 fork, TTXr 46 rear, Brenbo Calipers, race electronics, Magnesium wheels, All Titanium nuts & bolts .
From the rider " this is a 1198RS when I ride it on the street I put the street side and upper fairings for the lights and the front wheel I run on the street has stock rotors because they don't bite as hard as Superbike ones" "and yes just about every nut and bolt is in Ti as are the axel,handlebars,etc and the bike weight"

"A" · December 13th, 2011, 04:29 PM

I see the rider in black pointing at something in the middle of the road, maybe the rider in red ran over whatever the dude ahead was pointing?

Anyhow, I don't see how that 1098rs could be a $140k bike, $40-60k at best.

nickjpass · December 13th, 2011, 05:03 PM

I was thinking it was a mistake as well.

nickjpass · December 13th, 2011, 05:05 PM

Apparently, it is a 125K track bike that had parts swapped with a second bike, which cost 35K. Not sure how that math works, but, okay.

Jinx250 · December 14th, 2011, 09:11 AM

After listing all the mods on his bike, he should have added "I did all these changes to make up for the fact that I can't ride for ****." Seriously, I blow through that same area now and again, and I've never once crashed. Maybe I need to be on a bigger/more expensive bike to crash out on the snake?

Nemesis · December 14th, 2011, 07:36 PM

I think you guys are thinking of the Desmosedici RR which costs $68K+. Even with upgrades I don't think it'd top $140K.

Desmosedici RR

vs

The bike he crashed was and is a 1198. Let me pose for you on the 1198

I think I've seen this guy ride his Desmo on the track in C group.

He looks to be okay. I really hope this crash has taught him to take it to the track.

nickjpass · December 14th, 2011, 07:44 PM

It's not Desmo Dav, it is also a converted track bike. He used two expensive bikes, and combined them into one.

duckracer · December 29th, 2011, 06:45 PM

I agree with Nemesis. My 1098R race bike was nowhere near 140K!!!!!!...More like 40k race ready!!!!!!!...Oh and it is really easy to tuck the front on the Duck, the mono block brakes are insane!!!!!!!...Love em!!!!!

nickjpass · December 29th, 2011, 08:33 PM

Once again, he used two bikes to make one.

SlowBoyRacing · December 30th, 2011, 10:29 AM

Well lets just say falling gives you more experience. Scratches on your ride give you street cred? lol

nickjpass · December 30th, 2011, 12:12 PM

I'm pretty sure it just hurts your pride and your wallet.

What the hell are you talking about? Is this the same guy who doesn't own a 250 and took a free jacket from others who owns a bike & needs a jacket?

nickjpass · December 31st, 2011, 12:45 PM

What are you talking about? What does that have to do with this??

Some of the funny comments...

"Captain Hindsight says... "You shouldn't have parked your bikes there." xD"

"LOL!!! Look at this guy in white suite jumping!!!! Get out the closet!"

100% right. The only worse place for them to have parked would be in the same area on the other side of the street.

TnNinjaGirl · March 5th, 2012, 11:07 AM

He broke the whole tail section off. That's impressive.

miss_syn · March 5th, 2012, 11:55 AM

No riding that home.

saxnbass · March 5th, 2012, 12:07 PM

So I saw this video a few minutes after R put it up. I watched it about 5 times and still have yet to figure out what he did wrong. Anyone care to enlighten me as to what caused that low side?

Alex · March 5th, 2012, 12:25 PM

Same as every other crash on the exit of that corner. Too much lean angle, not enough traction at rear wheel when throttle is applied.

dino74 · March 5th, 2012, 12:36 PM

My Monday quarterbacking. Looks like a combination of thing. Mostly increasing lean angle while accelerating. But also he unsettled the bike by re-adjusting his BP right before losing the rear.

ceke · March 5th, 2012, 12:39 PM

I amazed how easy the sub-frame (rear section) broke away

, and how far he slid

.

akima · March 5th, 2012, 01:09 PM

@nickjpass: Someone posted on another thread of yours (about your 10G friend) how sensitive to subtle wrist movements the super sports are. I think this video might be a testament to that.

Watch when he's sliding... he looks like a spider. The guy in the white suit reacts to him like he's got arachnophobia too... does the AHH-spider-dancer.

nickjpass · March 5th, 2012, 01:21 PM

Yeah...I'll show him these. I lol'd at the dancing guy

He rolled on when too far over, spun out the back & lost it.

If he'd gotten it a bit more upright before the roll on he'd have kept it up, by the time he realised it was happening he was down. If he tried a recovery he was going up & over. As they say highsiding is no fun...
