Local event that someone caught by luck. Both riders are ok

amazing how both of them managed to do the exact same thing

also, dude should invest in a helmet that doesn't have immediate visor failure

i think they were entering the turn on the wrong side of the road.

That was pretty gnarly and those guys are messing up. If youre going to commit to that line for a pass, better get it done clean and ASAP.

Dang... that sucks.

Holy cow! I bet the bike is trash. Just shows another reason PROPER Gear is sooo important.

hard to see but looks like the flipping bike missed his legs by inches. Getting hit by a flipping bike is a guaranteed bad time.

Riders being ok is relative:

the guy on the white honda is one of my college friends. he tore ligaments in his shoulder and fractured his pelvis. and with no doubt, he was concussed.

the girl on the red honda also endo'd with a dislocated shoulder, broken humerus and broken pinky. <- that piggybacked from a friend's post

One finger braking for best control. It's harder to get off the brakes the more fingers you use.

That's about impossible. The visor does very little in a crash anyway. Watch how often the WSBK, MotoGP, etc visors fly off. We know they aren't using cheap crap!
