@akima while I was in the air flying off my bike my thoughts were "are you ****ing kidding me". Then it was "oOoOo my leg feels like jello"

It was mostly anger at the other party, idk how I would react of I caused my own accident tho I'm sure I'll find out one day

EthioKnight · July 30th, 2012, 02:52 PM

I feel bad for the bike...as for the rider, a modular helmet? really?? no respect.

Jiggles · July 30th, 2012, 02:56 PM

Oh I forgot, I had a plan for when I crash the ninjette. My first accident I was going to make sure I got up and celebrated jumping around my first accident

its mostly self-loathing, disappointment, adrenaline, and a new found sense of the reality about your own skills (or lack thereof)

I remember feeling disbelief when I was crashing. Like... 'this can't be happening... I'm crashing my motorcycle and there's nothing I can do at this point to make this not happen!'. I was very lucky with my crash... Jiggles... not so much

I would count the guy in that video to be very lucky too. The way I see it, if you can walk away from a crash, all in tact then you've done really well. Being able to recover some of your bike from a crash is just a bonus. In seriousness, I do agree with @Racer x: better to crash a £4000 ninjette than a £9000 supersport.

It's because he's a stubborn little 15 year old that doesn't get super butt hurt when criticized. He will be forever n00b on his r6 but I think we can all accept him as a ninjette.org member

nickjpass · July 30th, 2012, 07:55 PM

Why no respect if he's wearing a modular? Shouldn't matter...if he's a good friendly rider...you can still respect him. If I wore a pair of short gloves instead of gauntlets would you automatically shun me?

That guys swings his fist and shouts f**k.

The average ninjette member is more likely to pause for a moment before dropping to her/his knees and billowing a single syllable word, to be heard for miles... "NOOOOOOOOOoooo"

Thanks for not mentioning me in the "spent took much money on his pregen and calls it pretty" category

I'm not entirely sure how i would react to wrecking. Seeing as my version of wrecking a mountain bike (i have much experience in this area) usually involves bouncing back up, hooting and hollering, ready to go back at it and full of adrenaline, followed by pain and blood 15 minutes later, wrecking my ninjette might not be all that heart breaking right away.

Jiggles on the other hand seems to strongly dislike me for some reason. The only posts he has made toward or about me since my lowside over 4 months ago have been hostile and insulting.

Some people can't take jokes

I don't dislike you saxnbass, in fact your story helped me alot. See instead of going through the whole crash 250 get 600 crash 600 get 1000, you're story helped me realize I can just go straight to the 1000. So thank you

No lie there are 100's of crashes on youtube from this one curve, i feel that it should almost have it's own thread.

TheDementedDrummer · January 9th, 2013, 08:14 AM

That looked like bad throttle control, or was it something else?

nycsteve · January 9th, 2013, 08:32 AM

With the exception of video #3, they all looked kind of fine. What the hell happened? S*** got ugly real fast!

subxero · January 9th, 2013, 09:13 AM

Watched all of these a few times. 3rd vid seems most obvious, various adjustments mid turn to make up for errors probably lead to the crash. But this is clearly a problem curve, i'm sure all the riders that go down there make mistakes, but something makes me think there is something in or on the road that pushes the threshold just over the edge and causes a lot of the crashes where they would normally get away with these mistakes
Perhaps oil in road, the way the pavement heats up or doesn't for that matter in a particular spot, a small knuckle in the road that is hard to make out and causes slight weight/traction loss in the rear end. Hard to get good idea of curve from vids, maybe the arc increases at the end just slightly and average rider doesn't hit the curve right from the start to factor this in causing them to make adjustments here? IDK

But it looks like they are on the way out of the turn and should be throttling up, loading the rear tire. Perhaps this is the area where people are getting back on the throttle instead of being under power from apex or sooner, causing rear to slide out?

lgk · January 9th, 2013, 09:16 AM

anybody know where exactly this curve is, i tried looking in google maps, but can't pick it out...

bdavison · January 9th, 2013, 09:41 AM

I think its just improper throttle control. Nearly every one was right at the roll-on spot....problem is they all start the roll on with the bike at max lean, and rear tire already on the edge of available traction.

I think if they had held what they had a bit longer, and waited to roll-on until after they could get the bike off the sidewalls...they would have made it.
