Derp.

GearMonkey · October 18th, 2012, 02:38 PM

I thought he was going to land on his feet there for a second! Ill give his front flip is a 7 since he didn't stick the landing.

csmith12 · October 18th, 2012, 02:45 PM

Looks like the airbag in the vette deployed as well.

Boom King · October 18th, 2012, 03:38 PM

Hrmm, you can order different sized prints and pick options for background and logos.

"Oh, that picture? That's when I played chicken with a Corvette and lost"

Anyways, hope the rider ended up ok and that it looked worse than it was because it looked real bad.

Unfortunately, another rider got affected by this crash. Looks like the clean up crews didn't pay enough attention to the oil spills and the other rider went down after going through the same spot.

http://www.easttnriders.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=41945

To cap this all off, someone on my local forum is saying that the rider involved in the original crash with the Corvette had already gone down that same morning. Apparently, he was pulling over to let faster traffic through and went down on some wet grass.

Damn, the frame right after the initial impact shows just how much force an accident can have on your body. I'm all for waving at people, but look ahead and pay attention, ouch.....

Domagoj · October 25th, 2012, 02:46 AM

Can this bike even tip over? It looks as if it needs no kickstand.

Poor fellow almost died because the ... thing... can't lean more than 30 deg from vertical.

choneofakind · October 25th, 2012, 06:18 AM

Another case of the rider being distracted by the camera.

lgk · October 25th, 2012, 06:34 AM

target fixation and SRs are a MoFo

CC Cowboy · October 25th, 2012, 07:21 AM

There is a little more to the story than meets the eye. It seems the gentleman in the Corvette was last scene at the biker's house, while biker was at work and wife was home alone. The rest is just retaliation. It would have worked out better (for the biker) if he was on a Harley.

Man, the slow pace of the picture switching really built up the tension!

I feel bad for the guy in the Corvette..he was like..evasive maneuvers!! oh nope..sh**.

himynameisjoe · November 16th, 2012, 12:41 PM

I liked pictures 19-23 especially! I'm sorry, but I had to laugh. I shouldn't, I feel bad... but I did. I'm also confused why he didn't lean more as he first started going towards the double yellow... I mean I know it's fast and split second thinking... but still!!

EternalNewb · November 16th, 2012, 12:45 PM

I feel so bad for the Corvette driver. And the guy who went down later that day because there was still crap on the road. That said, I still laughed a bit, and don't wish harm on anyone.

hybridkid · November 20th, 2012, 07:16 PM

. We all know it's target fixation, look where you want to go and a panic stop that caused it...But isn't laughing adding insult to injury? Just read that the rider was on ventilation support with a good prognosis but pretty banged up. If he walked away unscathed, probably deserves a laugh. But considering that this could have just as well been one of the members on this forum (or a rider met in passing) not cool.

Ytse Frobozz · November 23rd, 2012, 06:23 PM

1-8 Ho hum, this is boring.
9-10 Hmm... oncoming traffic.
11 ...I see where this is going.
12-13 Oh my god turn.
14-15 OH MY GOD TURN.
16-17 This is agonizing to watch.
18 Oh, maybe it's just a fender b-
