i believe i read somewhere that that was his ride home from the dealership, he bought matching gear while he was waiting for the bike paperwork to go through, because he had to have tags before he bought the bike...

Definate repost, but a great deal can still be learned from it, especially for the newbies. Don't panic, and DON'T TARGET FIXATE [sm=nono.gif]. Look where you want to turn. See how he tries to put his leg down, for whatever reason, instead of leaning [sm=badidea.gif] .

The clip I saw before ended just after he hit the wall, didn't show his landing like this one.

I dont know what you guys are talking about with the Target Fixation on the wall.... Looks to me like he downshifted to speed up faster as he was taking a corner and the tires were still cold, Causing the rear tire to slip (while leaned to the left) and he paniced trying to straighten the bike and didnt continue turning. Thats why he hit the wall.

So it goes like this......Happy Day with my nice new bike...I think I will show off a little and hit this corner at a higher speed than what I am going. Time to Downshift....Cram the gas and lean......OOOOOHHHH SHHIIITTT my tire slipped because I was being stupid and its cold.....Now I have to straighten it up.....another OOHHHH SHHIITTTT....There is a wall im my path now because I am no longer turning. SMACK.... Thank goodness I bought all this gear.


As for where its at....The video says "Moto Psycho UK"
