All i can say is ouch... I'm pretty sure the guy bounces off teh bike which hit the barrier, then slides out and he hits the oncoming car and bounces off that.

"Pimp'n" ain't eazy !!

 

Bummin'.

 

yeah he definitely hits that car

 

i've never done a track day and i have ****ty lines myself in the twisties.....but it looks like he should have stayed vertical a bit longer and kinda late apex'd that turn. seems like he took damn near the entire turn horizontal, am i wrong? just appears he could have late apex'd and seen how tight the turn actually was, compensated and knocked off some speed.

 

I thought he looked pretty good, figured he might should get some better tires?

 

Interesting .. ^^ I agree ... maybe some stickier tires and he would have been good I think. ..The machinesays it all [sm=smiley3.gif]

 

If he was riding a little less aggressive, he would have made the corner and his bike and body would have been in one piece. There were way too many people on that corner, both in cars and on the side, to go in that hot. If that bike had become airborne as it went across the road, it could have been a very different situation.

 

I think he was definitely going in too fast... seems like he would've needed more room to accelerate and stand upafter theapexto take the turn correctly

 

The guy doesn't hit the car, it's the bike. Usually the body stays with the guardrail. What you see is the bike bouncing off the rail and spinning into the opposite lane, hitting the car and spinning back toward the original lane.

Secondly, his front tire washes out which indicates (to me anyway) crappy tires, not enough heat in the tires and/ or too much lean angle with the combonation of an issue with the rubber.

Lastly, Darwin had the last laugh here ladies and gents. Too many other things going on, what, with on coming cars, a semi-blind corner, a group of onlookersand a video camera.
