yeah, but that guy wasn't tryng to look cool, he was just trying to balance. the first guy didn't have a helmet and wanted to look badass, didn't have any idea what type of power his bike had. I feel bad for the second guy, not the first.

Did you try right clicking on it and saving it to desktop? Mine plays with Quicktime just fine.

Watch it in slow motion and you can see the physics of a high side really clearly.

Can't stop laughing at that first link, hilarious! :lol: :lol:

Jake D · April 27, 2005, 01:19:33 PM

Okay. I got it. Ouch.

So, I don't have speakers. Did he gun the engine and slide it out, or were those bricks too slick?

Looks like it doesn't take much to upset a liter bike.

Cold tires + slick pavers + too much throttle = dumb a$$ :lol:

Rema1000 · April 27, 2005, 01:39:51 PM

He gunned the throttle, and the rear slid-out; then it looks like he backed-off the throttle and sort-of high-sided. But if that was a high-side, it was a very small, gentle high-side! I bet he's just bruised (except maybe he rashed up his left hand thoroughly on the cobblestones). He's lucky he dumped it there, rather than a mile down the road at speed.

So...
remind me again why anyone would want a touchy throttle?

JetSwing · April 27, 2005, 01:40:14 PM

but he looked soooo cooool

...before he met mr pavement :lol:

Jake D · April 27, 2005, 01:42:22 PM

He did look prettycool, didn't he.

Ah well. Maybe someday I'll have that much panache.

Holy crap! I didn't even notice he didn't have gloves!
