What he did wrong? He got on the bike in the first place. Just kidding... kinda... but not really. The first turn he had a horrible line and, even worse, tried to stick with it. The second turn, where he ate it, his problem was that he was accelerating into the turn. That had him carrying way too much speed, and off the road he goes.
That's easy. Noob on a bike that's too powerful for him, riding beyond his skill level.
He has no throttle control. Did you see him take off in the beginning?
He also can't countersteer. He's trying to turn the bike by leaning. Look at his body english in the first curve.
The second curve (the wreck), he accelerates like mad out of the first corner (no throttle control), then is going too fast for the second corner (for him), and doesn't get it leaned over enough because he can't countersteer. After that, I am going to speculate that he tries to turn into the curve to make it around the curve, the bike stands up, and he goes off the side.
This guy is a total noob, probably never took the MSF course, and went and bought a 600 cc sport bike. He's lucky to be alive. Whether the rest of us are lucky he's alive is debatable.
Edit: Other possibilities on the speculation:
He unconsciously made a steering input because he was holding onto the bars too tight.
He braked in the corner (can't see his brakelight well).
:laugh:
Either way we should also notice the Camera man's riding. Check it.
He was keeping his pace in the previous turn and held a fair amount of speed into the second(crash scene) turn. BUT, he was able to keep so much control and poise that he stopped his bike at the scene of the crash and he was only the first rider behind the idiot with a twichy wrist.
Keep your eyes open and your throttle ready, but under control. Gaurentee he was too busy starring at his tach to see the severity of his situation.
I'd rather ride with him than this fool... :mad: :laugh:

Wow, that was stupid. "Here, I don't know crap about riding, so let me gun it!" I think I'd have broken his right hand.

That guy is:

I think in the first turn it looked like he started turning too tight so he tried to straighten up, he should have rolled on the throttle a bit. I think for the second turn he was accelerating hard to try to catch up with the other riders but then was going too fast.
He needs more practise.
Thanks for the input. I have had my bike now for like three weeks, but i dont think im that bad. Some of the guys i ride with from work tell me i dont ride like i had the bike for three weeks. But i guess to learn you have to get into tight situations. I almost fell we day because i was coming to a curve and i was going like 35 40 and i was scared to lean. i did not wanna make the typical noob mistake and start breaking hard in a lean so i just rolled off the throttle some and stood the bike up and off i went breaking into the grass. i was ok and all but it kinda scared me. I feel alot more comfrontalbe in turns now and i have even gotta my coutersteering under wraps. Some time nexts weekend i will try to get some video and pics of my riding. I think riding is something that everyone should wanna be criticed on. It will make me a better rider with time.
If you guys are going to myrtle beach for bike week stop through wilmington NC so we can ride out. :cheers:

I think the best thing to do is go back to that same turn and ride it again and again. Take it slow at first and each time you go round it you will see there is nothing to fear.

Thats the same mind set i had... ever since then i have taken it fine i just had to tell myself what i had to do. Its hard for me to remember what curve it is now because it does not even bother me anymore. I feel alot better in all turns now since i have practice alot and now that i am alot more comfrontable with the bike and riding it.
