Holy mother f#@!% sh*@!

[ckai]

Sorry if this is a repost but f**k me!! :gob: You can almost feel this dude go past. Watch it 'til the end. This is why I go in the slowbie group on track days so there's no inside passing. Still can't get over this!

Just to add to the non-believers...NZ track days are NOTHING like this!

[nudemetalz]

jeeepeeeeezus !!!!!!:eek5::crazy:

[nallac]

Holy shit that was close....very nearly a horrible mess..

[White Boots]

That could have been real bad. So lucky.

[MattRSK]

crikey .

[imdying]

Got to about 0:30 and I was thinking... gee, they go hard from the first turn. Bunch of muppets just waiting to have an accident, the last bit should've been no surprise.

[Owl]

That terrified the shit out of me.:gob: Fuck that was close!

[Mikkel]

Blimey, would you need a stiff drink after that?

[mynameis]

Don't be scared track days are safe :lol:

[Indiana_Jones]

Change of pants needed me thinks! :O

-Indy

[Maha]

Now thats how to out-break someone!

[MattRSK]

I agree, seemed like chaos from the start!

[DarkLord]

One helluva trackday......

[Brett]

Shit, I recall a certain someone nearly doing that at Pukekohe ! However that guy clearly had no idea where his braking point was, he was still really moving when the first guy had already turned in to the corner.

[Leyton]

OMG, I am so going in the Hi-Vis n00b group on trackday, that was insane madness.

He is lucky to be unscaved after that entire day!

[icekiwi]

You've gotta love Trackdays....:soon:

[SVboy]

Fuck!!!!!!!!

[ckai]

totally agree with this as well. Didn't really expect what it turned out to be though. I was speechless for a few minutes after i saw this. Imagine if it was you!! I reckon it would take you at least to the next corner for everything to set in. Then you would just about park up for a breather.

Still can't work out if that was a wall straight ahead of the corner and if it was, did the dude hit it because he had a fair few knots under his belt.

[Mikkel]

And this is why you should always check your mirrors before turning right... :yes:

[MIXONE]

And this is why you should always check your mirrors before turning right... :yes:

And I bet he didn't use his indicater either!!!

[kunoichi]

OMFG!! that's intense! I would have to get new leather pants if that were me! :p

[javawocky]

proof once again that track days and strong drink don't mix :Police:

[Owl]

And I bet he didn't use his indicater either!!!

Or wave!:no:

[McWild]

That actually made me jump slightly in fright!
What a frickin idiot... I would have pulled over for sure after that just to get myself back together.

[sinfull]

Well fuck me, there aint no painted grid lines or patches all over the track ! What are they thinking ???

[mossy1200]

Put his helmet on backwards and tried to use the force instead of his eyes.Maybe riding by braille.

[6ft5]

did you check up with him afterwards . . ie turning him inside out? :2guns:

[YellowDog]

Doesn't look like the other guy remembered to slow or even noticed the corner.

[DEATH_INC.]

What a bunch of retards.

[6ft5]

yeap that is about right, bunch of muppets

[DarkLord]

Looked like a comedy of errors out there to say the least... saw at least one bike on its side at the start of the video... wonder how many more came off and if anyone was injured?

[Elysium]

The Mormon Few at track day?

[carver]

kiwibiker trackday was it?
haha

[carver]

The Mormon Few at track day?

did you see our track day video?

[Jerms]

Do I really want to attend a trackday......:no: I think I'll give it a miss! It's bad enuff on the road!

[Elysium]

Do I really want to attend a trackday......:no: I think I'll give it a miss! It's bad enuff on the road!

Never been on one myself and this sort of thing puts me off. Hell I wouldn't even know where my braking line would be if I was on the track.

fuck off, its piss easy......

[Jerms]

What...easy to avoid this sort of riding...:laugh:

[boomer]

:whistle:

i recall 3 close run ins at puke like this...


What a bunch of retards.

funny u shld say that, the first 30 seconds (not the retarded intro) reminded me of a couple of blokes i know.. huh death! lol

[beyond]

Shheesssh! Bunch of bloody nutters.
Man, that could have gone so bad. Looks like the dude thought he was on the back straight without a corner, the speed he shot past.

Hang on a minute, looks very much like some footage off the last Coro loop <_< :shifty:

[ajturbo]

now if was bucket racing...

and i was there...

it would have been a normal corner.......

what the fuck's the problem???

oh.. it WASN"T buckets...:eek:

[toycollector10]

Going all hard out on cold tyres and probably a cold track.

One bike dropped on about the first corner then the other guy just about loses control. At the end, Valentino hasn't an clue what riding is about. Total chaos.

This sort of stuff is why I ride in C class on track days. It's just as much fun but a hell of a lot safer.

[erik]

makes you appreciate the "no passing on the inside going into corners" rule they usually have at trackdays.

[Brett]

I also remember you at Taupo loosing the rear end of the CBR on the hair pin entry onto the back straight, looking at that tyre, you did an awesome job not highsiding!

[cowboyz]

that is some crazy shit. Pretty sure if I was anywhere near it I would be finishing lap 1 and going home.

On the flip side, I have been to a few trackdays at manfield held by vic club and central districts and it is nothing like that.

[MaxB]

Wonder where straight ahead boy ended up?

Didn't look too good for him.

[Mom]

Fairly good advertisement for NOT doing a track day if you ask me :yes:

[discotex]

If we start posting some car vs bike vids will you stop riding on the road? Pffft come on people.

I've done 7 trackdays and that sort of shit is the exception. Only once have I seen anything I'd consider dodgy. Compared to group rides and dealing with cages it's heaven!

That's why you start in group 4 and follow the lines riders. It's nowhere near as scary as you'd imagine.

[Danae]

Woahhh!!! O_O

[erik]

IMO, the only thing that was dodgy in that was the near miss at the end. And I think it'd take some considerable stupidity/inexperience or major mental lapse to do something like that - not something that happens often (especially at track days with the "no passing on the inside into corners rule").

The fallen bike and the small tail wiggles the other riders had are just part of trackdays and learning you and your bike's limits.

[Taz]

Not many skills being shown in that whole clip. Think they need to learn to go fast on slow bikes before they try to go slow on fast bikes.

...and apart from going balls-out on cold tyres...

[coffeejunkie]

Nice save by the guy at the start and the it's like Fuck me!

[cambridgedan]

that was crazy, the whole video looked like an accident waiting to happen tho :eek:

[laserracer]

SSShhitt how close was that !

[HenryDorsetCase]

I think in a NZ trackday that wouldnt happen. Shitforbrains clearly had no idea being out in that group. Plus if that was me that the guy nearly took out he would get a punch in the goddamn face even if I had to climb on a stepladder to do it.

dont let it put you off trackdays. they are very well organised in NZ and esp for newbs, are very tightly controlled.

I sent that vid to a guy I know who is a UK biker whose response was along the lines of UK trackdays being full of racer wannabes. Plus they are majorly expensive.

Word...........

[rocketman1]

Yes that worries me about trackdays with lots of newbies about, that can go fast but cannot stop.
I had some (idiot) on a gutless silver Triumph almost take me out at Taupo a few years back, he was going to fast for the corner to try and make up time, almost took out my back wheel, my bike had only done 1500km at that stage , f..k I would have been one sour dude had he made contact..

[buell]

I wonder if the guy missing the corner went to buy a lotto ticket? ....... Once he pulled the seat out of his arse, me be thinking!
