[bogan]

[Devil]

Thats nasty.

Or that could have been REAL nasty. One lucky Mofo.

[Mental Trousers]

Stoppies are way cool and most definitely not for amateurs!!!

[onearmedbandit]

Oooo...bugger!

I bet that hurt a bit.

Only a broken wrist.

[tigertim20]

ahhh, the result of too much power, and not enough skill at your disposal!

[imdying]

ahhh, the result of too much power, and not enough skill at your disposal!But would you want it any other way :blip:

[Edbear]

[ducatilover]

[xen]

[Maha]

[wysper]

lucky for me that my bike doesn't have enough power for my lack of skill, so we are ideally suited :woohoo:

Of any one here, you need the least amount of new ways to trash your bike!
You are just jealous that his effort was caught on tape. :chase:

[Mental Trousers]

Yep. The damn thing almost end-o'ed onto his head.

[Gremlin]

Well, that was a little unexpected :blink:

[kiwifruit]

Whey hey hey!!!

[nzspokes]

Your post cost me a mouthfull of coffee.....

[YellowDog]

Perhaps his other bike's a classic and needs a serious squeeze to engage the drum?

[ducatilover]

Daaaamn, he got off real lucky. Well....he got off yes.

Why did the bike camera continue on as normal? :\

[Usarka]

Why did the bike camera continue on as normal? :\

Because they were told that the marshals will deal to any issues and stopping on the track makes it more dangerous (according to some of teh comments).

Oh wow. Sorry, I read a lot of the comments but obviously didn't see that.

I thought pulling onto the grass after checking someone wasn't near you would be sufficient.

Same as in NZ, if something does happen, course control decides if a red flag is necessary. If so, they tell marshals to put it out. All bikes return to pits, marshals deal with the issue. Last thing marshals want is all the bikes stopped on the side of the track, as it's a safety issue in itself.

[LBD]

Wow...didn't expect that....bet it hurt his pocket more than his wrist...

[placidfemme]

what a smart bike!! It does cartwheels!! I could only teach my bike how to plank!

Believe it or not mate...some old drum brakes work a treat and are as powerful as!!!

In fact...they came on too hard at times.

[5150]

Did you check out the tits on that one? Oh, err, sorry wrong thread. As you where then...


Wow....:gob:

Power....? He was under braking? You mean too much braking power?

That brings back memories. Remember de tuning my old twin leading shoe front brake in wet weather and 4 leading shoe brakes were treated with great respect.

Hell yes. Drum brakes this large stop HARD. 246483

[SILVER SUZI]

Wounder what tyres he's got on there. He obviously has no issues with front grip!!:shutup:

[ducatilover]

It's known that drum brakes can be made to stop very well :yes: I suppose it's easy/cheaper to do a disk brake set up that works just as well or better.
Fond memories of the drum on my GN dying halfway down the 'takas because I was bored and sliding it on the brake. Got really boring when that shagged out :facepalm:

How many bikes have you crashed? :facepalm:

Being 22 you may hold the record! lol Do insurance companies see you coming and suddenly change towns?

Discs generally cool better, and are better in the wet. A drum brake full of water ain't much fun. I use a twin leading shoe setup on my RM400 vintage bike, and it stops as well as a disc...just don't have any front brakes after doing a water crossing for a while till it dries out.

[ducatilover]

Fair points, brakes are for girls anyway.
