Fucking cager...

[Subike]

ended up going where he was looking,

[Jantar]

he was determined to take out that cage. Note how in pic 11 he starts to stand the bike up and stops trying to follow the bend. By pic 13 he is almost vertical, and by pic 16 he is actually turning left to intercept that cage right where he'll do the most damage. Well done. (The WW2 japanese navy would have been proud to have someone like him as one of their Divine Wind pilots.)

That is some epic photography. Not sure who is doing it, but bloody good on them/it for rolling all the way through that:woohoo: #19 is particularly epic. Not only is the dude completely horizontal, but you can see his bike in the process of disintegrating. In particular the wheel coming off and the forks shattering (look at all that fork out). Brilliantly good photography! :innocent:

Bloody hell do cruisers have shit clearance/lean angles though. Pic #9 you can see the bike bottoming out, and he's barely even leaned over. Scared him so bad he aborted the corner right into that vette.

Shoulda got his knee down :scooter:

Deals Gap, The Dragon.

Another rider came off due to the fluids left from that accident & is in a bad way in hospital. They go down like flies..

Checkout Killboy (http://www.killboy.com/) for a gazillion more shots.

[Geeen]

Yup, that other rider is not in a good way, fractured skull, assorted breaks etc. The general consensus on the other forum is the cruiser rider was hamming it up for the camera, stuffed the corner up, grounded his footboards, shat himself and stood the bike up. Such a shame to destroy a nice bike like that, apparently he walked sway with a fractured wrist, but I could be wrong......

I see two problems there:

1. He waved.

2. He's on a Harley.

3. He found a corner.

4. There were other vehicles on the same road.

5. There was a camera involved.



Obviously a multi-factor accident.

Whatever it is, he was never gonna make it...looks pretty decked out in pic 9
Notice he let the brakes off momentarily in pic 16...

This is how they do it on a Harley.

Oh christ!
I'm not apoligising though, not keen on the parallel twin Thunderbirds, just another Harley clone. At least an HD is original. :nono:

The thunderbird should have been a Triple like it's predecessor.

Hmmmm, but in this case the knob riding the bike lost it whilst waving to the camera, stood the bike up, crossed the centre line and ran into the front of the cager.....

It was posted a few days ago, there is a series of pics that lead up to that one that clearly shows what a wanker said biker is.

Really? Wanker? You reckon? That's harsh, man. I saw the series of pics (elsewhere - didn't realise this was a repost) and I didn't think 'wanker', I just thought 'n00b'. He's not a bad person, he just hasn't learned how to ride a motorbike properly.

Be careful with your criticism; there but for the grace of God go you, etc.

[ducatilover]

Be careful with your criticism;
Totally the cagers fault, I bet the cunt was a cop, a black man and racist.
I can tell it's his fault even though the biker rode in to him, because this is teh interwebs.

In my view, he is a wanker...somewhat ashen looking and clearly, no where near enough badges for a armchair pilot.

Oh, are we talking about masturbation, rather than being an immoral, selfish or otherwise unworthy individual? Fair call. 98% of guys are wankers and the other 2% lie about it, etc.


somewhat ashen looking

I believe your implication that pasty skin is indicative of wanking to be false. I masturbate constantly every summer, but I still go brown as fuck.

I paid my US$7 for the full res copy off the camera of that bin shot cos I just love it (my OP in this thread is a crop-and-resize).

Not sure what I'll ever do with it, but I'm happy to just have it in my archives...

Does anyone actually call cars 'cagers' in real life? What's wrong with 'car'? Or is it just to make us all sound like ruthless bikers? :headbang:

I will clue you in, because you are new and innocent.

Any use of the term 'cagers' on KB is because:

(a) the poster just got here and has been reading too many idiotic American motorcycling forums; or

(b) the poster is taking the piss.

Which of the above applies to this thread is left as an exercise for the reader.

[Drew]

We call cars cages from time to time. Don't call drivers "cagers" though.

An important distinction, which I missed in my haste to post a sardonic response.

I'm not as new as you think... First time I've ever mentioned it, but I've always thought:

'Cagers huh? I bet 90% of those that use the term frequently drive a car or are new to motorbikes, but pretend like they live the hardcore biker lifestyle.'

Haha but yeah, fuck cagers!*

*I drive cars far more often than I ride bikes.

[Road kill]

Not really a cage though,,I mean it hasn't even got a roof.

Guess that means,,"fuckin' quads",,,an old white yanks wif more money than me.:brick:

[Usarka]

Stop. Hammer time.

i lold so hard.

[mashman]

Look no hands maw. After lookin at the series, was that target fixation or target locked, attaaaaaaack?

[Coolz]

The rider has no skills. Hasn't done his time on a smaller bike.

[Drew]

Fuck, I cunting hate, shitwhore bloggers!

[Oakie]

Real good example of target fixation for newbies. Looking at the camera on the other side of the road and look where he finished up ... on the other side of the road.

I got the impression that:

1. The camera distracted him from the upcoming corner and caused him to forget the 'braking' part and overcook it,

2. He started going round as best he could, probably would have made it OK without much more than brown trousers, but

3. He saw the Corvette and fixated, boom.

If you look at how far away from the centerline the Corvette driver got before the bike hit him, I'd say if our fearless rider had just torn his eyes off the car and carried on around the corner, he would've been on the wrong side of the centerline for a wee bit, but nobody would've binned.

I think he browned his trousers and gave up the corner when his bike used up its 10cm of cornering clearance and grounded out. Then he proceeded to kamikaze the hell out of the corvette.

Funny series of pictures though. I still giggle looking through them.

[Swoop]

It was a good thing that Corvette was there, otherwise he would have ridden off the side of the hill...

I certainly agree with 2 and 3. You can see him straighten off the big lean over the centre line and head towards the Corvette instead.

[Coolz]

Target fixation is a powerful thing. I'm sure every farmer has a 'One trough in a five acre paddock and he drives into it' story.

[pzkpfw]

Every time I ever played Soccer, I passed the ball very nicely to the opposition goalie.

Made target fixation very understandable, later on.

Ruth must have been a cage driver ...

[Banditbandit]

Does anyone actually call cars 'cagers' in real life?

Yeah .. ocassionally I slip and people look at me strange and I have to explain what "cage" means ... or sometimes 'tintop" ... and it's "cage" or "cages" (plural) .. but never "cagers" ...



What's wrong with 'car'?

Nothing really .. it's got to be a verbal habit ... prolly 'cause that's how I think of them ...



Or is it just to make us all sound like ruthless bikers? :headbang:

I was going to give you a smart arse reply - but then I figured not ...

I would have thought a ''cager'' is the person who likes to cage? like a camper...one who likes to camp. A person/s who likes to camp is not a camps. But said person/s, may like to take the cage to the camp making said person/s a camper (not camps) who likes to be a cager and take the cage, instead of being a biker and taking the bike.
Clear as a clear thing.

But isn't a camper a type of van ironically used by people whom don't like to camp but are often found in camp grounds.
