Bike crash vids

[YellowDog]

I saw that one on another site with some more alternative camera angles, or just the same ones in a different order.

Isn't it great how motorcyclists end up producing the irrefutable evidence to convict themselves :lol:

Bunch of fuckwits.
Good advert for those new fangled air suits though. That first guy on the GSXR rolled like a weeble.

Crash vid

Even had the crash from last years formula 3 race at Greymouth in that one.:niceone:

[Berries]

Hope the bunch of twats on BMW's had a few cameras when they were travelling south near Beaumont last week. Would like to see the viewpoint from the compete fuckwit with pillion riding lead who was overtaking prior to a right hand corner. His eyes when the Ford Ranger came round the corner must have been huge.

Sounds like one of them guided group rides, seen some real dodgy shit up central way from those guys.:crazy:

[awa355]

To be honest, I think every rider that crashed was responsible for his own demise. Just plain stupid riding. No wonder insurance premiums are expensive everywhere.

How the hell did the first 2, and the guy at 1.17 possibly crash?

That's easy!

The first two were not ever taught how to steer a bike, so the ever so slight slight reverse camber meant that their reliance upon shifting their balance, allowing them to lean and hence steer, couldn't cope with the speed they were doing.

I am presuming that the guy at 1:17 was taught that, if ever in doubt as to what to do, grab a fist full of front brake and stoppie your way out of the bend :facepalm:

Limping + sneakers... correlation.

[Berries]

Limping + sneakers... correlation.
Poor observation + poor lane positioning + wet road + indicating a lane change just before a junction + being a fucking idiot for waving at a car driver for not knocking him off (how stupid is that?) and yet going through the same light even later + filming the ride = complete and utter arse.

Minus pulling in the clutch and tooting the horn which made such a difference.

His choice of footwear and thus resultant limp only came in to the equation after he had made too many errors already. Half a second later or a couple of mph faster/slower he would have gone through the windscreen and died. I still don't get waving at someone for not pulling across you. What are the chances of a driver having a fucking clue of what you are on about? Perhaps he did it for the camera? Perhaps like many of these go-pro twats he should concentrate on riding instead, get home safely and not feel the need to post videos to prove what an idiot you actually are. Dickhead.

His left hand was getting a good workout holding in the clutch on all those corners!
Would have been better off following those Harleys and learning something!

I was more amazed by how early he managed to apex almost every corner! No wonder he ran wide on every slight bend at snail pace.

I have been blinded by sun so I couldn't see at all once, I slowed down to slow running pace fairly quickly.
I was riding through fog on a 100km road, visor was misted, just as I got to a corner the fog broke and I was staring straight into the sun. I think I nearly hit a ride on lawn mower that was working on the side of the road, but that was certainly a scary incident, lucky for me it seems I was able to stay on the road in my lane.

There seems to be a requirement here for a defensive drining course :yes:

My thoughts are: Sun in your eyes, car in front hits brakes and slows down, should be a big enough warning to slow down and not run into him.

[Ulsterkiwi]

so he was accelerating in anticipation of passing the red car as said car was approaching a side street and got a scare and "had to lay the bike down dude"?

I am thinking its odd the Australian chap had time to flip up his visor yet couldn't get stopped in time.

The chap behind the boat with the depth charge launcher was doing ok until he fixated on the hazard, which was not that far into his emerging situation.

Having done that myself and ended up depositing the bike upside down in a ditch while I went for a leisurely bounce down the road I have a certain degree of empathy for fixating. I try not to fixate on my fixation now.

Accelerating or maintaining speed into a developing situation. Biker in the wrong, simple. Quite apart from his slow reaction to the cars' brake lights...

[R650R]

Accelerating or maintaining speed into a developing situation. Biker in the wrong, simple.

Quite common for dasmcamers and goproerrs... its like they deliberately amplify the danger to get good footage to rant about but overcook it sometimes.
Hard to tell but that red car looks like it did the classic trap of swinging the other way first to make sure their 90ft trailer made it in the driveway with them.

Up north earlier in the week I caught up to a beaten up old Caldina, we were in scrubby gorse undeveloped wild area (axle country), was closing up looking for pass on the next straight....
Then it happened the classic peel to the left like their letting you past followed by the simultaneous indicate and right turn into concealed drug crop driveway on blind crest....
I avoided collision comfortably due to experience but couldn't help think he would have nailed a less experienced rider easily.

The Aussie crash.... yeah looks slow reaction and could have maonouevered for glancing collision going behnd....

The lost cargo on free way, classic target fixation....

And a racing incident or two.... why are these guys standing on outside of a corner???? We don't need another OSH investigation ending another good sports events. The two filmers here could have been easy casulaties....

yeah I saw that on the news last night. Red mist is right. Two idiots. I liked how the bike rider nearly fucked himself by kicking the car, that might have been a good result. Instead the car driver did fuck himself by swerving into the bike. Crazy crazy crazy. And then taking out an innocent party seemed almost inevitable... :brick:

Yeah id love to see the earlier 2 minutes of footage that led to the biker kicking the car. Highly unlikely the biker just randomly decides to kick a car for no reason.

Yep, there'll have been something to start this off. Will no doubt come out in due course.

Dumb move exacting revenge by kicking a car though, at least have the patience to calmly follow someone who has wronged you...if you feel that strongly about it. A brief stern chat face to face is way more effective at eliciting a behavior change, and you won't even need to exact GBH on someone.

Might have been as simple as the biker being upset at the car driver not looking, whilst drifting into his path.

The very first frame shows the car changing lane, without indicating.

The biker did very well staying on and avoiding the debris.

I practice evasion just about everytime I ride but doubt I could miss that. The bike might be capable of it but me brain ain't. Way too much going on to pick an exit in time.

I think it was tough because of the wall/potential escape route, to his right, and he was also going slightly down hill. Swerving towards the centre wouldn't have seemed like an option, as it would been seemingly into the sliding rider's path. Anticipating the trajectory of the sliding bike is a big ask.

Swerving towards the centre wouldn't have seemed like an option, as it would been seemingly into the sliding rider's path. Anticipating the trajectory of the sliding bike is a big ask.

A premature ejector seat would have helped.

[blanko2]

oh yeah for sure im not saying it would've been EASY or even NOT HARD AF to prevent that, im just sayin it'd be POSSIBLE
BMW guy 100% in the wrong ofc

If he'd taken the centre line, he'd have missed the sliding BMW. Personally, I'd have been closer to centre than right, however my instant evasive reaction, would have been to pull as close as possible to the wall.

At what point he realized the bike wasn't following the path of the one in front of him, I don't know. In such a short time, he didn't stand much of a chance. His good fortune however was that he landed on the road, without hitting the wall, on the way down.

and neither of them seemed too harmed either, which is good
both bikes completely wrecked but the two people walking it off with minor injuries is the best you can realistically hope for, considering

Biker clearly at fault here aye! - FFS.

The bitch just walked off, without exchanging details :o

The bitch just walked off, without exchanging details.

To be fair, she was probably in shock/massive adrenaline loading and people do all kinds of irrational shit when like that.

[george formby]

That wee gem needs to be analysed.

My first thought was what would happen if he didn't hit the picks? Much bigger limp for the blind person probably, and a possible save by deflection.
Greasy road, lost the front, minimal impact to blind person crossing the road by smell.

I like the way her first reaction was to check for holes in her leggings. She be sore later. Hopefully infertile.

[YellowDog]

This person wasn't acting shocked or scared. She seemed quite indignant over the inconvenience.

If she doesn't awaken for tomorrows bus, it's probably major organ failure related, from her internal injuries.

I think 'Mr Biker' did pretty well, staying on his feet.

Just wondering if she might have briefly considered coming to his aid, had he been on the ground and injured?

[george formby]

I have no words. Please discuss and help me out on this one.

Oh yes I do, the camera bike sounds like a sack of hammers.

Too fast?

Pressure to stay in front?

[Laava]

Lol, they kinda just wobbled off the road!

[Taxythingy]

Well that was a bit stupid.

1. Oh, let's fall of the road cos my road position sucks and I'm going too slow and the bike wants to fall into the curve and down the hill and I don't have the right experience to fix this.

2. Bike goes where you look - oh, let's follow someone off the road.

[george formby]

I think they spotted some money. Pretty sure I saw one of them pick something up and put it in their pocket.<_<

[Laava]

My other thought was, contagious narcolepsy.

[YellowDog]

I heard: "Well I guess I hit a hole in the road" - :nya:

[Hoonicorn]

I'd say they went into the bend too hot and slowed down too much on the bend when they should be accelerating out. My impression is that they're an unskilled group, they took a minute just to park their bikes.

The guy with the camera was certainly labouring his engine, with too high a gear selection, at low revs.

I initially thought they were following a campervan.

[Berries]

Two of them by the look of it.

#2. is proven perfectly, by the video.

No sure I would have posted such an obvious fukup :no:

Simple but easy to forget... Bad for them, people always forget simple rules.

How much for an air bag suit...

Sentence was too lenient.

Driver should have been castrated too.

[MD]

That was on TV1 News Sunday night.

16 months for injury is still tougher than our wimp sentences. In NZ they would never jail the prick, a small fine and on ya way boy racer.
What a prick the driver was, well actually a Pratt (Florian Pratt to be precise, a wankers name if ever I heard one)

Horrible to watch unfold though and see how quickly it happened. About 1.5s from the car being on it's side of the road and impact. The bike looks like it's in a full stoppie so must have been a before ABS bike. Hope he recovers OK.

Not much in mitigation but that corner gets seriously tighter half way through, and it's not apparent because of the vegetation.

[Katman]

Fucking cagers.

So the guy passing on the right failed to hold his nerve. Never want to say any rider deserved to come off, but FFS :o

[Laava]

This is awesome! I am going to assume that the motorcyclist is not caught up in it but this guy is a total fuck-knuckle!

There's something to be said for following distance.

[R650R]

An old thread but couldn’t find a better place...

Bike is actually about the only one that doesn’t crash, how lucky is this guy on the Triumph!
Three seperate accidents and two dash cam views of same. Bikecis following first camera vehicle.

Need to up those fines :yes:

[Berries]

With a head that shape I don't know how he got a helmet to fit in the first place.

[Frodo]

I once had a small gardening truck lose a rake in front of me and a ute that lost a safety helmet. Avoided both objects.

[R650R]

Other people’s mistakes... free education par excellence.

Couple of good bike clips here and there in this months edition...

He's even looking cool not turning his head as the truck runs over him.
