[98tls]

Borrowed these off another forum i spend a heap of time on........have a good look at first pic.............looks like hes outta here.........:dodge: but no..he saved it somehow..............:Punk:

[Winter]

err.......?

[98tls]

Been a long day.................:innocent: forgot the damn pics.......here ya go

[cowboyz]

would say there was a shitload of luck rather than judgement going on there. wonder if he made the next corner?

[98tls]

For sure on the luck thing.............yes he did make it around the next corner...and according to his mate then pulled over for a little.......quiet time...:innocent:

[cowboyz]

Hmm "quiet time" ??

I haven't heard of that model of underdaks?

[chanceyy]

fark that would have to be some good luck there .. :yes:

[nickchilli]

if thats a fireblade they are very forgiving and let you get away with stuff like that , otherwise he a very lucky barsteward

[Squeak the Rat]

Did you see that darkie lying on the road :shit:

[Colapop]

Doesn't matter what bike you're on, you get that sideways and it's a long way back...

[98tls]

Doesn't matter what bike you're on, you get that sideways and it's a long way back... Yes sir..........how it didnt spit him off i dont know................

[breakaway]

Was there an article which accompanied these photos?

[McJim]

I want some of that luck....wouldn't want to wash his undies though.:sick:

[nudemetalz]

Betcha his pants had some....errr...."extra packing"....

[98tls]

I spend a lot of time on an American based forum devoted to TLS/Rs,the guy riding the honda was a mate of a guy on said forum........the photo was taken at a place called deals gap........a bit like the rimituka hill but longer.....the guy was by all accounts a great rider on a road he had been riding for 9-10 years........had just bought the honda and well.........the rests in the pics..........very lucky.

[beyond]

Wonder how fast he was going cos there's no tyre smoke??

Everytime I've seen someone come off at a fair clip, including myself there's been a ton of tyre smoke.

[Colapop]

That and how the hell do you get a pic like that?

:shit: I third that!! :sick:

[NighthawkNZ]

:shit: I third that!! :sick:

thats spelt "turd that" :shutup:

[98tls]

No idea how fast at all...........by all accounts its a great piece of road so quick i would say........as i said he had just bought the RR after trading in his 954...........as for the pics no idea........i have seen alot of great bike/action shots from deals gap before.........myself i am shit with a camera but obviously who ever takes these pics isnt.........have seen an awsome sequence of pics of a harley rider at deals gap giving the guy taking the photo the finger then losing it big time.......so and so on.............

[Brett]

Now that is very close to a bad high side.

[more_fasterer]

Buy that man a DB! :yes:

That's the same place as the How to ride a Goldwing (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=49905) video, no?

Deals Gap is on a piece of road called the Tail of the Dragon - part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.


That and how the hell do you get a pic like that?

Take a look at Killboy's site. He seems to specialise in photos of the Tail of the Dragon, some of them incredibly dramatic, some beautiful, all skillful.
