Schadenfreude: a very expensive ducati in a muppet off. I feel bad for giggling

[FJRider]

is this the same corner? I read some of the u toob comments and they seem to suggest that corner is offcamber. The patch of new seal might have something to do with it too.

I do feel sorry for Ducati guy, and believe me I've had my share of muppet offs. And I do feel bad for giggling.

But shit, its only a bike, he walked away: thats a good outcome.

Check this great save:


in jeans too.

It IS the same corner ... I guess thats why the video camera is THERE ...

I have seen the clips too-I dont know why they fall off. My U-tube perception is that the corner[which evolves into a tighter left hander] is not that challenging, yet they high side or lowside heaps. Easy to label them as Noobs[and some are!], but I think there must be more to it than that. Perhaps the camera dosent show the true camber, road surface or sharpness of the corner?

Watch this, Yes yes it's a cage but gives a good idea of the road. The "fall off" corner is the last one. I think people relax before they should. Combine that with the fact that they all know there are cameras there. We all know what happens when someone watches...

The legendary Mulholland Drive I believe - the only fault with the road is that it has corners.

It is a muppet mecca, with wannabe Rossis coming from all over, to take turns at trying to get their knees down.

It's well organised, with the riders queuing up for their turn to fall off, and cameras at key vantage points to capture to idiocy.

you are bang on. that corner is called the snake or something, I forget now. That guy (rnickeymouse) goes up there every weekend or so and just sits there and videos guys binning on that very corner. I want to set up a bike repair shop just up the road, Id make a fuckin mint!!!

look up the rest of his vids, there is some pretty aquidly behaviour to be seen.

I dont find a bin funny usually, but as long as the rider walks away unhurt (ego excluded) than I can see the humour in the stupidity that was the cause.

Lawks, that was pretty cool. I dont really approve of drifting, because motorsport is about winning, not style points, but I do admire their car control. Plus there is something visceral about lighting up the rears and giving it death. (On a closed road under the supervision of the California Highway Patrol, natch)

That is one nice sounding machine. Decent driving too.

Far out. Imagine how quickly he could do it if he drove properly.
