    Does that mean the bike will now wheelie easier?

    Seriously though, the amount of awesome crash videos that this guy has up on his channel is nuts. Its almost like they go down there and throw a bit of sand on the road when there hasn't been one for a while. Theres a tree on that corner where they hang all the bits of broken fairings from the bikes that have crashed there, you can catch a glimpse of it in some of the videos.

    His (assuming it is a his) 1st mistake was riding that friggin road - jesus doesnt he have an internet connection? Nearly every motorcycle on the net that goes around that corner falls down inexplicably...

    Second mistake was riding past people (ghouls actually) with a frickin camera? Seriously? Do you think they are filming you because you are impossibly cool? Nope - they KNOW you are going to fall off.... In fact I wouldnt be amazed if they made sure you will fall off although in this case it was all his own work...

    Problem is they're Mericans, watch some of his other clips on the same road. Total lack of ability to control any sort of vehicle two or four wheels.

    And this is different from any other country in the whole entire world, how? The only country on the entire planet that teaches it's populous to drive properly is Finland.

    I mean shit, have you seen any of the videos out of Russia?

    Yes - yes I have but Vicki says they are disgusting and I'm not allowed to watch them anymore... Apparently it makes me 'unsettled' .... Still - I guess its a product of too many hot women and a crap economy and crap weather that drives them to porn...

    Most of them are really well educated and qualified too!

    I watched one getting stuck into her centrifuge, just the other night

    Back on track though, some of the Russian driving leaves a lot to be desired:

    I loved it that NOT 1 of the first three people to run out and help, went to check the rider. They all went to the Bike.
    I guess they had their priorities sorted after all.

    He was already in trouble when he first appeared, close enough to the gravel that the little extra countersteer he needed to correct his line was already risky.
    He can be looking anywhere he wants as long as he is pushing on the bars hard enough to lean the bike over further....

    But yes, there is that old tendency to go where you look.

    And lots of ice - dont forget the ice. And the fact that they drive damn fast with no control with shit cars on the ice....
    And that almost no intersections seem to have traffic lights in Russia, and the ones that do have are treated more like suggestions than rules to be obeyed!
