how low can't ya go.....

[James Deuce]

I vote the pegs unloaded the back wheel (pics 2&3) off the road. A common mistake, ain't that right R1 Aaron (like I can talk).

Yup. I've done that except the RC30 was pretty stable as a tripod. When the peg snapped off thanks to Manfield's less than stellar surface that was a different story. Mind you I may have been caught out by the holes I'd been digging myself.

Ive done better (literally)... He just rolled off the tyres... Unless you weigh 90+kgs you will probably never scrape the pegs on a modern 600 Supersport (i havent on my 600)

The sparks will be from the rear axle (just like on my 600 hehehe) and there is nothing he could have done other than using a race type tyre (steeper profile) or going slightly slower...

Not that common, I have only done it once, it just happened to be when that homo Trash was here, I did learn from my mistake tho(I love my new rear sets)

Your all wrong.........after many hours of scrutiny i have the answer to this unfortunate individual's crash..............he should have bought a Suzuki

[trev]

Would backing off the throttle hard do this ??? - lighten back wheel, lower bike on suspension etc. 2nd pic looks like he has backed off the throttle a fair bit.
Awesome looking road - what you can see of it

And crashed before he got to the corner?

[Smorg]

Correct me if im im wrong but that looks like the exact same corner that was posted up a lil while ago with that harley riding having a spill after being a hero pointing at the camera

Very good series of shots. Good camera to cos they are clear and it looks like a fast set of corners.
He is low in shot one and got his arss off the seat but he has not pushed the bike back up to compensate. He looks to be pulling the bike down not pushing it up. He has no tyre left to ride on. So in Pic 2 it is all over no chance to save it cos the front has started to break out. Sparks could be from the foot pegs. Pic 3 he is dismounting and saying some bad words. He has air. From then on it is sad very feckin sad. His bike is representative of the mood he is probably in. The last pic is a look of relief. The tree was not his friend and he did not have to hug it. So not all was lost.

Look I go and make a coffee and there are 5 new postings. Don't you people ever work.......... But I think you have the answer here. Nothing like experience aye TS.

Those 1st two pics looked impressive, but it's pretty obvious that he took the corner far too wide, notice how he's on the wrong side of the road!! All this talk about crossing the centre line in other threads...let this be a reminder to us all!

[TonyB]

Aside from going a bit slower, what (from looking at the photos) if anything could you say he could have done better?

Got his shoulders over to the left more I reckon.

Its an expensive lesson to be learnt though

not always.. even wee ol' me managed managed to scrape my peg on a round about

[The Stranger:Me]

Ok it is difficult to say for sure given that camera angles can make things look different to how they really are, but I tend to agree with XP. It looks to me like his ass is on the correct side of the bike but his torso is cranked back up. Look at his head and neck in relation to the centre air duct.

If I am serious about a corner my torso is is down by the tank and I can only just get my outside hand to the outside grip. His outside elbow is quite bent, thus also suggesting his torso is quite upright (in relation to the bike at least).

Had his body and consequently COG been further inboard of the curve it may have allowed the bike to stand up more and not scrape and unload the rear wheel.

Not being critical, and obviously I wasn't there and I do realise this is hypothetical and that cameras kind of lie, but I just put it out there for discussion.
