He's a goner: Lost it!
He can make it: Saved it!
Its a save. Can see another black mark that follows the same line hes taking.
Unless hes trying to pull off another fluke, could be a bin.
Im covered![]()
Optimistically he's OK so far, so I'm saying hes home and hosed and in control. (just)John.
Some interesting conjecture here. I've seen some mighty big highsides starting like this. I've also seen some amazing saves...
The next photo in the sequence might make you change your mind ~but bear in mind... there are 2 more photos yet to come.
Keep it rubber-side down...
I saw a guy on an R1 do the freakiest thing in a parking lot:
He'd gas it up going straight, then (I think) dab the back brake hard to get the back loose, then with inside knee down slide it sideways before picking it up off the gas again.
I have no idea how he did it but it looked a bit like the GSXR pic~![]()
Keep it rubber-side down...
Soooo gone![]()


Freaky save!![]()
That 3rd pic looks uncomfortable...
I would have said he was going to save it till Pic #3 but not looking good now.
I would have saved it of course!!!! Would have got on the rear brake and hoped that the rear didnt come round any further.
Pic #3 says he was short of grunt or chickened out, to keep the rear spinning.
I'd have been too chicken to wind it on so only way I know to save it would be apply LOTS of rear brake
But then I dont ride something with grunt enough to spin up the rear so who knows![]()
I've been thinking its a sure candidate for a lose unless some flukey trickery pokery by the rider happens.
And I have $0.05 says that it does and he gets to wipe pooh out of his un-scuffed leathers in pit lane.
Saved it....
RSV Mille: No madam, its an Aprilia, not a Harley. If it were a Harley, I would be pushing it !
Your just trying to throw people aint you you sneaky kiwi

After seeing that clip again I'd say the man with Yellow Leathers has used up ALL the luck the Motorcycling gods had available.
So I'm still going to say our Red Leather man has lost it.
