    Not to mention the six bikes parked RIGHT on the white line, one of which was knocked down by the bike(or the rider?) parked in the road being pushed into it.

    Notice how many of the bikes step out when they cross from the patch back to the regular asphalt? I think it's just rough enough that if you're close to the edge of traction it'll bounce the rear and help it step out.

    Listen to the cheers and laughter and tell me those spectators aren't there to encourage and revel in the behavior that leads to crashes

    even still, it's the riders fault for riding beyond his/her capability.

    unless someone drives into me, i never blame my crashes on someone else. that's like suing mcdonalds for having hot coffee. you may get away with it, but it's still your own fault for spilling hot coffee on you.

    accept responsibility for your own actions.

    Fuck the McD's bullshit.

    The real important question to ask is if it's really necessary for those riders to hang off the bike, or if it's just a poser move.

    Anyone seen any car tires yet?

    Are people spraying something slippery in this corner, as happens on The Dragon? Wondering why people are crashing for seemingly no reason.

    It looks to be a decreasing radius going uphill and I think they're just on the throttle too much. :dunno

    "I dont wish that you would die, but I know you're going to"

    classy

    I love when people say they dont care over and they are saying that on a video they posted online about not caring. So obviously you DO care

    Red One cameras are amazing!

    The guy on the R1200GS at 1:16 knows how to get everything possible out of that bike!
