The worst part of it is, seems by the post I linked the rider didn't drop it down the bank, just on his leg. The good Samaritans helping him finished it off!

Yeah, "VIBR8S".

First time I remember a thread at The Dragon seems like '06 or '07. It was a vid of some guy on a Harley going into one of those hairpin curves, but he did the "deer in the headlight" routine and went straight, over the edge and down the bank. Seems like he froze going into the turn. It was mild compared to what we've seen here, but there was much discussion...

It's a classic.

Yes! Yes!! A classic indeed.


"We'd better, we'd better... they'ye gonna beat our asses."

Then a bunch of accountants-dressed-as-pirates show up.

"Yeah, go, get outta here..."


There are a lot of good vids of motorbike crashes at the page, many of them from Deal's. The comments on this video are great...

I think that's a re-run, but a pretty cool picture IMO.

I don't think I could take my dog on the bike. Fine if you do, but one mistake could put the little guy on the pavement. Had a dog jump out of the car once, that was bad enough.
