im guessing you locked up the front brake while going through a corner?? this brings back bad memories of when i broke both my wrists going down at 80. Hope you guys were ok, gotta keep thinking 'what if'

glad you are okay, and you're right, that was disturbing, i got nauseas just watching that. unfortunately it seems the majority of accidents are caused by other riders and motorists, and not ourselves. glad you didn't get hurt too bad.

Your not the first person that said it made them feel sick watching it.

As for the blame for the accident I have to accept half the blame. I wouldn't have gone down if he hadn't gone down but I also should have been able to avoid going down even in the more...

o fu*@#n shit! Ure luckiest of unluckies! 10 x hit's form me. There was somethinhg on the road or that was tires fault? Shit, rocks were close....

I just realized that the other rider was visible at the end of the video and you were probably asking why he went down.

Well in my opinion it was lack of skill of the rider. He was riding too much bike for his skill level and he was trying to keep up more...

A rider went down in front of me. Unfortunately I was leaned over the bike so the camera was pointing at the gauges so you couldn't see him.

The rocks were extremely close. I actually hit a big flat rock with my hip and a softball sized rock hit my head more...

Damn dude, that looks like it could have been a hell of a lot worse. Big bikes inspire overconfidence, which is exactly what happened to your friend infront of you. It's so fast, yet he doesn't know how to ride, so he habitually enters corners way too more...

Yeah I really wish I would have left the group. I know I wouldn't have gone down in that spot if I had.

I was actually going to branch off in a different direction about 5 miles down the road. I was uncomfortable riding with this guy and made an excuse more...

your guys tires hadn't even had a chance to warm up. You are lucky though, I went down something like that and wound up with a separated shoulder. Still rode the bike home though. Is that a Kodak V570 in your helmet?

Posted Apr 7, 08 by kryten
My camera is a v570. I also modified my helmet. The amazing thing is that the camera didn't come out of the helmet and it didn't even lose a single frame during the impact.

Oly JEEZE! Whoa! That didn't look fun! I am glad your ok.

I can't really see what happed infront of you because your camera is aimed down.

Do you have carnage pics? Post'em up.

Posted Apr 5, 08 by S7rykEagle
Do you have the "rest" of the clip? It seems like you cut it off.

Posted Apr 5, 08 by kryten
I have a few pics of the aftermath. I'm going to take a few more and put a video together. Hopefully I'll have it up soon

oh my god.. that was a hard crash. im so happy both of you guys are alright. damn im sorry man, it could have been alot worse thank god it wasnt!

Posted Apr 5, 08 by kryten
I was surprised that I wasn't badly injured. I'm not sure why. I think I should have been really messed up but I was only slightly scraped and bruised. It could have been a lot worse.

holly fck sh!t god damn,....

i am glad you are ok and that other guy...i hope....

daaaaaamnnn !!! scary,...

Posted Apr 5, 08 by kryten
I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline that made it seem this way but it didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Watching the video is actually scarier than I remember the real event being.

Posted Apr 5, 08 by piasa
wow...sorry that happened to you both but glad you two are okay. Looking forward to seeing your analysis about the crash.

Posted Apr 5, 08 by kryten
Thanks man. I'm working on the analysis and damage video. I hope to have it up soon.

Posted Apr 4, 08 by kryten
The guy on the ground was hurt a little worse than me but he was pretty much ok. He got up and we both rode our bikes home.

My bike has minor damage. I need knew fairings and a turn signal. His bike was totaled by his insurance company.
