If "Mr. Crotch Rocket" in the second video understood anything at all about the concept of "push right - go right, push left - go left" he would have stayed in his lane. He had no concept of following distances, either. I'm afraid if I was the lead bike on that trip, I would have waved him around... better to follow that to be afraid of him popping me in the backside if I had to stand on the binders...

Re: 60 Second Safety Lesson -linking Curves

Went to boot camp in 05 and left my bike back home, got stationed back in WA after four years in Norfolk and got my bike re titled and licensed for the road. While riding from my dads house out to the island where i'm living now I forgot a few of the basics of apexing the corners while taking a challenging road back home for the first time in a while. Needless to say it got a little hairy in some real tight corners that I forgot about. I ended up taking a refresher msr course to get my mind back in the game. Its never too late to get some refresher training if you need it. Good post Bull...

Looks like to me he was watching the oncoming car and not into the curve. The curve wasn't that bad specially for a crotch rocket.

Regardless of how/why he got there, he's a lucky dude to have been in that curve when he was. A couple more seconds later and we'd be watching a much different video.

How stupid is "Mr Crotch Rocket"? What happened to a safe following distance?

Just stumbled across this. F'ing idiots.

Any fool can go fast. Controlling a bike (or car) is what counts and takes skill.

HHmmmm I think if they where not running 12K = 150+ ? going in to the curve [ ok they down shifted slowed a bit] that he would have no problems making that curve. just because you can ride fast does not mean you know how to ride fast... way to many kids think they can ride and crash. had a co worker get a c-rocket [Honda] and think he knew how to ride.... he had the bike 2 weeks before he totaled it in a curve.

Even experienced riders should be very carefull if they jump from a cruiser to a sport bike or sport tourer they are way faster than a Vulcan and can get you in trouble in a hurry
I found myself going way to fast on my brothers conny . That thing is a blast LOL
