jbot Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Looks like a handful of front brake while trying to lean in. I know cause I am king of front end tucking (in so many ways).Glad you're ok and aren't you glad you did this on a relatively cheap to fix bike rather than some retarded expensive Italian POS?Fix it up and bring it to the track. We will help you destroy that corner the next time you meet it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpaw Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Glad you're ok.My take on the video alone(I wasn't there, and don't know you):You guys aren't riding within your abilities. You should not be using brakes in turns. Turn in/lean harder. Going into turns; "slow in/fast out"...especially on unfamiliar roads. Ride your own ride, at your own pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying Shadow Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I engine brake man and rarely use my brake its just that corner I fed up saw my dude in front cut wide thought he was going down lost focus and must of braked while fully leaned. Don't remember hitting my brakes I know its a no no or cornering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 You should not be using brakes in turns.This ^The rider grabbed front brake in the corner. That makes the front dive and takes weight off the back tire. That loss of weight caused the loss of traction on the rear tire and it slid out.If you are too hot you lean and pray but you never brake.Very glad he is ok.

Dying Shadow Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yea I'll learn from this. Damn frame slider broke right off at the bolt. It was already installed when I picked the bike up so the previous owner must of went cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnor Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 My most hated road...always has gravel/cinders general crap in the corners..The part from Chesterhill to RT7 is usually decent though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Glad you were wearing gear and we're all analyzing what went wrong rather than talking about how banged up you are. The bike doesn't look too bad. A few hundred more dollars of damage, and I'd be inclined to make you am offer on it!Mistakes happen. Sorry yours resulted in a slide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
