I really don't get how people can ride aggressively 2up like that. The handling is absolutely atrocious with passengers on my f4i.

Z3n posted:No, but the guy and his passenger were ok with minor injuries, amazingly. Lowsides honestly aren't that bad, though their lack of gear does make me cringe. I had a lowside similar to that about 2 weeks ago at the track. I walked away without so much as a bruise - I was wearing a full set of armoured leathers though. When your knee is already down on the track, a lowside is only a 40cm fall onto the ground. It's the sliding that can hurt, especially if you subsequently hit something. Great thing about keeping those shenanigans to the racetrack is that there's nothing around to hit.

Yes, 100+mph corner, with all of 30 feet of runoff. I wish I had run video at my last trackday to show exactly how nuts it is. Z3n fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Dec 11, 2008 |

From what I understand, at a 30mph spill cotton material (like a t-shirt and jeans) kind of just evaporates after about 10 feet. And the girl is wearing a pair of daisy dukes and a tank top, so she doesn't even have that little bit of protection over most of her body.

I don't find 30mph spills to be that bad, I've fallen a bit more times than the norm for AI and I've noticed that in 30mph and less falls there's like 3 places that will always scrape when wearing not much gear and lowsiding: elbows, knees and knuckles, anything more and you fell going too fast

Oh man, I've been those guys.  Popped a tire once too, and got pulled over another time. No helmets of course. Teenagers are dumb. It was even a Spree too, the retard's scooter of choice along with the Razz, which I also had at one point.

redscare posted:Except those pesky walls Point taken, I guess runoff is an issue at some tracks. One of the tracks around here only allows bikes to use it in one direction, for precisely that reason.

And the girl is wearing a pair of daisy dukes and a tank top, so she doesn't even have that little bit of protection over most of her body. I was talking more about the "bet she broked all her bones" comments. I should probably have said "lowsides aren't that bad, IF you have decent gear on".
