Update http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/04/19/bc-motorcycle-video-victoria.html Tentatively ID'd as an unlicensed and uninsured 25 year old with the R1 in his mothers name. I love this line: quote:Investigators believe it occurred sometime prior to April 7, when the video was posted. Edit: Also interesting how this is getting more coverage and police action then some murders get. slidebite fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Apr 20, 2012 |

What appears to be an English translation of a German motorcycle safety instructional video from the 70s, with appropriately horrible/awesome music, the most stylish ATGATT suit, and starring the original superbike, the BMW R90S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THW3mNPNiW4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiNLaV1QUck

^^About time! I requested this two years ago. I love this video. Not much has changed about riding since then, really. I envy them being able to share on the outside of a lane versus in-between.Legerdemain posted:I remember a while ago there was a multi-part BMW motorcycling video from the 70s. It was basically about how awesome motorcycles are. Anyone have a link to that?

You never see the face, bitch coulda been like "Get off my loving R1 homey and give me that go pro, momma gotta roll cray cray style". It could happen.

Poor show really I agree, but considering that they're struggling to keep up with current demand I can kinda see it. They also say they're only using profits from their races for their race program so they might want to try winning a couple before they try going on their own.

Stuntaazzz put a big dent in the tank to give them a flat spot to sit on for highchair wheelies. On the Norton, I hope they actually make another rotary for racing like they said they were a few years ago. Hopefully their Aprilia CRT bike gets them off the ground on that, otherwise who gives a poo poo.

They raced that rotary bike over at the TT in 2009, if I remember rightly they could only enter it as a prototype or something, so it was a ~600cc rotary making 130bhp, up against the 200bhp monsters. They ended up having problems with the bike I think and either didn't race, or retired. A drat shame really, it's an awesome looking bike, would probably make a nice supersport class bike

Looks and sounds like they locked the rear brake up suddenly for no reason. Edit: Actually the more I watch it, it dips to the right all of a sudden when the squeal happens. I don't really know. Bixington fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Apr 22, 2012 |

Bixington posted:Looks and sounds like they locked the rear brake up suddenly for no reason. It looks like they wanted to stop and graze their bike, and managed to use the tried and true combination of rear brake and layerdan to stop. I can't hear any additional throttle being applied, the passenger gestures to the group, and the standing up of the bike is consistent with them wanting to stop.

I saw the turn get more lean than the bike could handle and it hopped the rear tire up. Then the rider could have done any number of survival reactions to ruin it from there, chopping the throttle, focusing on the outside of the turn, slamming the break, etc... edit: after watching it again, I think I'm wrong now, maybe it's cold and there was a patch of black ice? edit2: or he missed a shift causing the rear to lock for a second (or more and he grabbed the clutch), or it was a simple mechanical error of some kind.
