Take that, Balls! From reddit:  Edit: I shot a bunch of clips of my brother doing backyard xr100 stuff and he made a video out of it. I was impressed with the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUTHTwRjfI GI Joe jobs fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Jun 19, 2012 |

Convenient crash footage from 3 different angles! I'd like to say that he had plenty of time to see what was happening, but it still happened really quick. I especially like the driver's "Did you not see me?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VLnnCIX_OQ Currently making rounds around the motowebs, figured I would share it here as well. The rider is pretty talkative here:http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=105910 but I figure you haven't got a whole lot to do after snapping your leg like that.

Are you ok? ninja guy posted:She had a 100k policy, if I didn't have health insurance or uninsured/underinsured I would be majorly screwed and probably owe the hospital money. My health insurance is swooping in on half my settlement which leaves me about 32k which IMO, is not nearly enough to cover what I've been through, what I'm currently going through, and the many more months that I still have to go through. That's probably a good call on his part to not chew her out, despite how satisfying that'd be. Apparently this was his FIRST ride, too.

Another reason to slow down in neighborhoods if you value your limbs and life.

Looks to me like he was being a bit inattentive but maybe that's just because I'm watching a video over and over. Just a little too fast, just a little too slow on the brakes. I like to think I'd be covering the brakes while riding around a suburb like that. Dunno though. I also want to make fun of him for putting 3 gopros on an EX250, but it's pretty interesting and probably valuable to be able to see all that from 3 angles. But why did he block out the speedo?

And yeah, some subdivisions may as well be parking lots, where posted speeds are unwise on two wheels. Glad he seems to be bouncing back, though if I were in his shoes I'd be wiping the web clean of any evidence of Wholigan behavior. I'm sure the opposing suits would just love to establish a record, or at least a propensity for carelessness. Even if the video is pretty damning.

From where he revved and shifted I would say closer to 33-35 probably but I haven't ridden the ninja in a few months. I have trouble judging speed from the cameras sometimes cause the lens angle and camera placement throws me of.

While blocking the speedo will save him from internet shaming, you'd think any official investigation would find another way to calculate his speed. Like measuring the length of of him passing a car and measuring it against time. Hell, I'll do it. Downloading the video it takes him 0.367 seconds to pass the maroon Expedition, which is 205.8 inches long according to wikipedia. That puts him at ~31.8mph. There is error in my measuring methods, but it's not 40mph like I would have guessed. Mis-measuring the car length by a foot would +- 1.8 mph, so it's under 35. Notice how he never brakes. It takes two to...crash a ninja 250!

True... It just seemed late and ineffective. The front doesn't really dive, like a 250 should.

Linked from the Ninja crash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atCrbQv5P3k&t=460s Watch for the deer running across the road from the left. Having done the same thing (crashed and broken my ankle in the middle of nowhere, even though I didn't hit a deer and I wasn't dressed like a squid), I experienced a mixture of "Oh gently caress me, I know that hosed feeling," and amusement as the first thing he does is shout "Help! Help me!" at no one in particular[1]. Jump to 8:50 for "Mom... I crashed my bike." 9:42 "I don't need 911, honestly." Yeah, ya do. [1]In my own experience, "gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress" works better.

From the ninja crash, I guess it's better to take a crash head on than from the side? The force of a side impact seemed to brake his left femur from being planted on the peg? Maybe just let off the thighs for superman takeoff before impact?

The force of a side impact seemed to brake his left femur from being planted on the peg? Maybe just let off the thighs for superman takeoff before impact? He broke his leg because he tried to put his foot out to push the car away as an initial reaction. This allowed his femur and the gas tank to pleasantly meet on the fender. Reading more into it he admits to going 28mph (saying his speedo is off and it's a known problem with the two-fiddy), but more than a few people have calculated it at 30+. It's just a reminder to be on guard even when putting around the neighborhood and be glad it didn't turn out worse. You could have the entire internet speculate for days on if he did this or that, but unless he takes it to heart (which it sounds like maybe some of it he is) he's not going to learn a thing. Also a reminder to up your insurance coverage since apparently the 100k the girl had didn't quite cover it all.

I remember bouncing across the pavement thinking "gently caress, ow, poo poo, that hurts" then my head bounced off the pavement twice and both times it was "jesus christ thats loving way more painful than I thought it would be, I wonder if it's gonna be a concussion" then all of a sudden I was standing up going "where's my gopro? wheres my camera? dude help me find my camera." my lowside was more like "oh. ohh. whoops. gonna be expensive. hey this is like a really expensive slip and slide."

During my first big crash (I, traveling about 40-50, rear-ended a Nissan traveling about 30-40), my train of thought went from "Oh this is gonna suck" as I saw the Nissan getting closer to "Huh. This doesn't suck as bad as I thought it was going to. I hope my bike doesn't hit me," as I slid along the ground. Safety Dance fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jun 19, 2012 |

I live on one of those Seattle "two way streets that really only work as one way streets because of all the parked cars also did I mention there are no yield or stop signs in any direction at intersections" streets. Now way I'm going faster than 20 (if that) and not yielding at every intersection. I'd say he could have avoided it. He braked too late and didn't use the rear. He should have started to slow the moment he noticed her car moving into his path or at least cover the brakes and downshift. I want to say he froze. \ I'm going to assume that when he says "28 in a 25" he means "When I hit the car I had slowed to 28." That doesn't make her any less wrong. They both just seem inattentive to me. E: My lowside was "Ugh, off to wor- where is my rear tire go-I am on the ground and my bike is sliding away from me what the gently caress oh look at the pretty sparks I hope it stops before hitting a car."

Now way I'm going faster than 20 (if that) and not yielding at every intersection.   Sup, tiny Seattle street buddy? These 'hoods definitely require maximum attentiveness. I live in Capitol Hill and this place especially turns into a shitshow on weekend nights, as all the people from the Eastside/other areas come to the Hill to party. Which means ~10-15mph puttering along while they look for a parking spot, even though they can't parallel park, and lots of random stops/goes/turns/swerves. Awful.

Safety Dance posted:I don't even see a shifter. Where is it? The foot controls are reversed on Bultacos. Brake is on the left, shifter is on the right. I have already ordered the parts necessary to mount the shifter in it's normal location and convert the solid rear brake to a cable actuated version on the right side. So cool how you can just go back and forth.
