I've watched your channel for so many years and it upsets me that I'm not going to watch them anymore. This commentary voice you have added is really painful to listen to and in my opinion completely ruins your videos
Uk & Ireland are both top places for bikers , I've ran out of petrol here had a guy drive me to the station and back about 20km round trip and asked for nothing , broke a chain on the motorway had 3 cars stop offering help(all bikers themselves). If I ever see anyone in trouble I always stop and check because I'd like the same happen when I break down.
@@CyberWallX Yea but picture this I used to drive a pizza scooter in The Netherlands many many years ago , I stopped after two old people on a tandem bike fell over and it cracked his skull a bad one off the sidewalk. I called for an ambulance ...the police got their quicker , and the first question he asks me ...the guy with half my sleeve ripped off my shirt holding a guys head closed was ......"So what happened did you hit them". Entire crowd of people almost in union defending me, really makes you feel like shit when you do good and someone still thinks automatically ...oh "biker" it must be his fault.
Cheers to them and anyone who helps out a biker in need. Longs story short old man helped me mid freeway after a lady clipped me nobody but him stopped, he even mad me laugh by saying “well damn that bitch just took off” as in the lady panicked clipped a box truck and was forced to get off the freeway by passerby’s until the chp came by to see if she was ok. All crocodile tears and wailing.
Here in Spain, I fell on my bike on a mountain road, not too fast, but the bike fell down the hill. Then everybody that passed stopped, even a truck full of workers that between them pushed the bike back on the road. It was a "hope in humanity restored" moment.
I was thinking the same thing, he didn't even try to make the corner, no lean angle, no counter steering, just a panic brake and strait off the road. It happens, but better a low side than a flying side.
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he was on a litre bike, there should be no reason he doesn't know how to corner at accelerated speeds, if you don't know that reset to the basics, and get a 300.
@@sovietgeneralartyom1459 Many are afraid to speed up and lean harder. Everyone starts somewhere and the TD250 I had years back was faster than most abused litre bikes my rocket3 even. Rz's will kill ya too, :)
That German guy definitely wasn't "too hot" for the corner. He just didn't turn lol. And the last one who slid started sliding several feet before the white line. It had nothing to do with it.
Looked more like too much throttle and dumping the clutch - the front didn't 'plow' over the line like a braking skid, but the rear end stepped out to the left HARD.
To me it looked like his front ABS kicked on and by the time he processed that it was too late to slow down enough to make the corner. Still dumb but I don't think it was caused by not knowing how to turn in this case.
@@CyberWallXgetting the wind knocked out of you, you can’t speak. Honestly when I feel off a house and it happened to me I thought I collapsed my lungs and was going to die
7:28 although it's true you should watch out for painted lines, that wasn't the problem here. He lost traction with the rear before even reaching the lines
Probably cheap chinese tyres on freshly rained on road. ...couple weeks of good weather in advance ensures a nice layer of diesel buildup for the rain to work it's magic on, slippery as ice.
yeah he clearly doesn't understand how to ride because its also only a 125cc and he clearly had a bad mix of too much handlebar input....clutch dump....too much throttle.....and wet conditions and his skills just weren't up to the task
That gravel crash at 2:43 was definitely unexpected. Honda's CBS (combined brakes) locked the front wheel without any warning. I got very lucky with my left hand... took the glove off just a few minutes prior to this incident and forgot to put it back on. Luckily, I just slapped the ground with my palm instead of grinding it down on the gravel. Always wear your gear! 👊😎👍 --QM
I doubt Honda caused the accident, is there a safety recall involving those brakes? The gavel appears to have a loose strip right where you went down. It surly happened with little warning. Good thing you bounce well and eat a S-sandwich like a champ.
@@WontSeeRepliesI think he only intended to use rear brakes but because of the combine it also used front and washed out the front tire on the gravel is what he means
Note on painted lines: Frost will form on them and remain long after it has melted on the ground nearby. I had to pull the saddle upholstery from my keister after making a right hand turn across some large crosswalk markings one morning. Even with extremely gentle throttle application the back tire tried to pass me...not fun on any bike, but a 1300cc cruiser is not easy to gather back up after a low speed drift!
Quallium, is like many of the L plate riders we see in the UK. That had nothing to do with the white line, he was slipping before he it it.... too much throttle in poor conditions.
@@frederikmyrrhj7360 hard to say…. I still think that throttle control was more the problem that wet lines. I have turned on lines in the wet and it’s not an issue!
I think it can be kinda fun. A lot of kids love it and it brings a smile to a lot of people. I don't really see why you need to hate on it although that rider was indeed a complete dbag.
The furry helmet certainly isn’t for me, but the truck driver was the Dbag. He was intentionally speeding up and slowing down to block the passing lane. If ever breaking someone’s mirror was justified, that’s it.
@@strictlyformyninja yeah probably but for what? He’s gonna have to “rock” 100,000 mfs for them to stop hogging the passing lane, it’s better to just go home 100% of the time.
@@strictlyformyninja or the guy in the yoda could have just pulled out his glock and dirt napped the stupid furry, want to look like a cartoon animal? then loony tunes laws come into play...drop a anvil on that clown...nothing worse than a tough guy in kitty cat ears.
"Helmet came off rider" The straps on helmets are there for a reason, folks. I had a highschool friend die in the same way. Low speed accident but he didn't strap up his helmet. Brain swelling......opened his skull to relieve pressure...etc. Pulled off ventilator about a week later after being declared brain dead. He died about a month before his first and only child was born
Yes, the first friend I lost in a bike accident was only doing about 10 mph when he hit a kerb, his helmet wasn't strapped on, it came off and he went headfirst into a street lamp. He was dead before he got to hospital.
Maybe if you weren't being stupid and had your front wheel on the ground, the driver might have seen your headlight and not turned. Just maybe... Oh and not all riders are like these people. Some actually respect the rules of the road and other drivers.
Yeah looked like the sun was low behind the rider as well which probably made him really hard to see. I'm all for having fun and the odd wheelie but doing it while approaching a junction with cars about is just stupid.
Its not the smartest idea thats for sure, and the biker obviously had a few other things wrong to worsen the crash, but I'd still say that regardless its still the cars fault, despite the riders idiocy. But that rider needed a helmet made for him and needed it strapped up so it didn't come off, I don't care about most gear, if you want to ride that way, the consequences is all you need, but a improper fitting and unbuckled helmet? asking for death.
I flipping love old British people. They are sweet plus that accent makes it sound even nicer. I’m the Deep South people would just point and laugh or honk the horn because my crash is slowing them down a little.
04:20 Always be aware of where the sun is when riding. Cammer is literally coming out of the shadows and the BMW has the sun right in his face. Unfortunately most people don't think "I can't see anything, therefore I have to drive carefully." but rather "I can't see anything, therefore nothing is there."
1:15 bruh dude is mad at the truck driver, meanwhile hes going 100 most likely speeding, plus it looks like an industrial area, cant really blame the truck driver for not seeing a small speeding red thing between those trees either way mans shouldn't be so pissed
To be fair, it DID look like the trucker ran the stop sign, but you're right that it wouldn't have been an issue if he had been traveling the speed limit. (Most commercial parks like that are 35MPH max, and he was going WAYYY faster than that.)
I avoid many of these cornering issues simply by slowing down more. Am I slowing down too much?? Maybe but better off safe and upright than on the ground.
First one is what we call a situation ripe for a big insurance claim. These reflectors cause more harm than good. We (Netherlands) have them too, but the're more rounded and only used when there's no other options or signs possible.
FIRST OF ALL I AM A RIDER AND I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT WE ALL AGREE THAT... Motorcycles come from the factory with horns, and we should all learn to use them and measure distances responsibly. All the videos we see are of people riding 600cc or larger displacement motorcycles, and they are always going full throttle or at a speed at which they then end up losing control of the bike or failing to stop when they run into something. And in a lot of cases, it is true, it is not the motorcyclist's fault, but if he were careful not to continue accelerating or slowing down, the consequences would be minor or would not exist at all. It is very angry to see that many people move ahead with moving traffic, and then get offended when a driver says something to them or calls their attention.
4:23 it's the car that was turning that is at fault, it's a refusal priority to the biker he is in a straight line is in right, the biker was also riding a little no matter how, good recovery to the biker, and strength to him.
@4:12. Do stupid shit…win stupid prizes. Work in an ortho theatre and hand out stupid prizes every single day. Wheel stands were a not-to-do when I got my licence.
I’ve been cut off on my bike my fair share of times…but instead of being a childish clown and chasing the car to “confront” them I simply go about my day 😊 more bikers need to learn to let it go and not escalate a situation…better yet, learn to not be reckless
$5 says Mini Meek didn't learn his lesson 5:47 yeah getting off you bike and rushing the truck....that's a good way to get shot AND the guy the truck would have gotten away with it too.
@6:40 the only thing he did right was have proper gear. Go down to a 250 and learn how to properly brake and how to take a corner. Not hating on 1000 cc’s because I’m on one but trust me when I say this. There is absolutely NO REASON to have a 1000 cc’s on public roads besides clout and getting yourself into hella trouble. Shit even most tracks your not able to max them out. There is no difference between a 600 and 1000 when used legally. Anybody who rides 1000 cc sportbikes (and can put their ego aside) would agree.
@4:20 is almost exactly how my crash happened. My helmet also flew off. Concussion, collapsed lung, broken hand, fractured elbow & knee. Watch out for those damn left turners.
You didnt tell the full story about the dude mad at the tacoma. Lol The guy that submitted the video elsewhere, said the tacoma was brake checking the biker and when the biker was going to turn, he flipped the biker off and yelled something. Dude in the Tacoma wanted that smoke until the biker stepped up lmao.
Quallum, ur bk wheel was out before u even touched the line, that was rider error, clutch n accelerator balanced wrong. I say this to help u not have a go!
Quallum didn't slip on the painted line, his rear end slid out while his front wheel was still on the line, he just accelerated too hard, nothing to do with the painted line this time.
That Quallum guy is a drama queen! 😂 I've done the same shit going way quicker and managed to get my bike up and out of the way before anyone had a chance to even ask if I was alright.
