Hallett Crash - 3/26/16 - Adv group 

You were so much calmer than I would have been. I am impressed

As a former track instructor, I admire your professionalism and calm manners. Glad both of you were unharmed, that could have been a lot worse.

Todd took that alot better then some guys. Some would have fought right there in the grass.

Sorry this happened to you, you were very calm about the incident.

Took that a lot calmer than I would have. At the very least I would have said "Why the fuck did you go straight to the racing line when you weren't at race pace yet?"

"they gave me a clear signal" Man fuck that! Did he even apologise or take any kind of responsibility

Come on man!!! Why pull all the way across a hot track when you're waaayyy off the pace bro? It's been awhile since I've seen this happen, and it just shouldn't. Hey guy on the R1, what exactly is the signal for I'm fixing to pull an all-time bone-head move and cause an easily avoidable accident? Well handled ZX10R guy. I'd have just lost it when he replied that he'd given me "a clear signal".

Holy shit i'd be so pissed.

Very calm, cool, and collected! Kudos for keeping your head on straight.

That sucks so bad! Your beautiful bike! I was forced into the dirt once by a panic breaking new rider. I saved it only because I was on a supermoto and not a supersport- just lucky. Glad you weren't hurt badly. You handled this with remarkable class. I knew there was a reason I liked you from the moment I met you.

Oh my gosh Todd! What a rider you are to have kept the thing on two wheels after the initial hit, and then have the where-whithall to throw it down still at 70 mph to get ready for the tires! Geez man terrible stuff right there, but good riding on your part! Glad you were OK! Hell of a hit though no doubt!

You were more calm than a 100 year old Monk. Respect.

Well handled. Sorry about your bike!

Hope you're as OK as you seemed to be (adrenaline can give a false sense of feeling fine). You took that a LOT friendlier than a lot of people would have; not sure I could have Good example of why blend line is so hammered on in the rider's meeting...unfortunately someone must have been sleeping through it.

Respect Dude. I would not have been that calm about that.

Man that is scary no where for you to go, glad both riders ok and you are so calm props to keeping that level head.

I would not of been that calm... props to you!

sorry to see this happen to you man, i was there earlier and saw multiple riders go down. hope the damage isnt too costly to repair

Hey VM would it be ok to feature your clip in a moto crash edit some time credited in the description and comments sections. Thanks, MM.

Man.. thats unfortunate! Props for keeping your cool, Glad both riders are ok:)

And glad you are both OK

Much respect for not getting in that guys face.

Whoa! That is very unfortunate but I am glad to see everyone was okay.

I just cried a little. Such a nice bike!!!! Glad you're ok tho. coulda been much worse.

The way you reacted shows class and experience. It would have been easy to reacted and taken it out on the other guy. I am sure we haver all been on Trackdays and made mistakes to accidently cut someone's line. The other rider is in the wrong and the disappointing fact is that on the track no one is liable. I would love to see that law change so that all riders would be more considerate if each other. A better person would offer to pay or at least contribute to the repair. Good luck with the repairs and this season.

Good grief! You don't even pull onto a public highway like that, like going from on-ramp straight to the passing lane.

Must be a new guy on the track. Your very calm and glad your okay.

Yes way to set example, cheers mate, but also wow he didn't even head check or anything

Thanks God u r ok .

Now that is one calm and cool dude. He has the right to be pissed. You never cut across like that.

Sorry that happened to you bro!

OOO....!! no bro - big crash, Can i use this video for my crash compilation? i will give you full credit in my description.

What was said at the riders' briefing regarding pit lane exit? Do you have pre session riders' briefings in the USA? All the track days I've been on run by UK organisers have explicit instructions on how to exit the pit lane and join the track.

right out into the racing line wow

Idk how you were that calm bro. I would have immediately started beating him

That would piss me off

So calm I would of flipped out. What were the track marshalls doing letting him enter the track anyway?

Hello can I get your permission to use this video in my compilation? I will include original link, your channel link and mention your channel during the video.

Miles8785 it was advanced. This guy usually turns in the teens there. He was in his new 2016 zx10 and was just playing around.

wow! I would have been schooling this guy about why he is to blame. sorry that you had to have this happen!

How did this happen in advanced group? I’d be pissed

Very calm considering the pace you hit him at. I'd have been ripping. At what speed was the dismount? Sounded heavy enough?

Please tell me that guy was sent to time out so he can think about what he has done?!?!?

Blend. Line. That rider needs to be bumped down. Hope you and the bike are ok.

Yeah, I would have said some not nice things. Was this street group?

Props for keeping composure. I would have been LIVID!!!

what group was this ?? Street??

Also, that track seems to need a better longer blend line. That's way too short. Might help reduce the risk of this kind of stupidity.

With your permission I would like to include a clip from your video in an instructional video about how to properly enter and exit the racetrack safely. Please let me know, thank you!

Damn, that dude went STRAIGHT in on race line! Glad nothing too serious though, could have been much worse.

Damn that dude should have given you heaps more room. You were very calm too, i would have been seeing red.

They gave you a clear signal? You don't think anything happens in those 2-3 seconds after that?!? This is why I look behind me before I swing out into any race line. I would have been livid!

That would be a bad move on a city street never mind a race track.

Man I would have been furious.

Hi! Do you mind if i use an except of this crash in a trackday safety video I am making?

that wasn't the BRAND NEW bike was it?

I saw the signal he was talking about. The signal was when he put the key in the ignition at the beginning of the day. LOL! Should've KNOWN he was gonna fuck up! LMAO! He's the guy that wrecks his car on the highway entrance ramp and goes, "...I gave you a signal. I opened my garage today...that was my signal that I was gonna smash somebody's shit today." LOL

Glad you didn't get hurt physically. That dude didn't even look? Even if someone gives you "clear to go" you check getting on a track with bikes zipping by at 150+ miles an hour. Geez...

Man he really did immediately swing over to the far right side of the track when he came out of the pit. Not a fun way to end a day at the track.

He says "They gave me a clear signal", not "I gave a clear signal". Is it normal at this track that the marshals tell you when the track is clear? Even if so, you should damn well shoulder check, but it seems odd. Clear to leave the pits does not mean clear track!

Advanced group? That looked like a damn novice pace to me lol

OMG~~

wow the etiquette and composure you kept is baffling my friend. Good stuff I will apologize on behalf of all yammi riders lol... R1m and no road manners. smh

That's way I don't take my bike to the track

Was he trying to justify his reckless move? A clear signal of what? To kill? His ignorance is what makes him a dangerous rider! A rider who enters or exits the track is responsible for not interfering with the traffic.

Not sure who's fault it is.. On one hand the Yamaha rider steered really hard to the right. On the other hand he said he had signaled, and the Kawasaki rider could be a bit more cautious since he saw him in front of him for 5 seconds.

the first 2016 zx10r crashed -,-

dissapointing to see - people on track should be more heads up than that. Its supposed to be a safe environment and it's a shame to see something so preventable happen.

He end up paying?

I would make him pay for all the cost

Yeah, sooo much safer on track. NOT! That's why my gixxer will only ever see public tarmac. Sorry for your bike though mate.

I'm just trying to add an objective view here and not taking sides BUT, first of all it's not a race, it's a lap day. Second of all there's no question that the rider entered the track and moved into the race line without following protocol. Knowing that BOTH riders are advanced riders I'm thinking that the rider on the ZX10R should have taken more evasive action before it came to this. I personally saw the rider coming onto the track WAYYYYY back up there. Especially on a track day when "Advanced" is....somewhat questionable I NEVER count on the other riders seeing me OR doing it properly everytime. I've had this very thing happen and trust me it's not acceptable BUT with at least ONE set of eyes working (in this case, the oncoming rider) this should have been avoided. It sucks that you crashed your bike and yes he was in the wrong, but in the end...SAVE YOUR ASS and let them make their mistakes. It's gonna happen on lapping days and we each need to be the most experienced rider on the track. Just my opinion and not pointing fingers at all.

Kawasaki riders all act like they own the track. You should have seen that guy blending but too busy trying to be Johnny Rea. :D

The rider in front was NOT at fault. On the track it is 100% the rider BEHINDS responsibility, otherwise you would need mirrors and looking behind you all the time and have to GIVE WAY on the race track.

Split seconds, but can't blame a rear end collision on the driver/rider in front of you. In a regular street traffic court case, blaming the person in front of you for your rear end collision would not hold up in court. Reality baby.

typical inconsiderate new racer....
