I think in a lot of cases, they aren’t entirely incorrect, it’s just that you shouldn’t ride such that you need the road surface to be perfect, or your tires perfect, to prevent a crash. That’s riding on the edge.
Its so stupid to blame conditions for crashes. "Gravel preventing stopping" no, it was excessive speed "6 psi higher" no, you simply fucked it with bad throttle control. Ride within limits and to the conditions and stop blaming everything else for poor skills and decision making.
it amazes me as well but i remember when i started riding and it feels like it gets to a point where anymore counter steer will surely tuck the front. Learning to move about on the bike has made me so much more comfortable with adding bike lean angle
@@madlockjenkins4102 It' called "balance" and is the bodys way to maintain stability. It means that your brain and reflexes have to be a couple of millisec before the body. If they're caughrt of guard you will fail. As a goalkeeper in soccer that leans on to the wrong foot when a shot deflects and change direction.
I feel the biggest threat to riders is "short shorts" the ones with half their butt hanging out. Riding by campus the other day i almost killed myself 5 times due to "Target fixation"
Man i love this "new" motomadness, thank you for spreading examples and value information. Always think about the ones waiting for you and if you dont have anyone waiting, think about yourself 💪
Man. Don’t wear those ugly graffiti riding pants unless you are experienced. It really makes you look extra silly. Please extend that year off, for the sake of all of us on the road.
I love your channel. I have to say, most of these accidents and near misses are the fault of the rider. I commute an hour and twenty minutes each way to work on an R6 every day, rain or shine. In heavy traffic, part highway, part two lane road, lots of cross streets, deer crossings and everyone pushing up your a$$ almost the entire way. A lot of these guys fail to recognize the fact that most drivers are watching for other cars or trucks, so they need to expect that other drivers don't or won't see them. Get out of people's blinds spots, because yes, most drivers are careless and not thinking, " I should turn my head in case there's a motorcycle to the side of me". Be realistic and know that most drivers are distracted and not expecting a bike to be there. I'm all for riding fast, but knowing when it's a bad idea is something that you have to think about while riding. Stay safe everyone!
4:18 Bassman says the dog "didn't make it". Hope he knows him checking his stupid bike instead of checking on the dog and helping it is the reason it died.
I really like the changeup of the intro to less harsh! In days past it was hard to get the volume down in time to avoid speaker or ear abuse, so I quit viewing quite often. The added commentary is good too. 👍👍 Subscribed again.
Shhhh - keep it down, everyone! If they become smarter riders, we can't enjoy their poor decisions. Motomadness needs a job, we need to keep stupid riders stupid.
1:58 Tire pressure is no joke. The only time I crashed was because I didn't ride for a while and forgot to check the pressure. I crashed on a perfectly good and clean road not even close to what my limit on that bike should have been. It was 6psi down, btw, and you can crearly feel the difference. Did he crash because he added throttle when he was still on a decent lean angle? Yes, but it was AGES from the limit of that bike.
Motorcycles have these cool things called stabilizers, they are primary used to keep the bikes front tire inline, well when u get death wobbles and you hold on your preventing the stabilizer to stabilize the bike, in other words let go of the handle bars lol
1-It's not his tire pressure that is the issue- Lol. 2-Hope that nice Guzzi wasn't too scuffed up. 3-Target fixation is the newer kinder saying for "I can't handle this bike yet, shoulda spent another year on the 400 before buying a GSXR/Busa/Ducati". I say this with 45 years experience (62 now), 16 different bikes and well over 100k on the clock that I certainly wished for a mattress a few times-gonna say they were pretty much all my fault too. Under-skilled, over-powered bikes, group mentality and of course alcohol were my issues, just to name a few.
1:30 as far as high-sides go, that was not the worst... it was more linear as opposed to a catapult action that normally occurs.. still looks like it hurt like a b*tch tho and hope they are fine.
Guys! Don’t you all know about all that loose , unhinged gravel?! It hunts down, unwary, motorcycle riders, and those who are speeding or not paying attention… It jumps up, grabs their tires and throws the bikes around!!😂
Bro. Bro! Oh no, bro. You good, bro? Bro! What happened, bro? I was like "Bro," and you were all, "Bro!" Bro, you bro, bro? Bro bro, bro! Bro bro bro. Bro bro? Bro bro bro bro.
By the way I did that yesterday it was horrible I keep Fasching it up I fell down a car skit by I was wearing gear you are telling the truth because we’re in gear is more better
Do I like that I have a bike that can scoot when I need it? Yes. Was it fun to ride it really fast once or twice? Yes. Is it necessary to actually do that, unless getting around some slow traffic? No
Always enjoyed watching Moto. Just one biker ranting to others. Hopefully this community won't mind. 6-7 years now on a motorbike. Honda CB125F. Yeah I know what you're saying, I should have moved up. I couldn't afford it. Simple as. But with years comes accidents. And I had my share. It hurts! But for the last few.. I'd say three years, I've been accident free. One more if you exclude someone going into the back of me. You take a knock. No. You need to take a knock to learn. And so I did. My motorbike was stolen and stripped recently. I admit I was bored of my 125. But it was mine. My freedom. And as I said. You take a knock. You learn. And I learned how to properly look after my bike. This is how I get repayed. It still hurts. In Devon, England. I've had a few recommendations ride routes. I just never got round to it. Now I regret it. Anyways. If anyone read this far. Take care! And thanks.
Accelerating and changing lanes does not cause speed wobbles. Dude hit uneven road surface and/or a cats-eye at 160mph, lol. That's what nearly killed him.
I have a feeling someone likes the saying (bring the mattress) 😅 I find it fairly amusing, especially when a mattress is edited under a downed biker. ❤ Keep up the good work, we appreciate it 🙏
The steering stem snapped. That’s bs that’s was not made correctly. Must have been flawed in some way. Or was not put toghere rite. That’s terrifying wow
0:50 is at fault as much as the car. He filtered while basically cutting the vehicle behind him off and then suddenly breaking. Moreover, he might even blocked the view of traffic lights for the driver by coming on the left side. This is UK, filtering is legal, but in this situation it contributed to the accident because done not safely.
@@AdventureswithLandon It's very basic but gets the job done. Shame I can't contact anyone on their platform though :/ I will be uploading raw edits (No commentary) there soon.
I have seen some stunts pulled by bag heads. I used to ride until smashed into by a speeding car that came out of a junction just as I was passing the junction.
2:19 : 6 psi tire pressure higher is nothing and had nothing to do with this crashing , maybe a bit of gravel , bad handling ? Been riding for 40 years with all kind of tire pressures and never hit the deck . 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂
Lose gravel prevented being able to stop in time... Ffs no.. to high speed and tow low skills prevented guy stopping his bike. Environment is never to blame. Absolutely never.
1:22 he was fucked by the time he hit that loose gravel. if anything it helped him go over and roll instead of going head first into one of those trees and a broken neck. 2:43 there's this thing called "defensive riding" that actual bikers use. It involves spotting an idiot plainly about to do something stupid and not just riding on normally like you're king of the road. 4:33 this biker was new to the game, and instead of buying a learner bike, he bought a ZX6R. 6:13 for any new riders out there, before you go hitting the roads, do some research on why buying an MT-10 might not be the best idea. 6:33 he said his next mistake was trying to ride a motorcycle when he has the sense of balance that would see him flip a steam roller over.
