I had to watch the crash a couple times. It all happened so quick and you really weren't going fast. I actually learned a lot from this Sam.👍🤘

@SamVBikes Год назад

It went down stupidly fast didn't it?! Thanks mate!

@m2kk 5 месяцев назад

sorry, but what to learn about this?

@MarcEasen Год назад

The traction control of mine has saved me from this on few occasions. There’s just too much crap on roads at this time of year. You’re very brave to be in rally mode with it TC set to 1. 😮😂

@SamVBikes Год назад

Haha yes! I've been saved a few times by it even on 1! I do wonder if it would have saved the crash if I had it up higher! It's basically been on 1 since I bought it 2 years ago 😂

@jonasbaine3538 Год назад

@@SamVBikes Any particular reason why to have TC at lowest setting while street riding? Wheelie control tied to or separate from TC?

@maumauplayz4835 Год назад

Mate glad you’re ok. If you had your traction control set higher than 1 it probably would have saved you. You can hear you touched the throttle whilst going over the gravel.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Thanks! Yeah not sure if it would or not. Front slipped first then the rear followed so not sure if TC would have saved the front end. The throttle would have stopped with higher traction control though! We will never know haha

@capt.nandhakumar2009 Год назад

Exactly my thoughts too. Wonder if it would have helped on a higher traction control setting. Glad you are safe. Delighted with your cheerful spirit after that. Cheaper to replace broken bike parts than serious body injuries. Looking at the brighter side.

@NooBiker Год назад

Thanks for putting this up and sharing your experience. Seems like you may have given the throttle a little twist just as you were going around the corner and that took some weight off the front?

@SamVBikes Год назад

The throttle twist was because the bike slipped under me, and as my elbow was low due to cornering, it slipped down and pulled the throttle on. Definitely not on purpose!

@JaySalvoUK Год назад

You did the best thing and got straight back on the horse pal. Save the exhaust and bars for when you take a trip out on the green lanes and you can be sure you’ll never come off again. Only shiny things get bent 😉

@SamVBikes Год назад

Yes definitely! Always good to get back on! Hoping I'll have a new set of bars in the post!

@crossfitchunk Год назад

Shame about the off mate. Just wondering, would the bike saved it's self, if it wasn't in rally mode?

@SamVBikes Год назад

Not sure bud. The front end slipped first so I don't think any traction control would save that. My arm dropped and opened the throttle which span the rear wheel up more, so it might have saved that. Even in TC1, the bike has saved the more extreme slides, on and off road, so I'm not sure. Was really thick gravel about 2ft across the road

depending on the country but you can actually make a complain to the town / city where you crashed for the maintenance of the roads being the reason you crashed especialy in your case where the gravel was in the middle you couldnt evade it! in this case theu are responsible for the state of the roads and the city/town insurance has to pay for your repairs

@adyyzels Год назад

Slippery roads are a killer.. been through that a couple of times..

@critch. Год назад

I hit gravel on a bend last year doing 60 on my SAS. The front tyre slid sideways to the nearside about a foot but it was in the heatwave, the roads were super hot and my tyres were super hot so my front tyre regained traction as it slid off the gravel. Very lucky. Could have been horrible, fence and hedgerow to left, traffic oncoming... Anyway I stopped at a cafe 5 mins later and grabbed a coffee to recompose myself and let the adrenaline dissipate. Lateral washouts happen so quick you just don't see it coming. I'm extra vigilant about gravel on bends now. Good that you were not hurt.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Ahh that was really lucky! Glad you managed to regain traction! Too right, they are so quick to happen!

Pick your line left or right car tyre track. Can’t go in the middle if not gravel could be leaves or oil. I had the thing but regained the rear end sending me down a gravel road luckily it want a bush. Glad you’re ok. Lesson learned 🍻

@SamVBikes 11 месяцев назад

Oddly enough, from what I can see from videos and tutorials I've seen, most of the advanced riding course teach you to cross from the outside to inside, or vice versa, when you can see the exit of the corner.. meaning if I was riding in either track, following their guidance, I'd have been in the same position. But yes like you say, all okay and keep an eye out further up the road in future

@stevek4449 3 месяца назад

Regarding that gravel crash. If you see the gravel coming up, is it better to hold or cut the throttle to coast, assuming you can’t brake beforehand?

@SamVBikes 3 месяца назад

On the road, with road tyres, do your best to avoid it. The front wheel is normally the problem because that sliding out from underneath you can't really be stopped. Rear wheel going through, I would say constant gentle throttle and no braking. If it was just my rear wheel going through I doubt I would have come off!

Rally mode traction control dialled right down to 1 then powering out the bend in drizzle that all adds up to what happened sad to say

@Ispiro-kz1is Год назад

@@SamVBikes Thank you for taking time to read my comment. I have to thank you Sam, for your channel and adventures, as I purchased a new 1290 SAS (my 22nd bike) after watching your videos. I never new I was a KTM Boy! I have just experienced myself a rear slide while commuting to work on a mini roundabout. I inadvertently changed the engine map without knowing (probably by flicking C1 or probably I forgot to reverse to street mode while still learning to navigate the system). I've had a few moments over the last 25 years, especially with the Tuono V2, and other bikes too. The 1290 torque is too much for the mighty Mitas 🙂 Is there a way to have the Anti-Wheelie Control off while still having full Anti-Wheel Spin on? I would prefer if KTM had a direct proprietary buttons for engine maps and ABS. You did handle your spill with grace and panache Sam, I give you that. Keep smiling and laughing Sam, brilliant 🙂. Thanks again

@SamVBikes Год назад

You're more than welcome! Congratulations on the new bike too! I dont think there is a way to turn the wheelie control and slide control off/on separately unfortunately but I find in TC4, the bike will still wheelie without the back sliding too much! Thank you for watching and commenting!

The throttle opening was because the rear wheel span up and slipped out, definitely not intentional. Doing that intentionally mid corner is asking for a hospital trip!

@bikerguy3339 Год назад

I have watched many times, you definitely opened the throttle and that's when the wheel list grip. Before you came off on other corners you was also on the throttle as you saw the corner opening up. On dirty roads its safer to stay on maintenance throttle all the way through the corner.

@SamVBikes Год назад

If you watch any other corner in the video, I maintain throttle and gently apply throttle as I'm exiting the corner. Giving it a hand full when I'm mid way through the corner would have ended up with me in the bushes. That amount of throttle isn't applied unless I'm on a straight trying to get the front up

looking at that gravel or not..the traction control if set up properly would definitely have saved that, in rally mode tc1 you want the bike to spin up, that's the whole idea of that function, on a shitty cold road in April with it raining as well you are literally asking for trouble..sorry...you're ok that's the main thing

@SamVBikes Год назад

The thickness of the gravel and the fact that the front end slipped first, I don't think any amount of traction control would have saved it unfortunately. It may have saved me if the back didn't spin up as much but will never know! My traction control has essentially been on level 1 since I bought the bike nearly 2 years ago riding almost every day, apart from on icey mornings. It's never affected me before, and the bike still saves the back end stepping too far out even on TC1, so I think this was just too much Yes definitely the main thing, no one was hurt!

I threw a brand new 2 day old suzuki bandit down the road some years ago.a mate told me I had to be 'zen' about these things.coz some times shit happens and at least we are ok.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Sucks doesn't it! Best way to be about things.. you'll end up causing more damage if you stay annoyed about it

Hey Sam glad to see yer all in one piece! Just got my 2023 1290 SAS here in USA 3 weeks ago. Any advice about the Conti's vs Road 6 and when is the video on bark busters coming out?!? Keep up the good work your videos helped push me towards this bike.... coming from s1000r. Mike D

@SamVBikes Год назад

Congratulations on the new bike! If you want an only road tyre, I'd go for the Road 6. Contis are great but in the wet, the Road 6 can't be beaten! Barkbusters vid is set to go live Wednesday next week! Thank you! Safe ride

@ledwardio Год назад

Oh no 😞 That was a bit of bad luck Sam and not the riding-like-a-knob scenario I expected.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Haha yeah! I fully expected it to happen when I was riding quicker, but glad it wasn't!

@burns2142 8 месяцев назад

Had something similar happen to me the crash bars are a god send. Glad you and the bike was ok. Happy days 😎👍

@SamVBikes 8 месяцев назад

Thank you mate! You're right, I'd have been a lost worse off without the bars

@lygase Год назад

Sunday bedtime viewage... I have properly got an adrenaline rush watching this.. Gutted mate, I mean in terms of 'content' it's great 😂 glad you're ok. Sorry about the punishment on the wallet already!

@SamVBikes Год назад

I'm happy this has become your routine 😂 Yeah the click bait seems to be working so far! Although I'm getting told how useless and wrong I am by many people which makes me feel like I'm in detention at school haha!

@red.riot.2280 Год назад

Single handedly sold me on those crash bars and maybe the wings. I like the dominator too. But know nothing about the brand.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Haha! I'm so happy I invested in those bars! I've just found out the Wings doesn't have an E mark on it so not legal on the roads in the EU... so I might have to stick with Arrow

@moyanak Год назад

Glad you and the bike are ok. Bro, what setting on your EzCan is that where your Denalis flash repeatedly when you start up the bike?

@SamVBikes Год назад

Thank you! They don't! It's just the camera frame rate which makes it looks like they flash. Point your phone camera at them, lower the exposure on the phone and they all do it!

@kohinoore Год назад

From camera view that looked like an oil spill with a little bit of drizzle on top. A story with happy ending is always remembered best.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Yeah very true! It was really thick gravel that must have come off the back of a truck!

@Eds_PanAm Год назад

dude! damn! that happened quick!! glad your good to go except for the ego lol i contacted those guys before to see if they were gonna make bars for the panam and they said no, i was kinda disappointed......AltRider is developing some though......look like you might hit your throttle in that turn also, wel i will say you sold me on barkbusters!....man, shit can happen so quick!!! again, glad your good to go! sláinte

@SamVBikes Год назад

Yeah it went down so fast! But so happy I have the protection on the bike! The throttle pull was because my elbow was low, so when the bike slipped my weight went down onto my elbow. Should have had the arm slightly to the right so it didn't drop and roll on!

@Eds_PanAm Год назад

@@SamVBikes gotcha...your smart and wear gear, i started wearing good gear last year...i'd love to ride one of those KTM's but I'm vertically challnged lol I would have felt the same way about the exhaust!

@bigt18cross Год назад

I was going to come on this but couldn’t make it Was you still on the trail attack 3’s Sam? Ironic your last video was saying you can just fly over any bit of muck in the road 😂 glad your ok mate

@SamVBikes Год назад

Yes mate still on the TA3's. I think I'd have only saved that if I was on proper knobblies! Thank you mate!

@dirtbikelunatic Год назад

Hello! Would it be okay to use it in moto edit? Full credited of course

@SamVBikes Год назад

Hey! Yeah sure!

@dirtbikelunatic Год назад

@@SamVBikes Thanks a lot :)

@steve60855 Год назад

Outback motortek crash bars probably some of best on market,been looking at these for my 1290s….£800 for upper & lower,but looking at your bike probably worth every penny,shame about the Arrow though😢😃

@SamVBikes Год назад

Too right! They are worth their weight in gold! So happy I invested in them!

@johnboy5156 Год назад

What was that you were saying.. Oops... You'll be fine Sam s*** happens buddy 👍 Crash bars did a great job ❤

@SamVBikes Год назад

Haha yeah it does! Never mind!

@Carlnewman68 Год назад

Any news re damage and a walk round of the big , did you trousers and jacket hold out

@SamVBikes Год назад

Got a full breakdown vid coming soon! Just waiting for some repair parts to arrive so I can finish the vid! I came off VERY lightly. Jacket and Trousers were great.. Small scratch on my leg

@avalanx Год назад

TC completely off?

@SamVBikes Год назад

Nope just turned down low which probably didn't help

@erayatalag2207 Год назад

It was bad luck but i am happy that you have nothing and minor damages to the bike Little paint work will shine your bars again Wing exhaust alternative will be a great idea.

@SamVBikes Год назад

Thank you! Yes it could be the replacement If I can't get mine repaired!
