I WRECKED My R1M Off a CLIFF..... 

You wreck them faster than you build them. Stay safe man wish you the best! You might have pushed it a bit past your skill level. Bikes can be replaced tho.

Target fixation along with riding outside of ones ability will always end this way. Keep it shiny side up my guy!

Could see that going wrong from a mile away... out with ''the boys'', pushing harder than skill and road knowledge allow.... luckily you got off with nothing more than a bruised ego.... Stay save dude!! There is more to life than kicks and trills! 😉

hope you are ok CJ i just watched all your r1m rebuild videos and didnt watch this till today. It happened to me 1 month ago, at least you didnt broke anything from your body. Just hope you come better with this. Learn from our mistakes and work hard to be a better version of ourselves. keep it the good work.

Classic case of target fixation. You go where you're looking. Can't say that I've never done that as a rider years ago. Lesson learned.

advice from an old biker never exceed your capabilities always keep your limits the fact that someone goes faster than you does not mean that you can do it unless you train a lot and I recommend that you do it on a track not on the street Good luck and I'm glad you turned out well

What a good bunch of friends to stick with you through that whole ordeal. I’m glad you’re ok and just received a college education in motorcycle riding!

We need to be seeing the full exit of any bend/turn then smoothly accelerating when we have a clear view ahead. Glad your OK 👍 nice to see you had good buddies good support team. Well done guys, ride smoothly. Stay cool.

you are a true content creator, first you get your bike stolen, now you crash it. great storys to tell, thanks

take riding like this to the track. Its a controlled environment where you usually don't have to worry about cliff sides. May I also suggest an airbag system like the tech air 5 for future riding. I just went down at the track last weekend and messed up my shoulder, but my equipment saved the rest of my body. I'm glad youre alright, and heal up quick!

Glad you are okay! May I feature it in compilation? Full credited of course

Creo que lo importante es que saliste casi ileso de ese accidente que pudo haber sido peor, y que tenias a unos amigos que te ayudaron, ya la moto no importa, tienes muchas como quiera jajaja que te recuperes!

It’s an absolute miracle that you didn’t get hurt, very happy to see you alive and in good spirits. Definitely some target fixation going on there. You should look up tutorials on trail braking on RU-vid, it’s an excellent skill to have and it probably would have saved you from that crash. Stay safe!

Me alegra que estes bien, que no te haya pasado nada es un milagro y me alegra mucho bro, me da un poco de sentimiento ver esa moto asi... Ya que literalmente conoci tu canal cuando estabas restaurando esa R1M y me la vi de inicio a final la restauracion, es literalmente la moto de mis sueños y para mi tu eres una inspiracion bien grande a quien quiero ser, estoy muy feliz de que no te haya pasado nada y pronto esperamos la "Re-Rebuilding of my R1M" Saludos y bendiciones bro

Man.! Really glad you're safe. It did hurt to see a bike you rebuilt had ended up in this way. Glad you're safe. Stay strong, and never give up.

Sin duda eres mucho mejor mecánico que piloto...espero que estés bien y no haya sido nada importante. He descubierto tu canal hace dos días y me he visto toda la evolución de la R1...para acabar tirándola por un precipicio! 😂 Un saludo y un abrazo desde España.

Glad you're alight man, just some tips for anyone involved in a crash though: 1.) If you witness an accident on a group ride, first thing to do is scan the accident area and create a ' buffer ' between traffic and the injured person(s) eg; bike clearly visible in road with hazards to avoid more potential injury (cars coming around corner, etc), then proceed to call 911 and log the time of accident, this helps them keep track of everything, the faster they arrive, the better for everyone. If you have multiple people with you, divide the tasks up to act quicker. Taking pictures can also help if a third party vehicle was involved. 2.) Find the most quiet person on the scene, a person who's voice you can hear means they can breathe and are fully there, if someone is quiet, they need immediate attention. 3.) DON'T ever remove anyone's or own helmet after a crash unless you/they can't breathe, in case of any neck or head injury , the helmet can at least provide support, taking it off can possibly injure the rider even more, making you now liable for their further injury. Just some basic tips, but acting quickly can save someone's life, keep a med kit on you during rides so you at least have bandage and gloves in case you need to put pressure on an injury. Gear up and stay safe.

the bike would have easily taken it. EASILY. you made a rookie mistake here bro

Спасибо,парни! Очень подробно всё передано.Видно как оно всен вышло.Будьте безопасны!👍

Im so tired of these people who want 200hp on the road with superbikes and have skills nowhere near what it requires to exploit it or drive it fast.

can't stress enough on the importance of safety gears good to see you scratch less even after such a terrible fall. Drive safe buddy you have a long life to build bikes and ride

Seeing that huge cliff drop once you reached the wreckage.. truly humbling.. grateful that you're mostly unharmed. God's grace and mercy for sure. You'll bounce back from this!

You got lucky, it's a case of running before you can walk,litre bikes are no joke they are for experienced rides not beginners.

man those breaths are from someone who really cares a real brother. thank god you are well take care of yourself and also your good buddies🫶

Glad you're ok, just never ride too fast on roads you don't know.

The wreck feels so casual but that’s definitely not the case. I’m very glad you’re safe bro and sorry about the bike 😭 god was with you 🙏🏾

"Well...That's unfortunate" broooo love your freaking energy! Glad you didn't hurt. Stay safe! Ride Safe!

Dude, you Reborn! Happy Birthday and be safe.

To be honest it looked like you were riding beyond your ability as some of the turns you didn’t look to confident. Pity about the R1M but at least you are ok and live to see another day!

Glad you're ok and thank you for uploading the footage. Everyone can learn a lot from this

Twist of the wrist 2 ,he hit pretty much every SR Keith Code says in the cornering Bible , glad you're good broski 🙏🏾

Man glad to see you are fine. Stay safe and keep the faith. The bike is nothing you can't fix, or rebuild.

Thank god you are not badly injured. It’s heartbreaking to see your R1M laying there destroyed. I hope your not going to leave it there. I think it would make good content to somehow recover it back home and go over the damage.

you need some training and track experience, body position & throttle control NEEDS quite a lot of work

Poor decisions make great stories. Poor riding can make great stories too, or sad stories. Thanks for reminding us what not to do.

Thanks for sharing CJ. Luckily you were wearing the protection and your safe and sound.

Dude, great to see you’re good after this spill.

Ride safe sir sad to see the r1m was totaled 😢

Glad You are OK ! Super Glad you were wearing Full Gear ! And with a Group , Thank's to your First responders ! Be Safe Bro , Bless

I really enjoyed your R1 videos specially all that carbon fibre parts but feel really so sad now, but thanks God you’re ok. Stay safe dear bro

Let's not do this again

I’m glad you’re alright! As you now know you CANT heavily brake and turn at the same time. Get your self some track instruction before trying to carve up the road on a liter bike. MOST people don’t possess the skills to ride liter bikes at or anywhere near the limit. Hopefully you take this as a learning experience and get the track instruction you need. Heal up and keep the positive vibes going.

Can’t believe you posted this. Sure, I saw the title, but watching you ride, it was only going to be a matter of time. Road conditions weren’t great either, really, and then maybe you were riding the twisties with guys with far more skill level. It is best to ride at your own pace and skill levels, safely. Anybody can go fast in a straight line. Bucking around on the highway in traffic is not cool, either. Sometimes you have to let the others just go. One of my buddy’s I use to road race with, has had more bikes than me. He had an R1 and told me to take it out. I did, and came back. He said really take it for a ride. Now I have all kinds of experience on all kinds of bikes, on and off the track. I even drifted a Goldwing, spinning the rear tire with my wife on the back. However. , that R1, I had a difficult time keeping both the front and rear down almost all the time. But, then I could ride. I suggest you take racing lessons, go racing , and see what you and a bike can really do. Stay safe and always ride at your own pace. The potential is always going to be there for shite to happen. Decrease your odds.

I'm happy to see that you haven't hurt yourself and I'm sure you'll rebuild another R1 soon!!! All the best bro!!!

Could have been a lot worse. Please don't let this discourage your love of bikes and riding. Looks like you have a great group of friends there, btw. And thanks for sharing with us all.

Hope your OK after that one. Take care my guy

I bet your parts supplier loves it when you complete a bike. They know pretty soon you will be back for rebuild parts once they been wrecked

What a video man!! Glad you are ok and nothing happened to you. I was wondering if you can share what site you ended up using to recover your corrupt file. I have a few files myself and im trying to find a good program to try to recover the files. Ride safe out there and hope you can help me out..

That’s what happens when you get confidence and ability in the wrong order

Sits on the bike crossed up... Freezes in an easy turn instead of steering... Puts one foot down... Maybe, just maybe, you need to take some riding courses.

Glad your ok and the lord was looking out for you. I crashed my 22 R1 end of April. First crash after 20 years of riding. Very humbling and I thank the lord for watching over me and keeping me alive. I broke my humorous right at the shoulder and fractured my T11 vertebrae in my back but blessed to be here. I am still doing Physical therapy trying to recover. God bless brother and heal up soon.

I’m sorry thjs happened to you. Really glad to see you were wearing full gear. Ignore all the haters here. There are those that hafe crashed, and those who haven’t “yet”. Not sure if you ride on the track or how long you have been riding, but my advice. Go do a bunch of track schools. The California Superbike School, Yamaha Champs schools are both great. Get a Ninja 400, KTM390 of something small, and master that baby. Small bikes are way more fun and you will learn a ton. I’m an old man who has done 35 years of street and many many year of track. You got this. Just be open to learning ❤

WOW! that could've ended VERY very badly, I'm glad you were able to walk away man! Don't fret about the bike, they can be rebuilt/replaced, you can't. Tormod is right, your eyes are the most important tool you use when you ride. You go where you look, you get your sense of speed from them. That corner didn't look too difficult from the footage, it actually resembles a corner where my best friend went down last summer, his pace was a little aggressive and he target fixated. Looks like the same might've happened here? Again, glad you're able to walk away from it. Look at it as a lesson learned. Ride safe!

Hopefully you are fine. Best way imo to check yours and bike performance is to go a track it's will be much safer for you;)

Glad you are alight. That looks like the road out of Tortilla Flats in AZ (End of Pavement). I love riding my RSV4 out there!

Glad you made it out of this unscathed. Definitely scary how close you were to getting seriously hurt. What program did you use to recover the corrupted video file?

Need smaller bike to learn the basics like proper counter steer need to lean not panick break ......glad you ok man lucky as

It does not look like you went that fast around the corner. What was you speed? May be you just need to improve your skill a little to tackle the issue like this.

Wow really scary bro, you did your best to stay alive ! Looking the video is not the same as being on the handlebar, but i'll give some tips for ppl who's here watching and beggining motorcycle, this shit happened to me, missing a corner or going too fast in it, sometimes you learned it the hard way. As a first tips i'll say FOV : Try to always keep on the exterior of the corner to maximize the vision of the road, the farest u can see the more you got info like is there an other corner, or a tractor, etc, and ALWAYS make sure you adapt the allure to allows you to get enough distance to brake. And in a corner forget about the track path from circuit for the chrono, on the road your main goal is environment and road info and adapt with it. Second one is no ego : drive fast for you, not to impress others, if you drive in convoi dont let the thrill and ego pushing you out of your driving limits. Also here in europe i see a lot of guys who's looking at your rear tyre and judging your skills because u don't worn all the tyre tread, there's different way to take a corner with your body etc, dont judge at the tyre you'll be surprized. 😂 Third one is the road always win : by this i mean that you can't control the road parameters, it can be dirty, used, snowy, wet, etc.. Always adapt your allure to the road parameters. 4th one, paranoïa : By these i mean adapt your focusness and keep in mind that no ones sees you, cars can pull over you at any time or reverse gear to park when you're behind, etc, and don't forget about intersection, had my first accident in 10 years few month ago in town because of this, you forget a small intersection with a redlight, you know the road, you do your thing everyday, and one night you got someone who go on red light while yours is green and if you're going too fast you'll say hello like i did on the car, hopefully i just had a radius fracture, managed to do traction and curls few weeks later eheh.. Ride safe ma boi'sssss and eat some baguette 🥖

looked kinda like you had a hard time with commitment ....lol glad your ok.. !!! now get out there!

a boy, thinks that reassembling a motorcycle and wearing a racing suit makes him a motorcycle racer. thank god it was only the bike that caused a total loss

Glad you're ok , please read the comments and take them in, that was a rookie mistake that could have been avoided.

So sorry to see this happen, but happy to hear you are doing well. As you know pretty well, the bikes can always be rebuilt.

I can't see why he didn't make the corner. Doing about 70mph on a relatively opening out corner. Classic panic move. Also knowing you are fine, quit laying around and get up and help your buddies out. Glad you're ok.

I'm glad you're ok, God was watching over you for sure. Stay safe!

My favorite road! Super technical! Really gotta take it easy on that road.

That lump of metal sticking out where you landed!!! Man you are one lucky guy! Glad you still with us

I think you should get more experience with smaller bikes and then jump to the big 1000cc bikes.

Lots of insurance policy's say they don't cover accidents that involve speeding, racing, stunting, stupidity, etc so if you think you can just throw your bike away and have insurance pay for it you may be in for a shock.

My tips! Practice cornering on trackdays on wider tracks first! Look up tire pressure information! Consider riding a motorcycle with pressures lower than the pressures reported in the motorcycle manual! Remember that setting the bike for maximum grip in corners makes the bike harder in a straight line, more tiring to ride in a straight line!

por eso siempre recomiendo andar en motos bajas cilindrada si lo que quieres en sensación de velocidad y full gas

Take care of yourself man you're one of a kind

Glad you are okay

We could say this bike got wrecked twice :) omg..9 months one from another..i really feel sad for you and for the bike! I hope you got to rethink that riding with your skills if you target fixate like that in a canyon..almost got killed..:(

Get well soon brother. We are very happy that nothing happened to you. You are riding the motorcycles of our dreams. I wish you to be a little more careful, take care of yourself.🤲🙏🇹🇷

CJ привет . сочувствую тебе с утратой боевого друга .Рад что с тобой все хорошо .Держись там братан .

Great roads and stay alive man! Never ever push the throttle too hard again just to show others you can accelerate (everybody knows) and then, don't get a corner ;) ride hard, ride safe(r)

Shout to the homies for helping you out but bro this brought back up some serious PTSD for me downed my bike early 2022 but I'm glad we both walked away from it....God be praised 🙌

next video. Rebuilding a ninja 400. Seriously man some of you and your friends are way past you capabilities when riding literbikes.

That's what happen when you start driving big bikes with small skills.

Glad you'r OK young man. Just flicked over your channel, looks good I look forward to watching your content .. . I've subbed . Having lost a few mates on bikes . Please look back at your video and learn from just before your crash . Peace ✌️ 🇬🇧

At first it looked to me that you didn't see the turn, but of course you did and it was target fixation. I have don that too, when I was lees experienced and in a lower speed. Train on look where you want to go, in every turn and always no matter the speed.

All my prayers are with you brother.

Don't worry, mom will buy you another toy.

OMG nooooo 🥺 RIP cute R1M🕊❤ Take care bro ❤

Okay, just going full Connor Cummins there! Glad you’re okay, ride safe!😁

CJ is such a nice guy but definitely, his riding skills are not au pair with the bikes he rides. GO straight to do riding training with California Superbike or Yamaha Champs and avoid risks and situations like that. That care brow

You crashed doing 51 mph on a good road with a bike well capable of cornering at 150 mph , if you drove a smaller bike with less hp you would have a lot more fun while improving your riding skills at the same time

I am glad you are ok, buddy. It looked gnarly

I don't live in Phoenix anymore but used to ride that road. Amazing! Curvy and smooth.

Squid mistake

U ar not for 1000 , Ride with 250

Hello friend, I am very sorry about the accident that happened to you, you put a lot of effort into that bike, luckily nothing happened to you, you are the beloved of God, please be careful and drive safely:)🏍✌

For those who want an explanation, it's very clear that he wasn't far enough in on his left shoulder. When bikes turn they actually go out wide, because of this when he went to go make that turn he couldnt because he was already too far over. Luckily he went in forward not sideways otherwise he could have been seriously injured. Anyways glad your alive, stay safe and wish you luck.

Some people just shouldn’t ride and don’t have the coordination for it

Oh yeah that sucks! So glad you dropped earlier cause dammm that would've really hurt. Also Damm your bikes gonna get way more wicked getting dragged back up that Clift

This was heart breaking to watch, the R1M build series was great, but so glad you weren’t injured. Someone was definitely watching over you that day.

Glad you are Ok bro. Been there done that, crashing sucks!

Glad you're ok.. my brother crashed his bike 30 years ago, and he has brain damage with loss of motor skills.. be careful.. God bless

You are lucky; this time God was with you but please ride more slowly ❤greatings from Spain😊
