    He kicked his shoe off in a fit of joy.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    wow.

    looks to be a newer gsxr. tough brake.

    target fixation maybe? or just overshot the corner? Its probably better that he hit the blazer instead of the trees, or the gorge that is possibly on the other side of the road.

    Re: Dragon Crash

    Id say target fixation. That bike had just a little bit more lean angle left to make the corner IMO.

    I don't think he likes Chevy's to much. Bike looks like it is practically upright and he is trying to hip check the truck, he is leaning to the outside of the corner

    Re: Dragon Crash

    From the pictograph, one can discerne that the man had an extremely rough childhood. He was probably a middle child. He definitely had a creepy uncle who was all too eager to babysit him and his parents were too dumb to put 2 and 2 together. Most likely he has something of a learning disability. But in the end, he never let that any of that stand in the way of his success. One can assume that he is a manager of a very successful pizzeria as well as an accomplished backgammon player.

    Re: Dragon Crash

    For hitting a Car with a Sportbike I think it went pretty well. Cant really ask for more

    If you go around hitting cars with your bike.


    Thats the way you want to do it.

    I did that to a nun in a sedan on my ex's F4, used my body to absorb all the impact, still totaled the bike and fucked up the car pretty good, but the important thing is I got hurt.

    X2.

    I'm also fairly sure that crash was my fault. I think I got some of my stupid on him, and he was so anxious to get it off he rubbed it off on the blazer. Clearly he was so happy to get the stupid off that he kicked a shoe off in a fit of joy, as hessogood pointed out.

    One of the comments on Gizmodo got it right: He hit a Proof in the road and lost control.

    Look how bent his foot/ankle is. It looks like there is something sticking out. That doesn't look too fun.

    Not even. He's shoeless on the first frame. Notice the white thing on the left side of the bike.

    I'd say that ankle got crunched.

    squid!
    From the looks of it he was probably already out of control. Most likely went in to hot, and ran out of road. He should of used hi "Easy BUtton"

    I want to know who was just leisurely standing at the side of the road filming the whole thing without even flinching as the guy goes down.

    He probably had the camera on burst shot and captured the whole thing as it unfolded.
