Lmao, that's awesome.

 

[D1gger]

That was hilarious!

 

[Drako]

LOL, the little green guy was so pissed off

 

[Tweak155]

That was pretty funny, mainly because they didn't seem to be hurt.

Well yea I'm not gonna post a bike crash where people get hurt and call it hilarious.

Throttle was stuck on the green bike and it was in gear. Pretty funny though.

LOL. Is it just me or did it look like that was a really slow motorcycle race? It looked like they were all doing about 30mph.

There was a yellow flag in that area and also, by the looks of it, a pretty sharp turn.. with a damp track.

I thought it was going to be another guy from Jackass killing himself.
Once a week is enough.

Needs some Yakety Sax.

The green guy was 10/10 mad.

Yah - It did look like a slow corner - Maybe 60.

Once the Yellow flag is out, the riders are supposed to cool down in that area of the track (no passing, etc). So that explains why the other guys are tippy~toe~ing around in the video.


That's at ***LeMans, right? Google~Fu says the average speed for an open class bike during the daytime for an endurance race is around 150KM/H.

Moto GrandPrix bikes can touch 300KM/H on the straights at many tracks. The (theoretical) max on a long enough straightaway is something like 350 KM/H (217 MP/H) for the very fastest bikes.


***Self Correction: It's at Magny Cours (France) - I haven't found speed listings, but the full course is 4.4 Kilometers long, and the winner of the last Superbike race was running 1.37.6 lap times.

The guy trying to catch the bike while it was spinning, and then walking away completely pissed off was hilarious.

 

[SandEagle]

that is aWesome

Green guy rage /quit.

Don't knock twice a week until you've tried it.

Little is right. I doubt horse jockey little, but little nonetheless.

Seems like a kill switch like they have on Jet Ski's would be a good idea. You know those cables that attach to your wrist so that if the rider falls off it becomes disconnected from the bike and kills the engine.

that one guy has emotional issues.

I get emotional in competitions too. It's those unexpected accidents that you just can't control, but wish you couldcontrol, type-deals.

 

[aleckz]

that one guy has emotional issues.

Probably doesn't help that he was in the lead pack, he got hit, and then his bike spun until it finally stopped and the engine was shut off.

I would suspect that if your bike shuts off that you cannot re-enter the race.
