    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Good illustration of why not to run car tires on a bike.

How about start with putting the proper tire on the bike! Not to say it can't be done - but if you're planning on doing more than riding in a straight line and still do that, well then... idiot is the only word that comes to mind.

Really? That's ONLY word that comes to mind? I don't think so. But I'll leave those other words right there, in mind and not out in the air. :rolleyes:
 
Too bad we can't see the landing. I doubt he stuck it, but some high sides are much worse than others. He didn't seem to get a lot of "loft", so maybe it wasn't so bad.

It looks to me like he may have been "caught" by his ride, maybe his right leg.
 
Just looked again, I think he was flung free of the bike. Wonder what/who he landed on. I also noticed, between frame 11 and the next curve, maybe 100 yards he could have gone straight ahead, even the car tire POS should have been able to stop in that distance going straight. I wonder if he was a "no front brakes for me" kind of guy? in the earlier frames, where he should have been slowing down, his right hand is not even on the lever.

Say that place the photos are at, is that those guys I heard about that stand along The Dragon and take pictures of people wrecking? Seems like they have a lot of subject matter.

They take great action shots of riders carving the corners, which can then be purchased from them. Probably part of the problem, since squids try to get as impressive a lean as possible, for the cameras , and down they go.:rolleyes:
