There's no getting around physics...no matter how good your tires are.My video clearly shows a frontend slide.Loss of grip.Nowhere to go but over.Nothing was gonna pull it back out.Too much weight,too much velocity.I overloaded the front tire.Ran out of curve.Speed...that's pretty much what got me...and a two lane road with the oncoming lane taken up by a passing vehicle.I'd have made it if I hadn't been moving so fast.Just not enough time and space.

Very similar to Rook's track vid..his corner episode.I will never use Dunlops again however.I just don't trust their ability to hold with a bike bike at speed.Second set of Dunlops....crashed both times with em.IDK...I'm not blaming the tires...BUT....two out of two isn't very good.

There were(and are)others who've complained about the grip with Dunlops....street tires anyway.Coincedence?IDK.

Have a set of Q2s going on the new CZ rims. WIll let you know what I think. I'm taking it easy with the cold and leaf dust this time of year. I've gotten used to feeling a quick rear end drift on slower corners. Not too big a deal but yeah, I don't like that front loosing grip braking....much less so cornering.

For as much damage as it did to the bike...it actually looks pretty tame(the crash)...but I can't tell the very 'end' of what I'm seeing....I do know the engine took a serious hit....broke the motor open at the front and on the left side.I must have hit pretty hard....to get past the frontend and hit the motor.It doesn't look like it.but it's a big hit.Lots of weight with the 14...and moving fast..I don't remember anything truthfully.

Looks like a boulder or something at the end...geez...makes me sick just watching it.I've no idea where I ended up in the vid....no idea.I don't think she highsided....but maybe?My dealer said the bike was a total loss...yet my friend who went and picked her up said the right side piping and all was very damaged,but not 'gone'....I did see some stills he took..the bodywork and all is gone....ripped right off...


Uploading now...you guys be the judge...maybe you could tell me...what I did wrong here.

Romans; I already posted that video. How did you miss the girl on girl action?



Before your criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and have their shoes.
