Thread: Motorcycle talk

^ I should probably get a street fighter style like that. They just look less suicidal than a sport bike. My wife might not be too thrilled with a sport bike.

But I like RPM. I want rev past 10,000+ RPM. Thats why I like R6's.

And you know this how ?

It is self evident. And there's a ton of evidence for it. Including from ppl who have crashed themselves. Including this person

Failure to Negotiate the Curve

Like most single-rider accidents, my accident occurred on a curve. Most non-riders think cornering accidents happen because the rider is going too fast for the curve. In fact, it’s generally the case the speed isn’t too fast for the curve, but perhaps too fast for the rider’s skill level. A motorcycle can take curves at incredibly high speeds, but it takes skill and focus to do this. In my case, I was probably going 30 mph in a curve that was signed at 35 mph.

It is reported that 57% of the total fatal single motorcycle crashes occur on curves, although they represent only about 6% of the total road network.

In the United States, there are as many as three times the number of more severe crashes along curves compared to crashes at tangent sections (Khan, 2012). Smaiah et al. reports that more than 50% of the powered two-wheeler crashes occur in bends due to loss of control. They also mention that in France almost a third of the total motorcycle crashes in curves are fatal.

Err...a statement of the obvious. Same for cars or anything else I reckon. Happens when going too fast in a curve.

As I thought, you don't know.

Just flapping your cum stained lips again..... as usual.

I do know. And you probably do too. You are just being a fuckhead like usual.

The riders are going too fast for their riding ability.

This rider is not going fast. But he tries to keep the bike upright and he cant even come close to making the turn. It is a very gradual curve on a double lane highway. Would he have made the turn going 15 kh/m ? Yes. But you cannot ride at 15 km/h on the highway. The guy in front of him knows what he's doing and takes the turn with ease.

But after this accident everyone probably thought hey, he went too fast through the curve. This is what is happening with most of these tourist on motorcycle accidents in curves.

Here's another one. He cant even begin to get the bike to turn. He just rides it right into the rail. If you cant even start turning the bike, how could you possibly say that speed was the cause of the accident ? Counter steering and leaning is relevant at anything over 15 km/h. And this guy didn't know it.

But in the aftermath, obviously people will think we had another Valentino Rossi here, who went way too fast around the curve. Bikes are dangerous, don't you know..

How do you know, Did you witness the accident and the events leading up to it personally ?

Another one. The gif makes it look faster than in it is. The dashcam shows the speed of the truck at 28 mph. It is a double lane highway.

No countersteer, no lean, no turn. The bike is hardly turning at all. It turns just a little before he hits the guard rail.

^ Can the mods rename the thread Backspin Countersteers?

Is there any topic where skiddy doesn't prove himself to be a clueless-retarded moron?



This thread needs to be flushed down the shitter.

So skiddy, if these guys don't have a clue how to take a bend why don't we see the accidents at the first bend down the road from the bike shop?

Agree to disagree and move on. This thread only needs cleaned up. All bike talk in one place is a good idea.

yep, he's blowing his own thread, silly boy

Maybe he should learn how to properly ride a motorcycle before starting a thread about them.

Everyone comes in hot and hits the brakes once.

Not everyone gets a second chance to accelerate out of the next one.

I thought it is pushing down on the right grip to turn right. The opposite of say a bicycle.

Countersteering is used by single-track vehicle operators, such as cyclists and motorcyclists, to initiate a turn toward a given direction by momentarily steering counter to the desired direction ("steer left to turn right"). To negotiate a turn successfully, the combined center of mass of the rider and the single-track vehicle must first be leaned in the direction of the turn, and steering briefly in the opposite direction causes that lean.[1] The rider's action of countersteering is sometimes referred to as "giving a steering command".[2][3]: 15 
The scientific literature does not provide a clear and comprehensive definition of countersteering. In fact, "a proper distinction between steer torque and steer angle ... is not always made.

Either way it should come naturally.
