    Bike crash posted on Aprilia Forum.

    Guess the guy is ok, but looks bad. Bike is a ZZR1200. http://www.zzr1200.net/albums/albun34/Brad.mpg

    Should have known he was going to blow the second corner seeing how he went over the double in that first turn.

    By the way the bike angle started to shake before crashing, he probably hit the rear brake to hard....

    Nah, he wouldn't have blown it I think. Unless the bike he was on couldn't take lean angles too well. But it just looked like he locked up the rear then let go that slammed him into the guard rail. A NEAR highside.

    Well now he has it on video so he can watch it over and over and over again. Maybe next time he should follow the other guys lines!

    Looked like there were those reflector bumps in the paint stripes too, he prolly hit some of those and freaked out. He wasn't even close to the lean angle limit of a Harley, let alone a sportbike. Just an inexperienced rider getting in over his head.

    They should show this one in the MSF class... (or show it as why you should take said class!)

    or why not to ride for the ones that are of little wit and nerves on a tricycle let alone an iron horse.

    I wonder if he knew he was riding a motorcycle? Maybe next time he should try "turning".

    I think he might have been too busy seeing what speed he was going.
