Onboard data acquisition and logging which surveys trajectory from GPS and engine and suspension parameters with dedicated sensors. Basically all that expensive and unobtainable electronic gizmos on the factory bikes.
OK I can see how that might help. I was really hoping we could get some more info from the rider, but like it was said, he may not even know. Thanks for the 411 Jim.

I think the point is that you dont need all that to determine why this rider crashed, contrary to someone's previous post on this thread.

You buy the MXL for $2199 for me and I will let you review the telemetry data as often as you like.
I only brought up the idea that the data might help understand what was happening. You took it further. Jim, you're an expert and real fast (top ten ROR). You race in all sorts of events and have lots of sponsors. You have great equipment and support. You are in the public eye and a spokesperson for racing and motorcycling in general. Your words, actions, thoughts and deeds--however simple they may be, are well intentioned, I'm sure. I wish you continued success.You buy the MXL for $2199 for me and I will let you review the telemetry data as often as you like.
And If I was rich, and if you win the championship in ROR, maybe I'd buy you one so you could share the information with everyone.

It was a crab.
There were two crabs.
They work in pairs.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
. I needed that.
I'll take a hint. I'm done with this one. Time for a cool down lap.

Michael, I was only pointing out that telemetry data, whether its from a $2000 unit from AIM, or $200,000 unit on a motogp bike, isnt necessary to draw a conclusion why the rider in the video crashed. Believe me, I would love to have that AIM unit but alas I cant afford it.If you have as much of a chance of getting rich as me winning the ROR championship, then you wont be buying it for me anytime soon.

Did you just call Pilot, Michael?
That's it! Pilots new name is now henseforth Kitt!
If I remember right, Kitt was the name of this talking car that this one guy drove around. I think that maybe he was the owner, or maybe it was just a lease, I can't recall.
But anyway, Kitt was this guys car. And they used to talk and drive around, whatever... Pick up chicks. I just can't remember what the flippin' dude's name was though!

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

How about we try Hasselhoff??
I dunno Joe. That's a lot of spelling, to just re-nick somebody. Maybe you can mix in "Hoff" for short, but something inside of me just has to go with Kitt.

Already taken...Jeff Black.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
dammit! Kitt it is....you win barn
In all seriousness though.....does anyone know how the rider is? I have not seen anything on his condition posted??
P.S. Michael Knight's car was named KITT.

All I got for xmas was some coal and tube socks
But for the glorious day of April 11th I got invited to help test and deveolp this sweet new TC system
It is what it is
You guys are all wrong. Carlos Checa made an 'aggressive' move and took him out.Angle of bike was low (he was moving around on the bike in the midst of the turn (see knee), tire broke loose, toe looks to have hit, knee was jerked back and off bike, inside weight transfer stability cut loose, weight transfered up and over bike, bike was pushed further under him (note: in turn his shoulders and head were left of the bike's centerline, throttle cut off, tire hooked up, bike stood up, he popped off the seat and he went overboard. Had he stayed on the gas he it may have just been a lowside. Toe was not the cause, but a big factor.
