Technically it's not corner speed unless you get round the corner surely

Glad you're OK mate, the bike can be fixed

No, the reason you'll never have a bike is because you are a big gay that can barely control a car let alone a motorcycle

Dont really think anyone needs to say it tbh, the guy openly admitted he went into a corner far too fast ran out of skill and as a result is lucky he isnt laying dead on the road or in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. I reckon he knows how lucky and at the same time how stupid it was

I agree, it doesnt need saying, but something that 'goes without saying' very rarely 'goes without saying' on BB's thats all. Glad this is an exception

Usual suspect...the problem being is you have to ride as fast as this rider has to find the limit...thats the problem!..Plus on the early models the power delivery is pretty viscious...like for example they will wheelie BEFORE you hit the powerband!

Don't forget the burgers lol

I'm gonna have a Hollywood (well film) themed party for my 30th. Wonder if I can get Waps to go as an Umpa? Already trying to coerce Northern Richard into coming as Sponge Bob Square Pants lol.

Thats stupid riding!!
Seriously though, lucky I would say, but only stupid if you do it again.
Bike looks amazingly untouched wouldnt recommend laying under it everytime you come off though, bound to wear through your bones sooner or late
You have crash mushrooms on the R1?
I know what it feels like to enter a corner far too fast, me and a mate were doing 110MPH going into a 50KPH left turn in France, (private road that I own) and the corner tightened, went for brakes but made it worse, had to stand it up and throw it in to the next turn which was a right, hurrendous and had us thinking how lucky we were that there was another lane only occupied by a Renault5 that we could bale out on, for the rest of the week while out there

Take care mate and hope you mend

That bike looks hardly touched

Very lucky on all counts

A pal of mine dropped an R6 on an island ( actually didnt see the island at all untill the last count down marker) Recon he put it down at around 60 & it nearly destroyed it

We had to replace almost everything apart from wheels, frame & engine

Best was he had only borrowed it so had to write a cheque for £4k when we got home too
