if you are a really good stunter i assume the number of accidents you have with the bike will be fewer, but do you have the innate ability to keep the severity of a crash or drop minimized? or are they more spectacular?
He is doing the tricks he has on lock in that video, just like riding track or street if you dont try to push your limits your chances of crashing hard are minimized....The harder you go the harder you fall, most technical tricks dont get nailed your first try...So crashing the bike becomes part of learning new stuff...Quote:

so turning my 1199 into a stunt bike, i should work on my clutch control on something more "expendable" like my old 1098...ok, gotcha...but yeah, i guess slow crashes are easier to live with than one fast one that wipes the bike out...
obviously speed is always a big factor, but again that comes down to pushing your limits...You shouldnt be trying coasters at 120km/h your first time out, you should start at 20km/h and work your way up in speed....Jumping right to the big stuff doesnt always end wellQuote:

i saw a bike where the person transported his duc with the kickstand down, guess they had hit a bump or something, the kickstand broke off with a big chunk of the casing too...with a duc, the engine is part of the frame, so a light fall i would think would be far more devastating than most other bikes that at least have a full frame regardless of crash cage...is that a magnesium casing?
Thoroughly enjoyed that entire video. And how he jumped those steps at the very end there just on the rear wheel deserves major respect! It being a Ducati tops it all off.
My picture? Its the cam chain side of an aluimnum cylinder head from a 636....Not the first time eitherQuote:

There are a few riders sponsored by Ducati, Teach is on a BMW 1000RR.....There are others on Aprillia's, and some guys in Europe were on MV Agusta's....Quote:

great vid....seeing that size sprocket on that thing is funny....better start working on a stay for that thing too. he need to get the highchair stuff going on that thing

Drifting takes a combination of dumping the clutch to get it started, then balance, throttle control, and counter steering....Quote:

agree...are we racing or dancing????????????Quote:
