Best YouTube Bike Clips?

Did you ever wonder what proportion of the bike's weight you'll be lifting if it ever ends up on its side?



I reckon it would be a useful addition to the manufacturers' specs.

Interesting comparison, I always wondered that.

Funnily enough, both around 42%. Which makes my 300lb CRF450RL about 126lbs to pick up. Albeit it's normally upside down.

Best bike safety film I've ever seen. Makes your hands sweat.

Like the 70s stuff that terrified kids.

So would training in how to pick up a bike. I did my IAM on an ST1100 and I admit to being nervous about dropping that big lump on rough ground / gravel car parks and the like. My instructor rode the same bike as it happened and he was all of 5ft8in. Nevertheless he dropped his Pan in a car park and showed me how to easily pick it up again. I was amazed how easy it was. Mind you a decade or two later, I made a schoolboy error on my Triumph Tiger 800 on mud at very slow speed and dropped it damaging my leg in the going.It went past the horizontal and I couldnt get it up. Had to be rescued by a fireman who was camping nearby.

Just seen this, I subscribe to both channels. Cancer sucks hairy balls.

These Stelvio Pass biker fails keep cropping up on my Youtube viewing. I feel sorry for a few where they meet another vehicle that has crossed onto their side, but for most of them I just wonder about their riding ability. Perhaps that particular corner's much harder than it looks, but I've crossed the Alps many times and can't recall ever coming close to dropping the bike on any hairpins.

Looks like a lot of the riders coming up hill/turning right are getting caught out by the big step up in gradient on the inside of the corner and toppling over when their momentum disappears. Wonder if they're all running too tight as they don't want to go wide due to oncoming traffic.

Also - that looks like an absolute stfight, so much traffic.

Why are so many people grabbing the front brake?

And lots of GS riders who have no skills either.

Terrifying track day crash

[Sardonicus]

WOW proper scary lack of injury probably due to a limp unconscious body i'd assume
