Thats not quite a bad highside...snadamo. If he would stayed on the gas he would have been alright. If you watch the film a few times you can see he bailed a little early. Its better to almost highside then to bail during the making of a highside. My buddie Rick, and one way worst and saved it by staying on the gas. But the normal person, due to survial reactions will cut the gas and thats bad.

But yeah that sucks. Hope he ended up ok.

looks like a honda hawk.

He does not remeber any of it, pretty much 24 hrs he was out of it... broke some ribs, and ringed his bell pretty good. It was not laque of throttle, rather a blown engine seal leaked on the rear tire.... Some one saw the bike smoking the lap before that.

This was really your buddy?!?!?

Wow sorry for not sounding sympathetic before, I thought you were kidding about it being your friend! I thought it was just some random dude crashing with a clever title you added to it.

sounds like he is okay though, so thats good.

that sounds like good advice twisty. Hopefully I will never have to use that technique, but its always good to know. I was just amazed that the bike just kept going in a straight line until it hit the tires.
