MotoGP Crash 2020 | AustrianGP | Rossi escaped by inches | Franco Morbidelli & Johann Zarco collided

Yiiiiiiikes.  Life comes at you fast.  Amazing luck and skill for the following riders to avoid the debris and the downed riders.

I had a highside once on the track (at nowhere near this kind of speed) and there was not a lot of time to think of anything except for a surprised “Oh shiat” as I realized I was upside down in the air.

My husband had a wreck on my bike when someone lowsided right in front of him in a turn and took out a few other folks.  I am in trouble with him to this day because when they trucked him and my bike back to the pits my first reaction was not “Thank god you’re OK” but rather “You dented my tank!”

turn them inside out and shake the shiat out of them

I think if you skid around a race track it’s time to get new leathers anyway.

That was a farking insane race. And poor Pol Espargaro.. robbed last week, and then this happens this week. Still, good to see the KTM team making solid progress, Dani Pedrosa was clearly a good pickup as a development rider!

Dallymo: Yiiiiiiikes.  Life comes at you fast.  Amazing luck and skill for the following riders to avoid the debris and the downed riders.

I turned a 20K TZ250 into a wadded up pile @ pocono years ago. The good thing about metal, is if you know a guy… everything can be put back together. Even a mangled tank! Limped away with a bruised and slightly dislocated hip only.

He’s likely not still mad but you might as well just get used to it. I still remind my mother occasionally about the time I stepped on a drinking glass my brother had left on the stairs and it broke under my bare foot. When she came around the corner and saw me hopping on one foot and bleeding profusely her Weeners was, “You’re bleeding on the carpet!” I’m 36.

Not surprised.  People have the weirdest damn reactions to ultra-serious business shiat going down.  Not a doc so just my personal theory – but I always figured people are so damn scared by what just happened that their brain frantically runs around looking for literally ANYTHING else to worry about instead of the holy shiat stuff.

This. I was on a date when I got a call that my brother was in the hospital after hitting a deer on his motorcycle. The first words out of her mouth were “Is the deer ok?”

Nah, the HD ad was an ad.  The vid is in an embedded Tweet further below.

So…yeah, someone submitted a link to an article with an embedded tweet instead of just the heckn tweet.

She has kids so this isn’t surprising.

I’ve never been in a wreck, but as for the pants…I was riding behind my husband on a back road. We came upon a railroad crossing, down a hill and at an angle. Looked both ways, laid off the throttle, prepared to roll through at a reasonable pace. However, some chucklefark of a CSX employee had parked a train engine behind a grove of trees, right at the road.

So, we’re rolling along to cross the tracks and suddenly TRAIN!

Kevlar jeans can be washed. Bury the leathers.

It was an aluminum tank on my B50T that I had polished and polished and had hand-pinstriped–so gorgeous–and when he went down it jammed the bar end into one side.  Awful.

Also he broke the spark plug off with his knee and to this day (about 30 years later) has a numb spot.  And the occasional frozen shoulder.

But that tank.  In my defense, the dent was immediately obvious; the knee and shoulder injuries were not (he was standing up and not bleeding so…you know…*shrug*).

I may or may not have been accused of being self-centered to the point of solipsism.

I *totally* get the “you dented my tank!” sentiment now haha!

There are few sadder things than seeing something you put time and effort and money into…turn into twisted wreckage. 🙁

And breaking the plug off with a knee? Oof.. yeah. And it’s always hard to evaluate yourself right after a crash when adrenaline is high and you can still make everything work normally, unless its totally wrecked… “can you wiggle your fingers and toes?”

Any crash you can limp away from is a good one.

Ehhh… I have a genetic problem that makes me dislocate and sublux things real easylike. So I kinda crash like a crash test dummy. Nothing breaks, just… bends a lot.

I’d just hose em down, lay em out l’d beeza, & hope fer the best!!!!!

I remember during my rider safety class the comment being made that it’s not the crash that kills you, but the guard rails that cut you in two.

The crash video is the embedded Twitter video below the Harley test ride video. Frankly, the Twitter video is edited better, without all that extraneous stuff at the beginning and end of the YouTube version.

Pretty sure the poop pants is in reference to Rossi, not Morbidelli or Zarco.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it. MotoGP racers are most likely paid more than road racers. Guy Martin has probably earned more from his career as a TV presenter than he did as a racer. Every time the TT comes around, it’s not a question of whether people will die, but of how many will die.

But the guys live to race, and accept the risk.

There’s a really good film about the TT in particular, Closer to the Edge. Well worth a watch.

Some Junkie Cosmonaut: Dallymo: Yiiiiiiikes.  Life comes at you fast.  Amazing luck and skill for the following riders to avoid the debris and the downed riders.

I had a highside once on the track (at nowhere near this kind of speed) and there was not a lot of time to think of anything except for a surprised “Oh shiat” as I realized I was upside down in the air.

My husband had a wreck on my bike when someone lowsided right in front of him in a turn and took out a few other folks.  I am in trouble with him to this day because when they trucked him and my bike back to the pits my first reaction was not “Thank god you’re OK” but rather “You dented my tank!”

Yup.  Your brain tends to focus on the first sane thing that it can deal with.  Either biatching about it, or going about ‘working on it’ until some of the panic chemicals start filtering out of the bloodstream, and the brain reboot happens.

Then you can *properly* piss yourself.

The crash video was just below that video.



I block third-party tracking scripts, so maybe that’s why I don’t see it.

I click FoxNews links under protest already, so I’ll be damned if I relax my script-blocker for them.

I’ve had shiat like this happen in front of me at the track.  At the time the lizard brain does all the calculation and reaction, and the higher level thinking pudding just kinda goes ‘hmm’ if you make it through unscathed and you get on with the business of racing.

Or what has happened is so bad that you know there’s going to be a red flag likely shown in the next few corners, so you don’t slow down, but you keep an eye out for flags and other riders raising their hands.

I still say of the two big crashes this past weekend at RBR, the Moto2 crash was far worse.
