I love this state of being on the motorbike...in the absolute NOW. What i want to say too without insulting anyone , as much i watch your channel, most like,60 to 70% of the riders are not experienced and do not know their bikes how they react to extreme maneuver....but sometimes we just have to be lucky too.

    In surfing, we call a “high side” “going over the falls”. That’s when the wave’s surface waters’ momentum overcomes your desire to dive deep and then takes you through the same path as the rest of the water. This usually results in feeling the same impact as the lip (or crest) of the wave pact on the surface of the water, so you get the wind knocked out of you just before being held under by the wave AGAIN!

    I just recently (in the last year) went through basic driving training and defensive driving and I watch that white SUV turn in to the orange bike and my instant reaction is: "How did this person pass their drivers test? They need to have been checking that lane at least three times before that merge happened and they would have seen the bike multiple times in that window". It amazes me, coming fresh off of that training seeing how many poeple drive like complete lunatics. Everything they learned just right out the window the second they get their license. Even with the sun at the biker's back, that driver would have been able to see the bike at several different distances before merging if they'd checked more than once. Your eyes are attracted to things moving, or changing, right? It just tells me they didn't look at all before merging and by that time the bike was already in their blind spot.

    What amazed me of that crash was how the bike had like 3000 years worth of time to stop, using bike brakes. My 90s BMW car at that speed stops in like 10' lol, so I'd expect far more from a high performer like that bike.

    @@RobertMorgan Bikes have garbage stopping distances compared to cars. A sport bike stops like a passenger car. A light cruiser stops like a van. A big Harley stops like a truck. And that's maximum braking. Cars are far easier to reach max braking with, and you're not going to flip over if you lock a wheel for a second, so it's safer to start mashing the brakes, which means you've got even more latency on a bike to brake safely unless you're a super pro. Hopefully ABS on bikes gets good enough (or already has) that you can just mash the brakes on the newer stuff, but you still have mechanical limits so you're not stopping that well. Even at 1 gee braking, you're not stopping in time in this case. Let's say the bike's doing 40 mph, that's about 60 ft/s. 1 gee is 32 ft/s² which we'll call 30 ft/s² (even cars don't typically hit a full gee), so it takes about 2 seconds to stop, with an average speed of 30 ft/s, giving a total of 60 feet to stop. If the other guy is doing 20 mph (30 ft/s), it takes 1 second to slow down to his speed, during which time you're closing at an average of 15 ft/s. You're traveling 45 feet, but he's moving forward 30 feet, so you need to be 15 feet or more (about a car length) behind him to avoid him. It looks like he was half that distance when he really got on the brakes, and I'm really not sure about the relative speeds. Maybe your Beamer would stop in time, but probably not.

    @mootie667 The problem here is a combination of things: first, the difference in speeds between lanes means the other guy needs to act quickly to get into what he thought was an open space, so he's rushing. Second, the sunlight means would have glanced in the mirrors and still managed to not see the motorcycle through the glare, even when the motorcycle is right in the middle of the mirror. I've seen people run into city busses they didn't see through the sun glare. The solution is to keep your windows and mirrors squeaky clean, and slow down. And don't trust mirrors you can't see out of. But it's not inherently an issue of not looking when the sun glare is really bright. It's entirely conceivable he looked a couple times and still didn't see the bike, which is made worse by the fact that he's rushing to avoid the stopped traffic which means "looking" got shortened to "glancing".

    I think he could reasonably have seen the bike and stopped if he was really paying attention, but the bike was also going fairly fast as he rounded the turn, and he came out of the shadows. You always have to be careful of that kind of thing when you're entering a new road, especially if you can carry a bunch of speed onto it. I think the driver was more at fault, but the biker could certainly have had better planning.

    When riding a motorcycle, or when driving a car, but especially on a motorcycle, you have to ride in a manner that is cautious of other motorists not seeing you at all. Any car you interact with, they may see you, or they may not see you, and you have to anticipate their most extreme actions and put yourself in a position to navigate around the threat. You have no right to be speeding, don't anticipate anyone to make way for you to travel faster than the speed limit, even if they can see you. Take a step back and concentrate on riding defensively, and you can't be mad because you were wrong first by speeding or riding too fast for traffic even if that's below the speed limit.

    The no 1 most common deadly accident for mc riders is you going straight and someone in the opposing lane turning left right in front of you. Whenever we see that coming up, slow down and get ready to go around or just come to a stop, if you dont see a way out. A lot of them come down to people driving too fast and person in the car doesnt not seeing us.. Bc of this, I just assume they dont me you never fly through intersections (you cld also get hit by someone running a red light) or when lane filtering. You never know when someone;s gonna open a door, or jump into the other lane w/o looking carefully. Riding safe greatly reduces the chance of a crash.

Like you can still make your turn but just throw it up straight but have your body to the side real quick while you go across the oil and then lay it back towards your side. After you get across it you know what i'm saying like straight up then angle. I just lean it up real quick back down

Flipped my GPZ at about 100 mph after blowing out the front tyre on a broken bottle, time slows down, fly, slam into the tarmac, watch the armco coming towards me at high speed, stopped before that and think - oh holy hell the bike's following me. It end-over-ended past me and smashed into the armco. Writeoff.

    Had a highway patrol behind me once when I was waiting to make a left hand turn.....there was some invisible antifreeze in my path. Good thing it was only 15ft in front of me.....I wasn't going fast....stopped..left turn. My bike just went out from under me like it was ice. I didn't even hit the ground...kinda hopped out of the way and skied backwards stopping in a push up position. CHP was walking up to me and slipped...😂 He got some sand/spill containment stuff out of his truck and called for the city to come out😊

    00:11:33 , One way I've been told to *try* to save a highside is by lifting your outside leg up and towards the outside of the corner to try to stabilize the bike (easier said than done, as seen in moto gp). It would seem the rider has to catch it as soon as the tire starts slipping. The idea is that the rider has added too much throttle too soon before removing enough lean angle to keep traction on both wheels. So if the rider shifts their center of gravity away from the corner it should help offset the violent attempt of the bike to correct itself upright. I will say that this saved me from my one could've-been-highside, but that's my only real experience.

    It depends on the area I think. In Spokane, which was pretty dry, I never cared too much about the temperature unless it had been raining or snowing, or if it was near a bridge. The main roads stay pretty clear, and there won't be ice unless there was already water. I had the advantage that I was either in a car with snow tires, or my bicycle that's a lot slower so I can see the ice coming, but I didn't have too much issue knowing whether it was likely to have ice on the roads. I imagine there are areas with a lot of fog and dew that are more likely to have road ice though, since the ambient vapor has to go somewhere when it freezes out of the air. And if it's been below freezing for weeks, it's hard to know if a new corner had water on it between then and now.

Regardless if he saw the motorcycle or not, why the hell do people put themselves into the oncoming lane and just poke along at what looks like 5 km/h ? I understand you don't want to turn into a parking lot at full speed, but for the love of god if you're going to put yourself in the way of oncoming traffic (even if you don't see anyone there at the moment, you never know if someone will be there 1 second later, as this clip shows) then move your damn ass out of the f'ing way. It makes me so angry ever time I see it.

    @14:06 - Dan, this is a common theme throughout, yet NO ONE will say anything about it to correct the common actions. Do you see how this car is turning left and the motorcycle continues heading in the direction to go in front of the car? - MISTAKE - You're going to get crunched EVERY time! The car is moving forward and turning left. There's plenty of opportunity for the motorcycle to go behind the vehicle. Two things that will never ever change in the world of car driving....1) a car can not change it's path of direction of 180 degrees in an instant. The car is already going forward, let the car go and ride in behind the car....because as long as the car moves forward, it closes the gap in front....but also at the same time widens the gap behind it. Oh, and for the second rule in the world of car driving....horn honking, rev bombing, and hitting the car never ever works. "Go around the car and move on with your life". - Just sayin'

How did he avoid dropping it with stuff like oil on the roads or black ice? These things we can't control or don't see until its to late so i was wondering how he had these bragging rights and he says he rides all 4 seasons, and never drives cars.

    So I've been riding since I was 19. I'm 27 now, and my initial reaction to road hazards involving other vehicles has never been to honk. In fact I basically treat my bikes like they don't have horns at all. I'm wondering if there are some riding schools out there than train new riders to use their horns as a reaction to hazards, because the way that guy at 14:00 immediately gets on the horn before he pulls his brakes is just weird to me. Is that something that any of you guys use to do or currently do now?

    When I was much younger, people told me bike cops are arrogant jackasses. I chalked it up to confirmation bias and treated them like any other cop. Many years later, I have to say it seems to be true. I've seen all kinds of cops do really dumb things, but I've only run across one bike cop without a chip on his shoulder. I got pulled over once for using the HOV lane to avoid an accident. The bike cop was just non-stop with all the reasons I was breaking the law (none of which were illegal) and I was just amazed that he managed to not see five lanes of traffic stomping on their brakes when some guy crossed almost every lane doing half the speed of traffic. But somehow I was the problem, rather than the oblivious guy on a bike. Then I had one run two red lights and hit probably 100 mph to give me a ticket for not having a front plate (car didn't come with a plate holder, so the sheriff's office said I didn't need to mount it) and doing 5 over in a 40 zone. Then the guy in a completely different state telling me my window tint was illegal even though I had a letter from my sheriff's office saying it was fine in the county it was registered in. And he gave me a ticket in the middle of the daytime. While wearing sunglasses. Then told me not to get smart with him when I pointed out his sunglasses. So I told him I wouldn't seem so smart if he wasn't being so dumb. That didn't make him happy, but he never showed up in court when I drove all the way down there to contest it so I guess I got the last laugh. Then one who drove straight across the road at me (I clearly had right of way), looked for all the world like he was going to low side, then got mad at me for "nearly hitting him" even though I parked in the middle of the road. Then gave me a ticket for "speeding" in a construction zone I was two blocks away from. Then a guy who claimed I was speeding when I hadn't even hit the speed limit and was literally being passed left and right by other cars. Not only did he write me a ticket for 60 in a 40, he wrote me tickets for no insurance or registration after refusing to let me get out of the car to access my paperwork. I had recently gotten out of the hospital for back and neck surgery and literally couldn't access the glove box from the driver's seat, and I told him that. It was the first time I felt like I could turn my head enough to safely navigate and had enough strength to operate the gear shift lever, and licensing told me I had to drive it to get emissions tested, so they gave me a permission slip to drive it with the slightly-expired registration (it expired while I was in the hospital). Then a guy who gave me a ticket for doing 2 mph over in a 40 zone. (To be fair, I've had the same thing happen with a cop in a regular car too.) Then was the one bike cop who pulled me over to let me know they'd recently changed the speed zone because of new businesses, so they were no longer letting us do 80 mph in a 40 zone, and that it was now a 30 zone. Never checked my paperwork, didn't even write a warning, just said to spread the word since they'd start enforcing things when the construction crews got started. So he's a credit to his species. Anecdotal attempt at a moral is that I think bike cops don't think they need a reason to harass people as long as they can rationalize that you were doing anything at all that was mildly illegal. Because being a bike cop makes them a superior kind of entity to all us mere mortals. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I started specifically looking for bike cops who weren't dicks, and I've only run across the one. I've run into non-bike cops who were dicks, but also a lot more who weren't.
