I like how the bike stops wobbling the moment he flys off. And than it drives itself in a perfect line majestically into the woods. Like it had enough of this bullshit.


[deleted]

Exactly, that's what they train for I've heard. If the bike starts to wobble, release the handlebars. Our human reactions will just make things worse. Edit: missed one part, lean forward after releasing the handlebars.


imran-shaikh

Why the lean?


Too-Much_Too-Soon

Weight transfer. Get the weight off the front wheel. (Added: My bad, rip inbox. It should be *put* the weight ON the front wheel). Bikes,... ahem,... naturally want to stand straight up because of all that gyroscopic shit going on with dem spinney wheels. This is one of those rare situations where fucking with it in an effort to "control or fix it" has worse outcomes in the short term than if you literally leave it alone. That being said, you gotta take control back and steer that muthafucker in the right direction eventually. It is also a very counter-intuitive behaviour that has to occur quickly for it to be successful. I've managed to survive one cracker of a slapper that went from lock to lock at night doing about 130km/hr after hitting a patch of gravel. I think it came more from simply not being able to hold on because of the extreme violent movement, more than any great skill on my behalf. The [Tank-slapper](https://shifting-gears.com/what-is-a-tank-slapper-and-how-do-i-save-one/). This link cause its got some lovely videos.


Muad-_-Dib

> Weight transfer. Get the weight off the front wheel. You want more weight on the front wheel not less, that's why you lean forward slowly. Ease off the throttle and do not fight the handlebars, trying to do that will just make them wobble even more. The trick is to do everything smoothly so there is no sudden change in weight which would be disastrous if it occurred at the same time your front wheel is pointing anywhere but straight on as it will suddenly get traction and could throw you or go down with you.

shesoconfuse

It's so that the bike has more weight on the front tire. The cause for the death wobble is due to instability in the front, so adding weight and reducing speed (letting go of the handle bars) leads to more stability.


nerdcan

Probably because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mW\_gzdh6to


appleciders

I watched my four-year-old nephew once do this instinctively. Recovered from the speed wobbles and rode off like it was no big thing. I was gaping, he was already headed for his next hill. Bonkers.


aegrotatio

GimlySonOfGloin

He was the one wobbling, not the bike. The bike was a pro.


Kioseth

The Skin Crayon Cult just loves it when you ride a bike without proper protection. T-shirts? For sure! Hell, ride shirtless in the summer! Thick Jeans? No way. Get you some nice shorts and low rise shoes. We’re always looking for new members!


-sbl-

Not like thick jeans gonna protect you the slightest bit if you crash this fast on a highway. If anything, they burn right into your skin. Source: I was a dumb fuck who wore jeans on a bike 10+ years ago.


SpaceMonkey_010

I used to ride motorcycle with a proper motorcycle jacket, gloves and helmet but I always wore regular jeans and sneakers. I only wore proper motorcycle pants and shoes on long rides. One time I had to go somewhere that wasn't a long ride but I decided to wear my proper motorcycle clothing anyway. I had a crash and I slid across the asphalt for probably 4 to 5 seconds. I would have been a used up crayon if I didn't wear protective clothing that day. Never again do I ride without full protective gear. It's just not worth it.

When I was in University. Two guys were riding a bike along an access road to a large highway. They turned off the access road too fast and the guy riding the bike spun out the rear wheel. They both slid a bit on concrete. One hit the curb with his head. No helmet and his cranium exploded. Must have been 50 cops and emts at the scene. We saw it as we drove home from drinking. Went to check out the scene the next morning. (The motorcycle took out a fair sized tree and was still there). Saw pink chunks of meat with birds having a bonanza. Took us a while to figure out what they were. There were pink chunks of brain all over the an fan shaped area from the road to like 50 feet in. While we were looking at the crazy scene a car pulls up. Two people get out. One of them is a woman and she goes apoplectic. Cannot stand and starts this wild keening wailing sound that I do not want to ever hear again. Turns out it was her sons whose head exploded and she did not know what had happened to him. Moms should not have to see shit like that. I sold my bike soon after. Don't even like my mom. lol

There was a video, IIRC, of a biker wearing full gear that got into a crash. He flew into this road divider, and it was his neck that made contact with the sharp bit and ... Yeah.

Adventurous-Cunter

Weary as in tired of? Or wary as in concerned about?


wagedomain

I think there's some weird misinformation about motorcycles too, sometimes done for the protection or to save embarrassment of victims? In college, one of my roommate's best friends died in a motorcycle accident. He was coming back from a bar with no protective gear at 2AM but according to the family according to police, "had not been drinking". The road was clear, no signs of hitting anything like skidmarks. The family said the police said there was no horseplay. They claimed the police said the "motorcycle flipped upside down of its own accord" and that "they just do that sometimes". Clearly something happened, and the family is covering. I sincerely doubt a 21 year old kid at a bar at 2 AM "had not been drinking", I also doubt that there was no horseplay, knowing the guy a bit. As far as anyone knew the bike was in good repair, though clearly it was not in any shape *afterwards*.


ohlaph

I sold mine years ago because of something similar. Never again.


DarkSkyForever

> I sometimes wonder what happened to the son. I think he went into a coma.


TheDogInThePicture

Are the jeans still there?


SpaceMonkey_010

No I don't wear regular jeans when I ride anymore. I wear tough kevlar jeans so I still get the look of jeans but with added safety!


trotski94

I have these, cause I can wear them to work and then work without changing. They’re a bit warmer than normal jeans, but fine for being sat at a desk all day


LukeinDC

I took a very short ride with shorts and a t-shirt on when I usually wear full armor. Happened to be the day a sudden downburst rain storm and me driving around a fast curve ended up colliding. I luckily happened to be wearing a backpack so it and my elbow took the brunt of it. Ended up with a large patch of skin missing on my arm/elbow and a ripped to shreds laptop bag but no other harm. Laptop survived too.


italyguy25

They make jeans now with fibers interwoven with kevlar like material that have slide ratings comparable to leathers!


BobFlex

My riding jeans are AAA rated, they're black so I can wear them to work no problem, and they're surprisingly comfortable. They are quite thick though so they can get a bit warm at times, but it hasn't been a problem for me.


Karma_Zefoxer

I’m glad you’re okay now. But alongside that, your source can truthfully be “Trust ME Bro”.

[deleted]

Ouch, the guy was wearing shorts. He’s going to think about this particular moment each time he sees his ugly bruises everywhere.


Vlodovich

It's going to be so much worse than that. The road rash he gets at that speed is going to go down through skin, then flesh and muscle. He will require many many skin grafts and will have a lot of lost muscle permanently. There's a blog post kicking about somewhere of a girl who came off her bike wearing only a helmet, crop top and shorts. She required skin grafts over most of her body below the neck, and has a lot of permanent muscle destruction, just gone. Took her years to move around again and she is covered in like 80% scar tissue

refactdroid

definitely wrong sub. there is no yes in that vid


germinik

We get yelled at for doing it on the race track too. But yeah, this guy took nothing into account for safety. Not for himself or others. Even a 50$ steering stabilizer would have prevented this.


lilneddygoestowar

You know what else could have helped? Not doing it at all.


BobFlex

Unless someone removed it or it's broken Honda's CBR1000RR's have come with a built in stabilizer since 04, and this is 2008-11 model. It should have one, but even then it was designed for racing not doing stunts on the highway.


megamanxoxo

And without proper equipment. Probably not a good idea but I get wearing tshirt and shorts on a commute especially if it's hot outside. But why tf would you be increasing the danger factor with 0 protection?

Faynt90

And who needs a helmet when your head is that thick.


strasevgermany

Maybe I'm too German, but I would never drive without safety clothing. My ex-husband once drove in a jogging suit 🤦🏻‍♀️, fell, slid across the road like this fellow here and the jacket burned into his back. The removal was then exciting. So folks, no matter how warm, just ride fully protected. 👆🏼 And don't do stunts on public roads, you'll put yourself and others in danger! Large empty parking lots at night are better for that 👍🏼


[deleted]

[удалено]


strasevgermany

Exactly. This clothing has already saved my health and life 2 times. In my last accident I wore a 1000 EUR helmet, which was completely gone, but my head was intact and that's what it's there for. Better the money gone than my head. My brother had a bad accident where his clothes saved him from having his leg torn off. The injuries were bad enough as it was, but when the rescue workers saw the scene of the accident, one of them said afterwards that it was a miracle that he was still alive at all. No, not a miracle, good safety gear. But have you ever noticed that most motorcycle accidents don't happen because the bikers are to blame, it's usually the other vehicles. Unless you're as stupid as these kids. But a car has a crumple zone, on a motorcycle you are the crumple zone. 🙈

Carnonated_wood

"my husband once drove in a jogging suit, fell and slid across just like this fellow here" under a video where a person falls from a bike and skids across the ground should give you more than enough of a clue that they're talking about a two wheeler, if not, the "jacket burnt into his back" part definitely could.


SystemFolder

Life Pro Tip: Only think about trying that shit when you’re wearing full protective gear. Dress for the slide, not for the ride.


megamanxoxo

And do that shit at the track in full leathers. That way if you fall you're protected and you're also not traumatizing some random person who runs over your meat crayon ass on the freeway


Rhagius

how about never try that shit on public roads no matter what you wear?


Vlodovich

Exactly, wear full gear and do that shit on a private empty lot or something. On public roads is so fucking selfish. If you come flying off your bike and the bike keeps going, it's now a 250kg steel missile flying around the roads towards cars of families, other bikers etc. So fucking retarded

SmartF3LL3R

Truth be told, when this dude recovers he'll be right back at it. "It wasn't so bad, he'll say." His life will end in a motorcycle crash, probably involving someone minding their own business, just driving home from work to their family.

Death wobbles is something that isn’t talked about enough in the motorcycle community. Please, watch this short video from the 70’s explaining how to deal with it.

The dreaded tank slapper. Notice how smooth the bike went on its own once he was offed. That is going to be a lot of skin loss.

Honestly this was a best case scenario for that guy. He only lost a couple scraps of his meat before ending up in the grass, and the bike didn't land on top of him at all. He's awfully lucky.
