Busa wrecks hard following my Panigale

DUCENZO · May 30, 2013

Just before the Busa wrecks behind me, the Victory just in front of me goes wide and almost hit gravel.

Sometimes the cause of accidents is the lack of saddle time, get out and ride your bikes guys. Learn her characteristics and what she's capable of, chances are you'll never out-ride what your bike is capable of so trust her.

Rider ended up with shattered collar bone, bad concussion, a totaled tricked Busa and helicopter ride.

And during a group ride, perfect time to learn from others and push yourself just a little...but ultimately, ride your own ride and at your own level. Ride on, ride safe.

I'm wondering if he went down on gravel from that driveway you parked on when you came back. It looks like it's at the apex of that turn. That's the danger of riding roads like a track. Sand & gravel cause a low side so quick, you just can't react. If you do, often it's luck. Hopefully that dude heals quick and insurance covers the bike. Hate to see that .... go down....

Well it turns out gravel wasn't the cause..another case of coming in too hot and not committing to the turn, similar to what happened to the Victory in front of me.

My first time riding with that particular guy, but he probably not used to leaning the Busa that much and got scared. He stood the bike up and went off the road, actually going down in the ditch and "T-boning" (so to speak) the driveway.

yeah that turn dont look like a difficult turn at all. seem like accident is caused by the rider's lack of experience.

Hope he gets better soon.

I owned a Busa before, they can turn. So it rules out the bike not being able to turn. Hopefully, he recovers quick.

This is exactly what happened with Apeluv in front of me on his Pani - major concussion, broken neck - He could of easily made the turn, but wasn't concentrating for the momoent, was distracted, down he went.

Makes you wonder why we engage in such a dangerous hobby.... scary...

Because when you actually MAKE the turn, it all becomes worth it

I call it one of many calulated risks in my (our) lives. I weigh the fun/excitement I recieve with the risk to life and limb I take, plus throw in a family to support. IFR weather used to not phase me, now I wait for it to clear before I fly. I ride my bike/car fast, but I am careful not to come close to pushig my meager (

) abilities. It has worked for me so far, knock on wood

+1 Here as well. Makes me more of an advocate for people do educational activities like a track day or a school of some sort so they can actually learn to "listen" to their bikes and how to ride them properly.

If I see someone trying to outride their abilities to keep up with me, like my friend on his new R6, I slow down and take corners much slower than I normally would so they don't crash. When I am out by myself however and I come in hot on a corner, my face usually looks like this

Moved back to San Diego late last year. To say the riding out here is different than central Virgina is a major understatement. Lucky to have a coworker/fellow rider showing me the roads so to speak. Taking my time learning them. So if you see the Tri tootling along, howdy!

Rookie reflex to stand it up when you're too hot coming in. Lean it over, look at the exit of the turn and 99,9% of the time you'll get through.

On a snowmobile one learns this the hard way, go straight and you hit a tree and die.

Or on a Jetski releasing the throttle then trying to turn to avoid an obstacle.

Or in the Alps... riding a bike there will get you killed if you stray even a little....

You need to rename the video "HayBus crashes hard trying to corner like a Victory". That's a more apt description of the situation.

Whoever thought these were near racetrack speeds and that the accident was due to treating the street like a racetrack....witness the Victory out front. Sheesh!

Like the Alps, the Million Dollar Highway between Durango and Ouray in Colorado will likewise kill a man who strays far off the pavement. No guardrails and a 5000 foot drop to the valley.......you can holler all you like on the way down!

Imagine what would happen if you had some proper corners .
