looks to me like instead of moving to the left side of the seat the rider has moved to the right(wrong) side of the seat and overleaned the bike.
Anyone else notice in one of the other pics of these guys earlier in the ride the orange bikes are running colored tires on the front. Look like crap to me, jmho.
C6 Corvettes look great!

The Honda had the gray colored tire on the front!!!...He said he hit the brakes in the curve, but if he had a quality tire up front would it have still washed out???...Playing in the twisties with cosmetic tires seems like squid stuff to me...

Bummer about the bale.... But way cool on the Motard guys. On the right roads with the right riders, they can make fools out of most sportbike guys.

K, you are right. I've been thinking of getting a motard.
Naturally if I"m on there it'll be a 'retard motard'
Those guys SCREAM with corner speed at the track.

I'd say he already lost the front end at this point. Bike was coming out from under him.

Here I'm noticing his chain tension.

Taht is exactly what I saw! He should have set the "Bike" up and he hang off on the inside to save it!

Maybe it gave away too fast for him to notice. At that point it was tooooo late.
Course, a good rider would probably be able to feel the front end pushing out and hold it up with his knee.
Unless he's riding Michelins.
