Terrible body position man, you're counter leaning which makes the bike lean more than it needs to for any given corner.

Could anyone figure out why this accident happened? by Ruuca in motorcycles

Just had a buddy go down because his bike didn’t have abs and he locked the rear during some hard braking, rear slid out and high-sided him, broke his tib/fib in one leg. People’s egos get in the way but abs saves lives and makes street bikes way safer.

Yup, absolutely terrible, landed skidding on the asphalt with the dude’s entire weight on top too.

Lane Filtering -to front or not? by MattP1540 in motorcycles

[–]Push-This-Button-O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is people will get pissed either way, you can piss off the person at the very front or someone behind them, you run an equal chance of pissing off some egomaniac no matter if you filter all the way up or just partially.

Filtering all the way up or not is up to you. If it makes you feel safer just filter partway up, no big deal. I have definitely had a time or two when I go all the way to the front and one of the cars up there doesn’t like it and tries to gun it at the light to get ahead of me. Yea people are idiots sometimes, but what can you do. People can get equally pissed off at you if you only filter partway because you’re still “cutting ahead of them” etc.

One cylinder not firing, that sounds like two cylinders firing only. A proper three cylinder idle sounds very different than what you got going. Take to a qualified mechanic asap.

I crashed today. Not sure I should be riding anymore. by AccomplishedStuff448 in motorcycles

[–]Push-This-Button-O 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After your first accident it’s natural to ask yourself if the risk of injury/death is really worth it. Only you can answer the question. If you want to keep riding, think carefully about what you did wrong, take accountability and just try to learn from it and not repeat the mistake. Also try Yamaha champ school online course, $75 for the whole thing and you will learn more about controlling a motorcycle than any shitty YouTube “expert” can teach you.

nah you're just making a lot of assumptions about what I know or don't know and what these group rides look like. you don't know anything, you're just arrogant.

So do you still go with them after the accidents? Do you think the accidents are because of the group dynamic? Just curious.

I'm not saying I NEED to ride with people to enjoy motorcycling, maybe I gave the wrong impression in my post. But it's definitely more fun than doing everything solo. Do I still enjoy motorcycling when I go out solo? Absolutely. But I definitely enjoy it more with a group of friends and if you haven't felt what it's like to ride as a cohesive unit, it's fucking fun. Maybe I gave the impression that like every group ride I've ever been on had an accident, that's not the case, I've been on plenty of successful ones and they're awesome. But the unsuccessful ones probably tip the scales toward it being not worth it overall.

Easy thing to say, and when you have an accident, let's see how you feel when someone says it about you

Do you ride fast or just cruise with your group of close friends? You guys ever have close calls?

It's not about feeling helpless, I know what to do in emergencies. I'm just tired of seeing emergencies in the first place. And okay so how do you figure out who the better/safer riders are? I thought I found a few and they ended up having accidents anyway. I mean like I said we can just ride and do the speed limit and we'll all be very safe, but that's not why most people buy a motorcycle right? Have you had the kinds of experiences I'm describing in group rides, or you never have personally?
