why are we all crashing

[gpzDave]

I'm glad you're all right mate, it's not nice to see your bike on it's side

I crashed again on monday :[ During mod 2 training, hit some invisible mud (like black ice) on a corner at 40. I went down after I almost low sided then the back stepped out and the guy behind me hit me while sliding along the floor. He unfortunately did low side :[ My poor bike is going to be taken to the shop tomorrow

We're probably being secretly brainwashed by YouTube to crash because of the amount of advertising money they make from bike crash videos.

I only every crash when I don't have the camera on! I use the camera 24/7 and only very rarely don't film. When I do, I crash!

Ouch! Did you get that "don't care how badly injured I am...must...check...bike..." moment?

Glad you're ok, mate!

Greetings All,

I am purchasing my first motorcycle in January. I was licensed in September of this year. I have taken the motorcycle safety course twice. My first accident was on the range. I learned a lot from that fall!

I joined motovlog a moment ago after reading about crashing. I was thinking just today how talking and riding could be a distraction. After reading this thread, I will delay startup with a mic after a year. I love riding and want to be safe.

Thank you for your honest dialogue.

Great bike choice, just be careful. A lot of the 883's look great. This guy, http://www.youtube.com/xxxdeadhead, rides an 883 that's been bored out to a 1200 I believe. Lovely machines. And you live in PA, which has some awesome mountainous roads, very nice.

to be fair I think most of the crashes happened when they were not recording a vlog... but even still.. yeah. don't worry about the talking.. take some time learning the riding first...

your talking should be
"shift now... set up for the turn.. brake.. ok off the brake. counter steer.. feed in throttle hold the line......"
