I wish they had shown a little more on the second rider that hit the downed bike. How did he fair?

From what I saw (multiple videos) they both just basically tumbled in the sand which was probably not terrible given the suits they have. The second guys bike hit the barrier hard before bluncing off and in front of the other racers but I think he lost momentum before he would have hit the barrier with his body. In racing the most spectacular accidents the driver/rider is often fine because they keep moving. It's the hard stops (like Dale Earnhardt) that kill you. Those often don't seem that bad on video, lots of things injure but it's G-force that kills.

I live in Atlanta and I have no doubt that riding anywhere near the city is absolute suicide. So I try to go north only.

Its time for rossi to get out. Hes been at this too long, accomplished too many things. I dont want him to get killed because fans want him on the grid.

I think he wants to hit 250 podiums. He’s at like 230-240 now.

You stopped riding just in time, there, old man. Oh yes, blame it on the traffic and folks on cell phones -

oh what a day, what a lovely day....

riding in peoples blind spot, undertaking and excessive speed differential tend to push the odds. around here, late apexing the lefties is wise as the oncoming will drop into your line

i normally dont ride the last week of the month. rangers where off their normal times yesterday but their reaction times where not as good as my brakes.
