If you were aquaplaning, you wouldn't have been going round the slight left curve of the road.
Accept you focced up, stop trying to blame other things.

no need to be a dick, you post videos of crashing your bound to get critised.
Take the comments on board and learn from them! Alot of riders on here have been on the road alot longer than you and show some respect.

I often think it would be great if there was a "calm down" button :lol

I'll show some respect when he shows me some respect. He was saying stop blaming it on other things when I was riding the bike NOT him. I know what happened just before I pressed my brakes and of he chooses to not to acknowledge that then that is his problem.
I do take comments on board when it is constructive criticism, like most of the comments here are. Don't forget this crash was last year in September, since then I have calmed my riding down a hell of a lot!

Re: My Crash at 60mph. - richfzs - 14-01-13
Lewis, I'll show you some respect when I see something to warrant it.

Re: My Crash at 60mph. - Exupnut - 15-01-13
xlewisbdx......can u see the gist of what people r saying to you on this topic u have posted? u had an accident and video'd it and then posted it. for what reason? to gain a bit of kudos? to show of with your utube video that u r such a great rider? to let us all know that u r an experienced rider with something to say? u have a lovely bike and u love to ride. that is evident buy ur posts here and ur vids but please DO NOT do the one thing that will kill u, and that is LIE TO YOURSELF about the way u ride.
i have been a despatch rider for 20 years and have seen far to many of my gung ho friends die because they belive they r road warriors. the way u were driving that day was not approprite for the conditions and u failed because u rode out of your experience.PERIOD. u can tell yourself it was different..... that u were aquaplaning(a lovely term to use without the true understanding of what aquaplaning entails) or that u just "touched the front brake" u didnt mate. u saw the the car pull out. u were goin to fast.u grabbed to much front brake cos u panicked and shit urself and u ended up on the deck. i have done it also mate but i foccin learned from it. and so shud u.
dont come back and say "again" i was aquaplaning. the video is very good evidence that what u r saying isnt what exactly happened.
take it easy lewis. it is easier to kill urself than it is to become a good rider.
Re: My Crash at 60mph. - xlewisbdx - 15-01-13
I am going to say this again and I hope that some of you listen this time!
I posted the video to show young riders (like myself) how easy it is to foc up and how easy the bike will have you off.
Please don't tell me what I did. I know what I did and that was aquaplaning. If you read my previous posts, I mentioned to Darrsi that my front wheel was focced! It has about 1mm of tread on, maybe less who knows.
Yes I was going to fast, yes I was aquaplaning, yes I pressed the front brake NOT grabbed. Please listen to me. You can't even see in the video that I pressed the brake. You only see me press it when the bike is on the way down.
Thank you for your very valid, and heartfelt, advise. You have listed all the things I already learnt back in September and am still striving to better. Ride safe!

Re: My Crash at 60mph. - Exupnut - 15-01-13
this post is gonna make me change my monicker.
Re: My Crash at 60mph. - comicsans - 15-01-13
dont know why theres arguments going on here, you got more guts than me posting that video lewis. we all ride silly from time to time especially when we first start out.
its made me look at how i ride in the rain for sure!
keep safe and keep posting those videos im enjoying them.
Re: My Crash at 60mph. - Exupnut - 15-01-13
arguments? surely u can only do that in person. lewis posted an accident vid and people dont wanna see that although morbid curiosity dictates that we will watch. not arguing just posting strong views, no-one wants to see anyone hurt.
Re: My Crash at 60mph. - comicsans - 15-01-13
thats fair enough.
