I like this guy....... now we know why he's #2 [cheeky]https://www.flickr.com/photos/capfacsurf/3484543525/#in/set-72157617457065012/

Wow that was a good catch by the photographer. In the first two shots of that sequence you can see the rear tire is off the ground. :o

These guys have got to be the winner(s):  :o

Look! up on the Highway! My word! It's insane! No! It's a Monster....

Wow, he's capturing those crashes pretty well. I wonder if those 2 guys in the last one were riding together or if the first guy just totally ruined a stranger's day.

Those pics are awesome. It would have been your typical lowside, then bam, rider number two comes in.

But I don't see what is so squidish about these guys, other than the first guy is wearing jeans and tennis shoes.

Squidly or not... reminds me of an old Warren Miller (ski films, you know) saying... [to paraphrase]"When you put a camera in front of a skier, his IQ drops to the temperature of the snow!"  ;)

Yeah, I'm with OC. The guy just ain't that good of a rider or got distracted by the camera. Nothing too squidly about that. If you look at some of the following pics there are some full leather guys leaning over the double yellow. I'd consider that more squidly.

Saw a guy last night:

GSXR 600

Camo shorts, sneakers no socks, no gloves

Both tires almost FLAT, I couldnt believe he didnt notice

Gus Duc

Did you notice the guy who got run over......... look at the pics & see how much his helmet lifts up..... more proof to buy a helmet that is a tight as you can stand....... the idea is to have it NOT move [thumbsup]

I was pulling for the guy on the KAwi to keep it upright & ride away..... no such luck.
