My First Crash | Goodbye Hornet

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- What was supposed to be a nice quick spin ended badly. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in the car that I crashed into, none of them were injured but they did get a fright.
The hornet is sadly gone, but im still riding the MT-03 and hopefully soon will be getting a new bike.
I posted this video to help prevent people from making the same mistake.
Be safe out there and always wear you gear.
Crash at 1:11
Hey mate, is it OK to feature your clip in a moto edit some time soon? It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name watermarked on the clip. Thanks, MM
yeah go ahead@@MotoMadness
@@iride1999 Thanks mate. I will let you know when I use it :)
@@iride1999 Hey mate, your clip is in the edit called LIFESTYLE or DEATHSTYLE?! - The DANGERS of RIDING!!. Thanks for being a part of it!
Glad it didn't end worse than that. Thanks for sharing the crash footage!
Thank you I appreciate it.
I've watched all your hornet vids as I am currently trying to revive a 1999 that has been neglected for the past 10 years. Your videos have really motivated me to get it done, the bike is so sweet. Sorry to see the crash, glad to see you're back on a bike though!
Thanks for the kind words brother. Respect for getting your bike fixed I wish you luck with it, it's worth it. The hornet is such a special bike, I hate myself for crashing it.
no need to hate yourself, the honda gods have blessed us with better bikes since 2005. but ofc the hornet still holds strong. glad to know youre alright at the end of the day
@@ryanfarrugia2195 what bikes are better then the hornet 600 ? .. serious question .. looking into a honda
Crash because don’t have ABS like me a week later.
in an emergency we react instinctively and you went into wheel lockup due to ABS. obviously I am aware that it wouldn't have saved you anyway perhaps but it could have gone differently
Glad you're ok. Simple lesson i was taught "only go as fast as you can see to stop". That way whatever happens you should have enough road to stop. Unless someone cuts across your path, which does happen.
Have you done any advanced training or read the principles of ROSPA? I found the uk police motorcycle book very useful for looking ahead, looking for obstacles, looking ahead for positioning, looking ahead for saying what i can see.
I also noticed i could ride quicker and more relaxed by looking further ahead.
I also practiced riding to the left, to the right, holding a set distance from the white line through corners, all so i could improve my control etc.
Your riding looks like you're close to your own limit, and that you're trying to go to the limit on the road. With such a good bike and tires it's just not possible to reach the limit on the road of the bike and tires.
Have you seen the video of Pedro Acosta as a kid riding a CBR 600 in a car park around cones/mini roundabouts and he's getting his knee down while flipping from left hand to right hand circles? That's how good your bike is.
I hope you understand to back off from trying to reach the limits on the road. It's exciting but not possible. Perhaps aim for more controlled precision at a lower speed, and look further ahead while saying out loud what you can see that might affect you.
"Ride to the limits of what you can see" valuable lesson. I shall learn from your mistake. Buying a hornet this weekend all going well. Passed my test this week. Cant wait!
Glad you are ok, love your videos, I've got a 2001 Hornet 600 but with the full faring, had a crash similar to yours on my previous bike at 20mph and ended up with a snapped tibia with ACL avulsion fracture and 3 x bolts and 6 months off work! You were lucky, ride safe ❤
Thanks for watching the videos man, damn that sounds really rough but glad you survived it. All we can do is move on and live, take care. ✌️
Oh man this sucks. Not optimal lane positioning but you could've still easily made it. But I understand, it's adrenaline and instead of pushing the left handlebar and looking away from that car you hit the front brakes too hard. That's why it's very important to practice emergency braking every now and then from different speeds, especially on bikes with no ABS. On the positive side, locking up that front wheel in a left turn sent you flying to the left, away from the car :) I hope you're good now and still enjoying the MT03. Definitely safer too :)
Yeah true good tips there. I panicked and grabbed the brake. It's easy to say one thing and actually do it in the moment. I've been practising braking since then and hopefully if another incident comes I'll do the right thing. And mt03 is sold sadly 🥺
glad you're good now man ! ride safe take care !
it is sad to see the hornet go really loved the video's
Thanks man I appreciate it, I'm sad its gone too. But at least the videos will always be there
Glad you recover!
Glad you have recover! Good thing you had proper gear in my country very phew are wearing any!!!
Yeah I always try to wear gear even for short rides. You never know what might happen.
I am so sorry for the really rough crash, glad to see you ok and without any damage though! 😞 So sad to hear that the hornet didn't make it...the 2003-2004 one is my dream bike and I hope to get it someday. 🥰 Been 2 years around your channel and enjoyed all of your hornet videos multiple times, you did a fantastic job. Ride safe and enjoy your new bike. ✌
Wow thank you so much for the kind words, the hornet is such an amazing bike and I'm sure you'll love it like I loved mine. I will always miss that bike but at least the videos are there to remember it. Be careful out there and enjoy.
Cheers from Brazil. I'm glad you're okay. And sad for your Hornet. But the important thing is that you are alive. Soon you get another bike. Big hug. Are you on Instagram?
@@HOMESPOTTINGGRU thanks for that brother I really appreciate it. yeah my ig is dariuszzamarlo, its rubbish though 😅
Last year I crashed my Tiger 800xc on the bank holiday weekend in August. My first big off. Fixable, pride and lower back badly bruised. Also made full recovery and glad to hear you did. Gutted about the bike tho. Would love to pop over soon and do those Wicklow roads, very similar to Wales in Cambrian Mountains. My family are actually Laffans so would love to visit Slade Castle too.
That sucks man, crashing is never fun, but we get up and move past it. Glad your Okey.
Shit, gave me a scare and fright as well. Luckily you are fine and the people in the car. Things could have end worse! Thanks for sharing. This video will def. kept in mind when I'm going to my ride my Hornet.
Yeah we all need to be careful out there, things happen so fast
Sorry to hear about your bike bet you was gutted I have a 2003 Honda hornet 600f it's my pride and joy love it .
Fully your fault mate but us bikers learn from our mistakes, your next bike won't end up the same, good to thwar your ok though, some don't end up as lucky
I know
Was waiting for this vid - happy you’re still here!!! Keep riding
Thanks dude, I appreciate it, I was not gonna upload it but I did in the end.
DUDE!! how did you walk away from that with only needing two weeks recovery 😱? I'm so glad you are ok!!! Meanwhile im sitting here still nursing my almost two year back injury from a slow speed drop that was aggravated by getting up off my chair 🥲🤣.
I was very lucky, by body didn't hit the car only when the bike did my legs got a bit snagged on the bike and only got some muscle damage.
How did you manage that 😑. Must have been a heavy bike, did it fall on you?
@@iride1999 embarrassingly enough it was my MT-03 which only weighed 180kg 😅. I was too slow going down a sandy driveway that had deep ruts and my front tyre dug into the ground and the bike fell leaning against the bank. I couldn't pull the bike back up from the angle it was on and had to try and leverage off the bank which put my back out in the SI Joint 😅. I also have ongoing issues from a hairline spinal fracture which is making recovery of my SI Joint taking a lot longer than usual. Basically I have an old lady body haha.
@@MadGirlMotoAdventuresthat sounds rough, very unlucky, could have happened to anyone. Hope you get through it soon. ✌️
@@iride1999 thanks ☺️ I'm still riding so lucky there. Hopefully we see you back on a new bike again soon.
Im thinking about buying the hornet 600 because im getting my license soon and its the first bike i ever drove except an automatic pcx 125 but anyway i just came from your other vid about the hornet and man im sad for you and youe bike but atleast ur okay . Im glad 🙏 . It was a beautiful hornet indeed…
Thanks so much for the kind words, yeah the hornet is a great bike you'll love it for sure
Damn glad you are oke bro. Did you grab frontbrake when you say the car?
yeah exactly right
What windscreen is that ? and do you feel the difference ?
It's a puig vision and you feel more air hitting the helmet so not good as war as comfort goes
Hey man, would it be OK to use it in my new video? It would be credited in the description and comments sections.
Yeah go ahead 👍
Thanks!@@iride1999
Is it ABS fault? Good luck bro.
thanks dude, no the bike has no abs its all my fault 🥲
Glad you're ok. May I include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel
Sure
@@iride1999 Thanks
You are ok? If so you are very Lucky. That could be worse. Dont worry for the bike, there are more of them out there.
Yeah luckily I escaped with only muscle damage in my legs, could have been way worse for sure.

Sure is
So sad, just watched the first ride video
Hi, can I use this clip in my compilations?
Credited of course (On-screen and link back).
Yeah sure
Most people let their confidence overtake their skillset when they first get a fast bike. If you're lucky you have a close call, like you did, and reavaluate your riding. Learn from it and you'll be better equipped to judge your safe road speed next time and hopefully a safer rider for your experience. It's better to back off than become a statistic.
Bro he had this bike for at least 2 years
Hi mate, I thinking of buying a hornet, what do you think? Will I kill myself? Has it got a fuel gauge? Is it the best bike you’ve ever had??
I'll never forget my hornet, it's character is unmatched and they are cheap. No fuel gauge.
Hello bro, may I feature this clip in my next moto video? I will give you full credit in the description 😉
sure
Na tak waskich ulicach jezdzisz jak wariat nie licząc się z innymi pojazdami które mogą wjechać na droge
Is that Sally gap?
Yeah
Have you learned to slow down a bit from this? You're a good rider but probably know it was doable to get round that if you was just going slower
Yeah absolutely, I still regret acting stupid.
@@iride1999 if the hornet was rear ended instead you may of just bought another hornet to thrash ect but this is a good lesson making you a safer rider to make the next bike last longer, atleast you get the chance to ride again, guy at Honda dealership been in a wheelchair since 18 from crash hes 50 odd now but still loves working with bikes
Pick yourself up and get another one...that looked fun , you got to admit it...hornet 250cc? import
It was a 600cc, and yeah I got another bike. 👌
Hey Bro. Can i use your videos too ?. with credit
Yeah sure
is this the same crash from a year ago?
Yeah, I had another crash few months after this one 🫣
You did?! How are you doing man?@@iride1999
dont know exactly you suppose to ride at right side or left side
It's Ireland, left side ✌️
I knew there was going to be a crash but I was scared anyway
Yeah watching that for me it feels like it was yesthurday, I remember every detail
Uff.. 😪
I know 🥺
You will die on the road if you ride like this. You have survived this and you might get another few goes but this will kill you. You could have been killed on many of these bends leading up to the crash before it happened if there was oncoming traffic. Control yourself ffs.
That was a noob move. Really?
Bro new video?
It's an old one
@@iride1999 new video when?
大型車でなくて良かったと思ってますか。
もう二度とバイクを運転したらダメですよ..
