Very cool and humble of you to share this crash review. Like you say, it may help other riders. I think a combination of being tired like you said and not highly experienced in the canyons yet. With more dedicated time both looking through the corner, trusting your tires, knowing your brakes at harder applications, and learning the roads better you will be there. None of us are ever "fully there" done learning. Glad you are with us on two wheels! Everyone in this sport benefits when more new riders to sign on (in my opinion). -cheers
Thank s God you are ok. The main issues in my opinion: 1)totally wrong line in the beginning of the curve . You were completely at left, close to yellow line instead you should have been on the opposite side (right). This pushed you to the external side in the outcome 2) you started too early the leaning. This error, combined with the n. 1, makes you not aware about the curve you were going to manage 3) target fixing: when you saw the guardrail you pointed it with your eyes (human instinctive reaction, but letal if you are a biker). You must learn to go over your instict and force you to fix the exit way and not the obstacle. Have safe rides.
probably too little lean angle might have had an effect too looks like hes not leaning at all on the 360 cam body position aswell you gotta lean your ass into the corner to lean more dont just sit straight on the bike too also looks like you dosent really know the road since if you did you probably would have known that the corner is very sharp
1. Trail brake, can decelerate and avoid crash. 2. Lower gears higher revs, use the throttle to control speed through corners, eg 3-4k rev gear 1 through the turn, the engine spin will keep the motorcycle upright. 3. Motorcycle upright as mush as possible, use your body lock the knee into the tank and sliders, leverage your body off to the side of motorcycle to turn tighter.
Happens to the best of us. Honestly that’s one of the most graceful crashes I’ve seen haha. Sad it was both sides though ): hope to see you back out soon!
For your own safety and skill development, recommend you enrolling in a track based training course. It also appears you tend to target fixate and you need to learn how not to do this, especially if you want to survive riding a motorcycle in the longer term!
Thank you for posting this as it’s a great way o help educate others. You’ve only been riding for a year so haven’t yet developed the skills to prevent this by understanding your limits in riding abilities and those of how your mind and body interact when tied. For the record we all have a crash eventually. For me, I’ve lost count however it’s been a very long time since the last. I’ve been riding (including 10 years of racing in the Australian Superbike series) for over 40 years. You had an oops moment, then passed a group parked, then you were fixated on the guard rail which resulted in you hitting it. After only a years worth of street riding this happened to me more than once and always towards the end of a long day. Getting track time will not only make you a better rider as you can learn your limits and improve these and result in becoming a much safer rider in the process. If you can also find a mentor to ride behind who will guide you at your pace then this will be even better as my mentor who improved my street riding also got me into racing. Phillip Island was my home track. Best of luck going forward and remember your ok, bikes can be fixed. 👍😎🇦🇺
Mate I’m really sorry you crashed and are learning the hard way. You need more confidence and get the bike turned. As MotoSupreme said, watch Keith Codes Twist Of The Wrist. Also TH-camr MotoJitsu has many videos which can help you out. Maybe even do a rider training school. But get your riding improved before you go and do a track day. It will be safer for you and you will enjoy it a whole lot. Take care mate.
Shame to see it happen, glad you are okay and the other riders for helping. Just shows how the riding community is so wholesome. I can not add much more to the crash than others have already mentioned.
Gutted for you dropping the bike. Ive been there. You are doing the right thing to learn from it. Main thing and whats utmost important is that YOU are OK. I've only been riding a couple of years so I'm no expert but I think your engine sounded like it was in too high a gear when you were taking the corner and this was pushing the bike harder into the corner than you would have expected. I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪 so won't see you out in the canyons anytime soon. Take care
Looks like no use of counter steering. I see his body keeps leaning as he tries to turn but the bike doesn’t dip left. I think this is because to counter steer you must turn right first to start the lean, which instinctively would send you into the guardrail. But this starts your line for a great turn.
Hello how are you? Can I put this video of yours in my next compilation? With your channel credits in the video description and in the video itself. I await your reply
Glad you're ok. Good lesson to learn going downhill about running down a gear. Engine breaking could of helped you there. You almost had the turn too, just a little less speed or a little more lean. A year later hope you got her back right 👍
First off, I love the sound of your bike. Very nice. I have to agree with everything that @bronson Ku said. I think the only other thing I would add is how important your vision is and to look ahead where you want to go. I think you would have been ok if you had not turned your head and it pulled you back to the guard rail. It takes time to trust your peripheral vision, but once you do, it really changes your riding. Let's hope Dan Dan the fire prick doesn't get ahold of this and give you his "assessment". Have a good time at the track day coming up. Can't wait to see some footage from that as well.
Great riders always checking to make sure you're ok. Gotta look out for each other. Hard to tell with the 360 camera, but it looks like it could have been a decreasing radius turn. Those can actually have two apexes. Other than that target fixation. Happens to us all. I was tired on my bike two days ago and almost made a silly mistake.
Hey Friend, would it be alright to feature this clip in my next moto episode? I will credit your channel in the clip and in the video description. Thanks, MP.
That little blip of the throttle stood up the bike . Then you looked exactly where you hit. So I think target fixation got you. What do you have your engine braking at? Also your throttle setting. You sound very choppy. To help myself be smoother I have the engine braking at 1 and throttle at 2 or sometimes 1. I have the same bike but in red lol glad your ok.
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
Damn bro! Glad you're ok. I watched this footage so many times. I've been riding for a long time but I'm not an expert in canyon riding so I can't say for certain what went wrong. Only part that seems to stand out was hitting the apex too soon, kind of threw your angle off as you started to go around that last turn. Maybe target fixated? I couldn't tell if you started to brake towards the end, which made the bike stand up and proceeded into the guard rail. Hopefully someone with a little more experience can chime in. Glad you had gear
sorry about that dawg, now i know how u got those stock mirrors back. good news is you don't gotta baby her so much :). one thing i learned the hard way was that canyons after any kind of precip can be very slick with gravel so i feel u
I am probably late to the party, but your mistake is obvious. In blind turns you want to stay outside until you see the exit. You however, start turning as soon as you see the corner. And turning in too soon will set you up for running wide. It's a mistake we all make sooner or later Good thing that you weren't really going all that fast. Like someone else said, not that it would have saved you, but you need to build more confidence as well. Ride safe bro. 👍🏻
Hey dude :) Would it be fine with you if we used this clip in a TH-cam video and possibly share it on our social media? We'll credit you in the descriptions and in the TH-cam vid.
Glad you are ok. Hammer your eyes to the exit from the curve, if you aren´t trail braking keep the throttle steady at least (don´t chop it or slam on the brakes while leaned over, do it only if you have the space to straighten the bike up) and lean more. Ass puckering comes automatically. ;) I had 2 really close calls, once saved it as described just now, and once I straightened it up and slammed on the brakes (it was a slow hairpin and I had enough run off). In both cases it was in curves which I knew well, but for some reason (probably also too tired), got scarred that I am coming in too hot (I wasn´t, normally I can go through them 15-20 km/h faster). But my biggest tip is watch motojitsu´s videos on trail braking and twisties riding. Practice those techniques and a whole new world will open up for you. Also, on the street, keep it to spirited but easy flowing in the curves, aggresive riding is for the track.

The guy with the s1000rr is a cool and an awsome dude. And dont you ever feel bad about this crash. Most important thing is that you are okay and rest can be repaired or learned. Keep riding man.
"We all just need to slow down in those Canyons." There are no truer words to be spoken. We share those roads with Cars, cyclists, other motorcycles of all types, rocks and gravel, and animals. Azusa has black bears, deer, foxes, mountain lions.. on and on.. yet riders use the excuse that they ride the Canyons like a track because they can't afford track days. I wish everyone had your good sense. Now. Are you doing Chuckwalla? I'm not riding but will be going to watch a friend ride. Cheers
Glad you’re good bro. I can’t really tell what went wrong. I’m no expert. Just looks to me like maybe you don’t fully commit to left hand turns and when you feel like you’re in too much of a lean your eyes stray and you kill the throttle which causes you to go wide. Again, I’m no expert. Lol. Just glad you’re ok and you got a ‘decent’ back up bike. Lol.
Wow bro haven’t been keeping up but sure did watch this video. Body position down shift up shift move. Motorcycles takes alot of planning ahead. Sell the Ducati and buy a sports car. The new lotus. Is banging
We all make mistakes bro. I love riding Riding Azusa and I always slow down coming down in that section of the road. I see the you took the wrong line on the previous turn and that messed up the turn where you crash by turning too early and going wide. I really recommend everyone to watch Twist of the wrisk on TH-cam ten times or more. That’s what I’m doing now.
Hello Friend! How are you? I would like to know if you could authorize me to use a portion of this video for the "Observations in transit" frame on my channel. if you authorize me, I'll be leaving the due credits to your channel with the name and link, I await your response, I'm with you!👊❤
You can avoid such things happening to you in future! Take classes, ride on track, learn to move on bike, learn to lean, learn to enter & exit corners. There's lot of things you must learn. Otherwise it may turn worse than this. Stay Safe!
Wow! your Aprillia with SC Project has a treat sound. And you’re smart to have some great gear, I hope you realize how different this coulda been with injuries from inadequate gear. Nice life hack, getting your left leg out from under the low side. Maybe you nailed it in your remarks? Is just me, or do lots of these types of experiences always seem to begin with “…It’s late and I’m tired.” ? There’s already lots of good input on riding technique from the other comments. I was just wondering about the weather temperature, cold tires on a cold surface? I realize you were on a down slope in a tight switchback. Those tend to catch all sorts of slippery sand and gravel. What is that road glaze starting into the turn? You crossed the double yellow just before, that road paint always feels unnerving and less positive no matter what tires I’m running. It looks like it was almost a low speed tight U turn with a bit of a grade change and then you might of been surprised by the guard rail and target fixation? Maybe practice U turns with a full lock on the bars and that exaggerated head turn? Or borrow a friend’s light dirt or trail bike and try those tight turns off road on various surfaces while in almost a standing position and weighting the pegs. Glad you’re not hurt friend, keep ‘em coming…
Looked like you turned in way too early. Hug the outside first then close in at the end of the turn. It also looks like you're afraid to lean the bike. If you stayed leaning or maybe leaned slightly more and held it, you would've avoided the guardrail. Looks like you fixated on it and aimed for it.
Gotta learn to lean off the bike bro, even if you feel ridiculous it’ll save you in the turns that are tighter than you expected. The more you lean the less the bike leans and the more room for error you have
ALWAYS ride like the Double Yellow is a WALL that you can't hit- Traffic or no traffic, train yourself to never hit the centerline, let alone GO OVER... Use the torque of the engine to control deceleration and be SMOOTHER on your throttle - avoid jumpy and "blippy" throttle response and concentrate on being smooth.... Glad you are all good- My initial reaction is to get a different bike to learn your skills on, like a DZ400 SuperMoto or a less aggressive road bike. BTW, you might want to sign up for a class a SoCal Supermoto in Riverside.... BEST $250.00 you will ever spend- Their bikes, tires and brakes and great instruction!
Hey broski fuck that shit bru u get up and u do it again tomorrow there is a reason we ride this things we are warriors we get beat and we get back up and try again nothing to be ashame of
i think you're gonna get a lot of comments with overly technical explanations of what you did wrong here, but to my eyes you were simply riding tired, very tired and on a bike you're still not comfortable with. From the video it appears you had time to come to a complete stop, but didn't. That you could have turned more aggressively and avoided the wall, but didn't and based on your engine sound you were probably in the wrong gear for your corner speed. Don't over think it with things like trail braking etc, you might simply not be there yet with this bike. Shake this one off, get back on the horse and commit fully to riding when you ride.
I would say your ride too fast for your skill set (or too tired in that moment). Corner should always be outside - inside - outside, so your line is not very good. You lean in way too early, what I can tell from the rest of the video. That's why you often end up on the middle of the road.
Whole ride you’re all over the lane, like you’re on your phone or something. You need more time on a bike before going in the canyons alone. Not saying it to be mean, just saying anyone who rides like that shouldn’t be in the canyons.
Just got this in my TH-cam recos, I haven't watched your channel before, so my opinion in unbiased. This looked like a combo of fatigue and inexperience. You didn't make the turn because... you weren't turning your bike. You had almost no lean angle, you could have made that turn very easily. You said you were coming in too fast, but no, not at all. You *thought* you were going too fast and it seems like you panicked and tried to slow down, therefore standing up the bike, and possibly target fixating on the outside of the curve. These are all classic mistakes that we need to train our brains out of. Number one, look where you want to go, and commit to that, I mean really turn your head and stick your eyes to the inside of that turn no matter what, and do what you need to go *there*. Number two, you think the bike can't make it, but it can, you had miles of lean angle left. Number three, practice practice practice, pushing yourself progressively. Number four, don't ride when mentally or physically tired. Number five, do not put your weight on your arms, you can't steer your bike properly if you're doing that. Push left to lean left, push right to lean right. Please take this advice the right way. I've been there myself as a rider for 20 years. Crashed several times, more as a novice and less as I got more experienced, which I guess is a good sign lol. And fatigue was the cause of two of them. Luckily survived all my blunders, although with some scars. Wish you many years of happy, fun, safe riding. Peace :)
This is great advice. Thank you. I went to the track yesterday in the same bike. And worked on exactly what you said. Tons of improvement. Look out for the video. I’ll post it in a couple days. Ride safe. God bless

What was the repair cost? Being a fellow 660 rider, would be interested to know.

Practise corners gear 1 and 2 with light pressure on front brake, use the throttle to speed up through the corners when confident
I’m glad you ok it could off been worst. That turn gets everyone.
So sorry about your bike man. Main thing like others have said is that you are ok... What Backpack is that?? Matches the bike super well.

Appreciatable 😁😹😹
Wow! your Aprillia with SC Project has a treat sound. And you’re smart to have some great gear, I hope you realize how different this coulda been with injuries from inadequate gear. Nice life hack, getting your left leg out from under the low side.
Maybe you nailed it in your remarks? Is just me, or do lots of these types of experiences always seem to begin with
“…It’s late and I’m tired.” ?
There’s already lots of good input on riding technique from the other comments.
I was just wondering about the weather temperature, cold tires on a cold surface? I realize you were on a down slope in a tight switchback. Those tend to catch all sorts of slippery sand and gravel. What is that road glaze starting into the turn?
You crossed the double yellow just before, that road paint always feels unnerving and less positive no matter what tires I’m running.
It looks like it was almost a low speed tight U turn with a bit of a grade change and then you might of been surprised by the guard rail and target fixation?
Maybe practice U turns with a full lock on the bars and that exaggerated head turn?
Or borrow a friend’s light dirt or trail bike and try those tight turns off road on various surfaces while in almost a standing position and weighting the pegs.
Glad you’re not hurt friend,
keep ‘em coming…
Thanks man. Good stuff
Hey man, good to see you are all good. Can i please use this clip in a video? You will be fully credited of course
Yes
i think its from fatigue plus properly in the wrong gear to but i glad your ok
Looked like you turned in way too early. Hug the outside first then close in at the end of the turn. It also looks like you're afraid to lean the bike. If you stayed leaning or maybe leaned slightly more and held it, you would've avoided the guardrail. Looks like you fixated on it and aimed for it.
Gotta learn to lean off the bike bro, even if you feel ridiculous it’ll save you in the turns that are tighter than you expected. The more you lean the less the bike leans and the more room for error you have
You probably should’ve changed your ride mode to commute when you stopped 😮
I think the fatigue got the best of you.
ALWAYS ride like the Double Yellow is a WALL that you can't hit- Traffic or no traffic, train yourself to never hit the centerline, let alone GO OVER... Use the torque of the engine to control deceleration and be SMOOTHER on your throttle - avoid jumpy and "blippy" throttle response and concentrate on being smooth.... Glad you are all good- My initial reaction is to get a different bike to learn your skills on, like a DZ400 SuperMoto or a less aggressive road bike. BTW, you might want to sign up for a class a SoCal Supermoto in Riverside.... BEST $250.00 you will ever spend- Their bikes, tires and brakes and great instruction!
Thanks, I’ll look up that info on Supermoto
Hey there, could I feature your clip In one of my moto compilations, all credits will be given!
Yes, please subscribe to my channel while you are here. Thanks
😢 my sympathies I have the same bike and I would be so down
Hey broski fuck that shit bru u get up and u do it again tomorrow there is a reason we ride this things we are warriors we get beat and we get back up and try again nothing to be ashame of
look at 11:00 the two guys from "Twist of the Wrist" are coming to teach you how to drive
i think you're gonna get a lot of comments with overly technical explanations of what you did wrong here, but to my eyes you were simply riding tired, very tired and on a bike you're still not comfortable with. From the video it appears you had time to come to a complete stop, but didn't. That you could have turned more aggressively and avoided the wall, but didn't and based on your engine sound you were probably in the wrong gear for your corner speed.
Don't over think it with things like trail braking etc, you might simply not be there yet with this bike. Shake this one off, get back on the horse and commit fully to riding when you ride.
also as a fellow socal aprilia guy, feel free to hmu on rides if you want a guide
You have to learn the same thing I have to work on body position
I would say your ride too fast for your skill set (or too tired in that moment).
Corner should always be outside - inside - outside, so your line is not very good. You lean in way too early, what I can tell from the rest of the video. That's why you often end up on the middle of the road.
Whole ride you’re all over the lane, like you’re on your phone or something. You need more time on a bike before going in the canyons alone. Not saying it to be mean, just saying anyone who rides like that shouldn’t be in the canyons.
Just got this in my TH-cam recos, I haven't watched your channel before, so my opinion in unbiased. This looked like a combo of fatigue and inexperience. You didn't make the turn because... you weren't turning your bike. You had almost no lean angle, you could have made that turn very easily. You said you were coming in too fast, but no, not at all. You *thought* you were going too fast and it seems like you panicked and tried to slow down, therefore standing up the bike, and possibly target fixating on the outside of the curve. These are all classic mistakes that we need to train our brains out of. Number one, look where you want to go, and commit to that, I mean really turn your head and stick your eyes to the inside of that turn no matter what, and do what you need to go *there*. Number two, you think the bike can't make it, but it can, you had miles of lean angle left. Number three, practice practice practice, pushing yourself progressively. Number four, don't ride when mentally or physically tired. Number five, do not put your weight on your arms, you can't steer your bike properly if you're doing that. Push left to lean left, push right to lean right.
Please take this advice the right way. I've been there myself as a rider for 20 years. Crashed several times, more as a novice and less as I got more experienced, which I guess is a good sign lol. And fatigue was the cause of two of them. Luckily survived all my blunders, although with some scars. Wish you many years of happy, fun, safe riding. Peace :)
This is great advice. Thank you. I went to the track yesterday in the same bike. And worked on exactly what you said. Tons of improvement. Look out for the video. I’ll post it in a couple days. Ride safe. God bless
🙂
You could have counter-steered more and been easier with the throttle mid-corner, especially when you realized it was getting/staying tighter.
Yeh he could have done. If he knew what he was doing.
you were too reliant on engine braking and not properly trail braking
Om man kör såhär så ska man fan inte få vara på två hjul, godnatt.
:D
Geez. Hard to watch. Completely avoidable. Turn the bike.
7:20
Bro, you drive too slow that is why you crashed, you are not leaning properly aNd the bike lost balance.
