The "How not to" thread (video)

**G.Irish** · 11-27-2006, 11:31 PM

I was just thinking that a lot of the titles for these moto videos starts with "How not to..." so why not have a "How not to thread".

First up: How not to catch a draft down the front straight on a 125. Apparently in the GP 125's it's common practice to loiter on the front straight to try to catch a tow off someone else during qualifying and/or free practice. Well...

Holy crap! The poor dude's leg collapsed... I mean, I guess that's what happens when it gets hit by a motorcycle... just - damn!

Geez that was horrible. He tried to take one step on it and it was no worky.

BLINGMW · 11-28-2006, 09:43 AM

wow they should really not let them do that

Evan · 11-28-2006, 04:25 PM

fucking shit, they park the bikes on a hot track?!

**G.Irish** · 11-28-2006, 04:26 PM

Yeah I think FIM issued an edict after that. It's really odd but I've found on more than one occassion that bike sanctioning bodies are a lot more lax about safety in certain areas than the tintop powers that be. Seems like a no-brainer to not let people try to catch drafts on the front straight like that, 125 cc or not.

No "How not to wheelie" thread would be complete without at least one Hayabusa crash:

When not wearing a helmet, one should avoid looping it...
