I hope you do not know this guy because I am going to call him a complete and utter jackass!!! Let's wave at the stupid camera and forget where we are. Not only did he total his crapped out bike, he probably caused thousands of dollars in damage to the Vette. He did not even brake until he was already in the other lane. What a tool!!!

Photo #19 FTW!!!! :D

[Raleigh Marauder]

No, I don't know him. If I did, I'd probably call him a jackass too.

I'm just wondering if he got an 8 x 10.... :D

I agree Bob.

Photo 19 was my favorite, even though I feel for the guy in the Vette, I was LMAO and every pic just made me laugh more.

What Bob said! What a ma'roon!

"The Dragon" isn't that the twisty turney road in NC, AKA "Tail of the dragon", Deals Gap?

[Bluerauder]

Despite the "Here's your Sign" factor of this incident, I hope the guy is OK. Looked to be a pretty nasty spill, a totally destroyed motorcycle, and an AFU Corvette. :(

I'd rate a 9.5 for style on the 360* Flip and a 1.5 on the execution of the landing. ;) That's a 5.5 Overall.

Never understood the appeal of riding a motorcycle on a busy, narrow and unfamiliar road with decreasing radius turns.

[Gryphonzus]

The biggest reason he hit the Vette is because he fixated on it instead of looking through the turn. If you watch you can see the more he turns his head to watch the covette the more he heads towards it. He needs to take some riding classes.:shake:

Me and 20 of my buddies go down there every spring for a week. That road is awesome to ride a sport bike on its a rush you can't get anywhere else in the world!


BTW, I know I'm gonna get some crap for this but its so does not surprise me from a cruiser rider. They do NOT pay attention down there at all. He obviously has no experience on the dragon at all.

Actually LOL'd at #19.

[Vortech347]

That had to hurt, jackass.

Actually LOL'd at #19.

I did too. Is that wrong...?

[WhatsUpDOHC]

I think that he was signaling the right-hand turn, not waving.

Hey rolled on the gas with the bike all loaded, he couldn't make the right with one hand and went into the Vette.

Clearly out of his league for the iron that he was a straddlin'.

I call them "Hell's Accountants".

He does need riding lessons because he got a great flying lesson.

That is now my screen saver at work.

Is he dead? Did he die?

We were riding that road years ago before it became a destination. nothing there but the gas station that was over-grown and abandoned. I stopped riding it because of Dumb-a.... like that!

[mrjones]

He was leaned over far enough to make the turn, but he freaked and stood the bike up, straightening out and hitting the Vette. The Vette driver did an admirable job trying to avoid him, but nowhere to go. Looked like a nice Triumph bike, at least it used to be.

[stevesoasis]

Must have been another camera man around the corner because in photos 20-22 hes waving again!! Very well composed after a complete flip,totaling his bike and some poor guys vette. This guy just loves the camera!!!

Correction - He was waving at someone - He was looking at the camera. I couldn't see this on my phone but see it on the computer.

He was still "highsidin'" the turn without two hands on the bars and couldn't get out of it (never heard of a BRAKE, I guess).

Too bad no one cleaned up the oil from the crash.

This happened the next day.

Quote from the thread...

Hey this is Jeff's son, he is in pretty bad shape, going to be in ICU for possibly 3 weeks.
Fractured skull around orbital area
Missing top 4 teeth
Lip split up to nose
Broken neck
Broken back (again)
2 collapsed lungs
Multiple ribs broken on both sides
Lacerated liver
Busted up kidney
Heaving bruising on right side

He is responsive only by movement of hands and a slight head nod. Thanks for all your thought and prayers!

would rather get a bunch of riders together and rent time at a race track at least we will all going in the same direction
not a happy sight .

My photo is from the dragon. Notice no waving.
