Sportbikes behind our Motards...did someone crash?
Hey all, don't post up in here much, but i think we may have been in front of the Wed. night ride tonight inadvertantly...seemed like 5-6 sportbikes following us out skyline and after we hit that diminishing radius turn, no more sportbikes...

Hope nobody went down and if they did nobody got hurt.

Nah man these are sportbike riders! They probably just pulled over to take pictures next to there bikes with some nice roads in the background. I guess you could say they "posed"

skyline doesnt have many places to pull over and take pictures.

I was one of them, and yes, that guy with white kawa (don't know his name) was longer at the radius and little bumped to the green subaru. He is alright, just his kawa has bended frame slider and little crack by headlights. it was very lucky moment for him...

Gonna guess at a translation attempt here. . .

-Hello friend! I happened to be a member of that group of sportbikes you observed on Skyline road!

-We did in fact have a fellow rider on a white Kawasaki that happened to mis-judge an appropriate line for that decreasing radius turn, and did in fact hit the green Subaru you may have noticed there as you went through.

-He was quite fortunate however, in that he was alright and suffered only minor damage to his bike, including a bent frame slider and a bit of plastic cracking by his headlight.


(Only my best guess, I wasn't there, but that sounds like a plausible translation)

Not me, FYI. I'm more extravagant in my crashes.

Indeed, and if you ride a sportbike, your pace is never going to be the pace of a motard on a twisty road.


Flamesuite on and happy to hear nobody was hurt.
