Trying to figure out what caused this guy's off. They were pushing it a bit hard leading up to the corner but seemed to slow down enough going in. In slo-mo you see the Duc's rear tire bouncing around just before the low side. Possibly a wee bump unsettled the bike.

Road looks a little dirty and on a light bike like that tyre type and getting it up to tempicture for that type of riding are also important looks like it just let go because of one of those reasons ,hopefully they all ok :thumbup
 
Bugga......

2nd guy must be kicking himself for following so close & getting drawn into it....... still , we've all done daft things..
As above, hope they are both ok...
 
Watching the slo mo. hanging off to show boat dragging knee also caused side stand to touch down twice before rear tyre lost grip. 2nd man just got sucked in and grabbed a fist full of front stopper.
Hate to see good bikes ruined but hope riders are ok.

Ouch!!!!! Hope they're ok as said,

I found that riding with distance between each other is best, I put that into practice last Saturday, approx 40 miles between us at one point haha, ^^^^^^^^ that right Phil. :lol

plonker, must get knee down for camera...must get knee down for camera...must get knee down for camera...oops, lack of talent.

notice the size of the chicken strips on the back tyre??
 
Yep. Posing for the camera is always an issue here. Used to ride this area often but now I detour around it on the weekends due to all the Rossi wannabees. There's a ton of great roads in the area that are mostly empty. I'm pretty much done with the snake.
