You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Damn. At least in  the gp/superbike wrecks they 'arse' all going the same direction. This is like a Pedarosa' plook-up comming at you at 100 mph, plus the rider's  own speed, of course.

i like at exactly 1min you can see the rider go sliding forward past the bike (and i say like because it doesnt look like he is seriously hurt)
so i guess its not a helmet cam

Well, they're going fast enough, but right before impact, he was slowing down from 51mph to about the high 40s, according to his digital speedo there...

Dunno how fast the other guy was going.

Ouch.
