2019 BMW S1000RR vs Man with One Leg
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Managed to get myself a fappishly good s1000rr for the weekend and took it down to Barcelona for some lappage with a mate who sadly lost his leg before Christmas.
Makes you think about some of the excuses we have for not riding - well done mate, i'm proud of you. 
Авто/Мото
So apart from the leg bit at the start - this video is mainly just laps as i know a lot of you like watching it and its kinda hypnotic and relaxing?! Anyway, big love to Ollie.
What an inspiration he is, and you mate! Great vid, love what you do. And just so you know, your vids are the reason I'm riding bikes today, six or so years after I first discovered your channel and decided to do my DAS. Best decision I ever made.
BTW Barron, have you seen Simon Crafer's motovudu stuff? I'm thinking of doing some training with him to learn how to make the most of my bikes on track.
more track days please :)
Fantastic video Chris and Ollie, love watching these full lap vids. I know it's a very personal thing but is there anywhere we can find out more about Ollie and his setup that allows him to get back on the bike ? Got a friend in a very similar situation considering getting back on the bike. Good job lads!
Ollie what a ledge, take a bow man, incredible resilience and massive cojones #Respect
I don’t think you give yourself as much credit as you deserve Baron for you’re riding ability, seems to improve as the videos come along, mad respect for Ollie too tho!! 💙
Definitely this. I don't think Baron could have gotten by him but he certainly didn't get left behind either. Ever since the BBB Italia on the F4 barons been on fire.
I think watching unedited laps is very enjoyable, thanks.
Hats off to the man he is a leg end.
True LEGend
a little bit tasteless don't you think?
William Rutledge People do anything for likes 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
@@mail_liw get a life.
@@scrotiemcboogerballs4967 was I talking to you?
Big respect to your friend Ollie ..... people should never say “I can’t do that” ......makes you think ... 👍
Would you guys be willing (ollie included) to cover his recovery and systems that he uses more in depth. Maybe in a 44teeth video?
Sounds like an interesting topic.
"But I don't care, I'm old and I'm fat." - Mr. Von Grumble 2019
Great quote and also that friend of yours is a legend! He basically just lives life as if it didn't happen! Truly a testament to human willpower.
Incredible man, he might have one leg, but makes up for it with the biggest pair of balls ever! Fair play, some people are truly amazing! See you soon bell end x
Dont worry he still has 2 legs, 1 is extra long.
That pass on the right-left transition was b-e-a-u-tiful! Mad props to any Rider that can make that look that easy. Bravo Ollie
That is seriously impressive riding by Ollie. Love the video, quite hypnotic and relaxing for sure.
Nothing better than a rogue Baron upload! Much love big man x
As a rider with leg/foot disabilities I would very much appreciate learning more about how your mate gets along so swimmingly on his sportbike with just his one leg. With severe and progressive nerve damage in both of my legs I have lost the ability to have any flexion (gas pedal) movement in either foot. It has made riding a challenge and I found your video inspirational. Cheers!
You can do anything if you put your mind too it, this is a perfect example of what we can do with positive thinking and the will...Hats off to you Ollie I wish I was as good of a rider as you
That moment you think your on it and someone with less limbs than you comes past and brings you back to reality that talent is out there in all forms. Had a one armed guy overtake me at snett several times like I was going backwards. How he could brake so hard and late I’ll never know. Mental. Bravo Ollie keep doing what your doing, inspirational.
When someone overcomes the odds, it's always nice to know. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. (Both of you!)
You're pretty rapid yourself, Baron.
Big respect to Ollie.
This bike is my wet dream. I was never a supersport fan but the new S1000rr is just so perfect in my eyes.
Massive props to ollie.
Have you and Fagan ever considered running track days / schools ? That’d be a banger ! Fair play to Oli for not giving up, very cool 😁
that's actually a mint idea,
That's crazy. Still doing what he loves even after such a tragic injury. Mad respect.
Baron you keep mentioning how fast Ollie is, but you seem very comfortable at that pace. Well ridden. I’m a complete novice but he was never gaining on you. Much respect for Ollie! If ever you have the time to visit Cape Town, free accommodation in the garden flat, and great weather. Thanks you always make my day, watching your videos, and enjoy your great sense of humor. Keep it up!
Awesome to see Ollie being able to do what he loves, he's an inspiration. Thanks Baron for the awesome video and that 2019 BMW S1000RR is beautiful!
Great video. As someone who is learning to ride, its great to watch your lines, how you are trail braking, and where you apply throttle from corner to corner. More like this please, on track and on the road. Thanks!
Guy's just having a lie down in the turns. Mad respect for still doing this.
Major quality riding from both of you Chris and massive respect to Ollie.
No excuses! What a legend!!!
Always pursuit what makes your blood rush! No matter what.
Ollie...well done my man, that was some epic riding. Congrats to you as well Baron for keeping up with him 👍
Those were some insane riding skills by you and your pal. Also, really nice to see the new Beemer getting thrown around a little bit. I'm growing ever fonder of that machine.
It was a joy seeing you on that bike. ..and boy it's fast. Geez.. Hats off to your mate for still riding, and riding fast. When shit has hit the fan in some way, want and ability doesn't always come together, but thankfully in this case they did. He can certainly hold his head up high, when it comes to throwing a bike around on a track at least :)
Missing half a leg and still drifting the front at will? Top bloke and a very enjoyable video again. Nice one chaps.
I am sure this video just made me better at track riding. I sometimes struggle to look far ahead when cornering. But with this angle we can see exactly where you are looking at and it is really cool ! Smooth as heck aswell !
Great video! Thanks! And much respect for your friend. True inspiration. One thing - BMW made a big deal about how in this model it's so much easier to pop off the mirrors and lights for track days, yet you left on the mirrors. Tsk tsk.
Wow Ollie, that's incredible and nerve-wracking for me to watch, I am so proud of you and your achievements.
Seems like after watching your mate go around the turns you got better and better, faster and faster, and more confident. Keep it up, both of ya
Absolutely phenomenal riding from both of you! Definitely need so more footage of this 👌🏼 Kudos to Ollie for being able to perform like he did on track and to you also Baron for being such a humble guy 👍🏼
Hopefully Boothy is watching this in hospital. Good riding from both Albanian Chris, as he is summer 2022, and Ollie
"Definitely need so more footage of this"
I laughed at that because it was an unintended pun, which the best always are.
Incredible from the 1 footed gent. What a fantastic video man. You're and awesome rider too.
Mate of mine who I raced with back in the early 2000's lost his leg below the knee in a race incident, and he too got back on the bike. He put a bolt through his right peg, drilled a hole through his race boot, and used the bolt/hole combination to keep his foot on the peg. Worked surprisingly well.
Wouldn't that be a disaster if he crashed whilst his leg was still bolted on?
Dunno, he never crashed. To be fair, he wasn't bolted on as such; the end of the bolt slipped into the hole he had in the bottom of his boot, so it wasn't a permanent connection, but I get your point
@@westers1514 Ohright haha makes sense. Man i wish i had even 1/4 of Barons skill on a bike
Chris, you're not even wearing BMW DoubleR gloves.
Huge respect to Ollie. I hope I'm never in his situation, because he seems to be handling it way better than I think I ever could.
And also huge respect to the BMW engineers for building the best stock bike available. I'm trying to get on one for next race season. I might have to settle for a 2015 that's sitting in a warehouse right now. If I'll even be allowed to race that.
i'm so inspired of the man that has only one leg..
I Salute that man..
From Philippines
Technically 3/4 of a leg since it's a BKA
Great video, obviously your buddy still riding but then you giggling shows how much you enjoyed it.
Loving the unedited video 👌👍
Your mate is a class act and quite a rider. He is Fast A.F. - I love how early he picks up the throttle in a corner and just pulls away. Blinding corner speed as well.
That double AR is pretty rapid as well and certainly brakes like a mofo. Didn't do to bad yourself each lap as you always caught him back up.
Hats off to the guy for still doing what he loves. There's an Aussie named Alan Kempster who's missing an arm and a leg who races bikes, such an inspiration..
Keep us updated with his progress. Great vid. 💪🏻👌🏻
Would love to see this again with the Speedo readout on the corner of the screen. Nice riding mate.
BARONNNN, your vids make me so happy when they pop up haha keep it up mate. As for Ollie, ive seen a few people use really strong magnets to hold the bottom of their boot/prosthetic to the foot peg, might be worth a shot for him rather then being tangled in the wire
Dang to say he lost a leg baron, he sure smashed everyone on the track towards the end, good for him always nice seeing people not give up when life gives them lemons.
Love these types of vids. Keep it up Baron!
You always sound like you're being so hard on yourself. You're a damn good rider, fast and smooth.
Loved this track day content. Would absolutely love to see more of this stuff on 44 teeth with u and Al. Need more of this it’s awesome! 👍 thanks sue ❤️
Had a good chat with Ollie at Jerez last year, he is a weapon on a bike. Good to see him on 2 wheels!
Absolutely loved this video thank you. You look very fast yourself these days!
Great respect for both Ollie is a winner and nice skills Mr. Baron
My buddy rides drag bikes with one arm. These guys are amazing💪💪💪 we once watched his arm prosthetic arm come off at 190 mph at the 1/4 mile mark and it was flapping in the wind behind him. He still got the bikes stopped, put the arm back on and made another 7 second pass. 💪
The boy's quick eh....seems determined to lose his other leg.
I'll show myself out.
Seriously though to still be able to ride like that is decent, fair play. Great that he's not letting it stop him, good lad.
He's Ollie over you 🤣 👍🏼
Dude's fast, good thing he had his third leg in his boot to weight it down!
Seriously though, I have the utmost respect for amputees riding like savages! In fact, I sold my KX450 to an elderly gentleman who was a left foot amputee for the payoff amount and I paid off the free scheduled maintenance insurance for the bike. Great deal for him, but I had to get rid of it because I was flipped 4 times in my Jeep as well as a herniated disc in my lower back... All because an illegal ran his red light! Kept hurting my back and it wouldn't heal, sold it to try and about surgery that may not have fixed the disc.
The guy was tearing the woods up on a YZ 250 smoker with his own turned down shifter extension from his lathe.
His only problem was kick-starting in deep mud and he wanted the electric starter to help him out.
Keep'sm coming... If you want, no pressure bro!
Great video. Love hearing the scraping!!!
This was an awesome video. Thanks. It's amazing how hard yall lean a bike in a turn. I ride but not hard like yall. Love to watch it though
Jesus, you're a speedy fella now aren't you! Mad props to Ollie though - my appendages are all "satisfactory" and he'd leave me, and I suspect most of the rest of us, in the dust.
Nothing more fun than riding on a track with your best friend. Enjoy it while you can.
This is Alcarres I believe. Going there for 3 days in March. Can't wait.
You two are really fast on this track but I can tell you're actually faster than Ollie. Perhaps it's due to his poor leg or this RR is much faster than Ollie's bike. Respect to this man!!!
Very cool .My friend is a knee down amputee .on the left side .So I have to Fabricate controls on the right side of his bike to shift .Don’t worry he’s faster then I am also.He is also a huge inspiration for me in every aspect of life.
Unedited laps all day! That sound is special man....
A shimano spd pedal would work for Ollie ‘s foot with the springs tight and will release in the event of a crash good luck
Chris Sanders I was going to suggest the same thing.
Same, this may be possible. Would be worth asking all the riders with physical impairments about it. there's an entire race class in Italy, there must be one in UK. Isn't there a TT rider who doesn't have a leg?
Andy Parker yes I think it would work probably need a custom made rearset to mount the pedal but it’s easily done👍
No doubt the Baron is bloody quick these days. Hats of to you sir and Ollie.
la sfida di quest' uomo non e' più con la moto ma con se stesso e i suoi nuovi limiti. auguri tenacious!
Brilliant ride chaps, I cant believe the speeds you're doing round those corners, nearly scraping the wing mirror. 🤤 Have you thought about entering into some races, you look ready.
Honestly this is the best track video you have shared at least for me...
Very cool. I know a guy who doesn't have the use of either of his legs. He's in a wheelchair permenantly but has a modified trike that he fixes the wheelchair into. Great bloke.
Wow the guy is a real inspiration kudos ... where can I learn to corner like that ..... start of 3rd season riding at age of 48 ..... never done a track day or track training ..... just progressed to an Aprilia Tuono V4. ..... any tips where to go for the best (and kinda of affordable) cornering / track training would be appreciated. Currently living/working in the Netherlands but will most likely come to the UK for the training ANY tips / advice welcome. .
Great vid .. I feel you were holding back tho' you had the speed - Ollie total respect - so quick..! :)
Saw one guy fixate his legs with two strong magnets (like 40kg ones). That probably works better than long springs? But he was paralysed and didn’t use his legs at all.
Probably a platform with a strong magnet that allows him to move his toes (instead of the footpeg) and one on the lever.
Steel plates under the boot (heel and toes) and done.
Excellent video! Man that guy is rapid! And your pretty rapid too!
I love the sound of grerrrr from the pegs and knee/boot sliders the the pickup in revs
Awesome vid. Can we expect a 44T interview with the legend that is Ollie, talking about the mods to his bike and how he has adapted himself?
Great video though i wish it was a slightly wider view, I would like to see what your hands are doing re trail braking and rolling on and off the throttle etc. Damn that bike is fast!
That’s passion for you, good on him for continuing to ride, and it’s great theirs no fucking music, or editing, awesome job.
Your mate might have one foot, but for a bloody 40 year old giraffe you are bloody rapid Chris.
Two beautiful bikes, two beautiful men, and a fucking BEAUTIFUL track.
I hit my climax here.
There is a pro motorbike racer in my country still in race with 1 legs
Big respect from me to your friend
Leg end vs bell end. Great stuff, sir.
Wtf!!! Your mates mental, knowing more that he has one leg and is a BSB rider, hats off to him baron
I came in my pants a little when i saw a new Baron video. Keep em coming. I like these better than 44 lol
Hey Grumble
Wonder if you could mod some SPD cleats to boot and bike. Got to be more secure/safer than springs, twist to release too.
Just a thought..
Boy was cooking everyone in that track ! 👍
Love the video, wondering if there’s any chance you could do a video on how to get into doing track days? Really wanting to give it a go but I don’t know where/ how to start!
One Legged Man Wins Arse Kicking Competition
I had to do a search for you, wondered where you went.
Epic, I have those Racer gloves and the Chicken Hawk Racing tyre warmers, Good choices, Lol. And although I haven’t lost a leg I’m week 5 into recovering from a broken back, broken pelvis, broken femur and 7 broken ribs from a skydiving accident. Oops
'Tis but a flesh wound'
Did the chute not open?
Nah I'm joking, hope you have a good recovery. That seems like a lot to break at once.
8:51 "His foot came off"
What?! Again!? :D
Chris. You now know pretty much how this stacks up vs the HP4. Share it with us. Btw lovely job from the pair of yous....
Nice skills. That bike looks like a lotta fun!
How far your biking experience has come since the dragstar 125 cruiser and gsxr 750 days mate ;} nice control and confident race mate, you clearly enjoy this race
Motorbike racers are another breed.
"So I only have one foot, so what? It's only a minor setback"
you know who Billy monger is right?
@@harrywhite9030 yeah I know, what a legend.
He goes so fast because he's saving weight with one less leg. Jokes aside, massive props to him, what a trooper.
Love the unedited laps!! Great video mate! Respect for your friend!
Well played, Ollie. You're not so slow yourself, sir. Ride on.
big props to ollie!
also you take forever to get back on the throttle
Damn! One leg 😳 I need to practice my corner more. He’s good. He was passing half of the Ryder’s.🤦♂️
He might be part of a leg short but if he just makes sure to sling those big balls over the right of the seat for 50:50 weight distribution jobs a good one haha👍🏻 this video was awesome!!! Thanks BVG
