ZX10 Crash in Front of a Cop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2016
- A 2016 Kawasaki ZX10r goes wide striking a recently installed "No Stopping" sign. Fortunately only the bike hit the sign, the rider only had minor road rash.
A California Highway Patrol happened to be sitting on the curve when the incident occurred. A report was made but the rider was not cited.

This Park sign describes "the Snake"
"You are standing at the top of curves that road enthusiasts affectionately call "The Snake". Over the years Mulholland Highway has tested the merits of cars from Duesenbergs to Teslas. This particular stretch of road is a mecca for motorcyclists. It's sharp turns offer an adrenaline rush and a chance for fun, fame and often folly.
To your left is "Edwards Corner". It was named after the late Ed Savko, long-time owner of the Rock Store., a popular road house just down the hill. Hundreds of riders have (----) on this challenging 180- degree curve, perhaps showing off for spectators, who often gather here. Other succumb safely to the charm of "The Snake." "
Thanks for watching!

Did he get a ticket for stopping in a no stopping zone?
That made me LOL.
stop making fun guys,that could have been your brother or father. lucky is fine
lol lol lol lol lol best comment so far
LMAO
LMAO.. thanks man.. I needed a good laugh
That's one sturdy sign pole for sure. Get well soon the to rider.
I took a look at the description and saw that the rider wasn't cited. It's good to see he managed to wipe out in front of an honest officer. Mistakes happen. That's just a part of being human. I'm glad to see this cop was able to resonate with the fact that not all accidents occur from reckless driving. Ride safe, man.
This accident happened because the rider had zero experience and had no clue how to come into a corner. This rider shouldn't even be on a bike
helmet, check
boots, check
gloves, check
and a nice thin cotton t shirt.
okleydokley When it's hot as hell, your better off not roasting in a jacket...
at least he had a padded vest
nIce bike...Very nice elbow bleeding leather suit!!!
Priceless!
you're
If there is anyone that cares for their fellow human beings, then please drive up that mountain and pull that sign out of the ground.
Yeah then he'll hit a stopped car instead.
Yeah let's sanitize the world. Get rid of the assault too since that obviously causes some injuries too. Roads? No roads and no injuries. All roads will now be foam rubber with 15 foot high walls of more foam rubber.
The sign didn't hit him, he hit the sign. That was one poor piece of riding right there.
theres a part of the driving written test out here that sets you up for blaming conditions, when the answer is poor driving skills.
The operator of the bike took the turn too wide. that's his fault he couldnt stay on the road. It was an accident, yes, but you're supposed to be aware of potential risks ad know how to corner at what speed. it isn't the sign's fault, and as a rider myself, if someone gets taken out by that sign, at least it wont involve another car.
+xtravisxmanx How about screwing the sign to the side of the mountain?
"I might have hit the dirt"...
Yeah that happens when you ride off the side of the road.
Red 5 he has some nice lean action. Definitely dragged knee, elbow, and hip.
@RANDOM USER I wouldn’t call this riding a bike. I’d call it crashing a bike, because you don’t know what you are doing.
Everyone makes mistakes, this one was just worse than most
Why are people getting upset like this comment is wrong 😂 he took a sport bike onto dry dirt while turning 😂 simple as that
Dude gets a kick ass sport bike with no leather gear or experience and thought it'd be a great idea to go ride Mulholland. He should have been cited for stupidity! WTF was he thinking?!!
Damn thats a hard'ass sign
Whoever put it there did a good job of laying some good cement
dig hole fill with cement....not so hard!
Then again...
Carlos Miraballes good ass sign
mhks68 cement at the base doesn't keep it from bending bud ;)
Shout out for that engineering! The real mvp
The sign instructing bikes:
"No Stopping Here", stopped his bike.
Is that contradictatory?
he needed a pole eliminator kit
Shout out to the cameraman! He did a concussion test and stuff like that, glad to see there are people who care!
I could have answered those questions even in my sleep ... Very easy questions.
Good to see that he walked away.
Sub D in the house!!
when you going to make a video out their sub D i seen how you can handle your bike
GC December?
+Estebeasy Sub D has a clip of him going to The Snake. Not sure what it was called though =)
BUT GLAD HE FUCKED UP HIS BIKE!
1 Sign post, it's like a magnet to accidents.
Target fixation.
Eric Bowling You don't look old enough to have a driver's license :)
***** Congrats. I didn't in the picture, I suppose I should change it.
I'm 58 today. I should retire and ride my Ninja 1000 all day.
To be fair it's basically in the worst spot possible.
So, there's a spot, a single location, that is on record as the site of tens or possibly even hundreds of motorcycle crashes or running wide incidents over the past few years, a huge number of them actually videod and archived on the internet, and somebody decides that out of all the places along that road where they could place that no stopping sign, that one spot which has so far allowed most of its crashees to walk or limp away would be the perfect spot.
I'm no soothsayer, but I preict one or more on camera fatalities and serious injuries as a result of that pole. Whoever decided to put it there is either stupid & reckless, or an actively malicious troll, and they should be personally held accountable for manslaughter when the inevitable and easily predictable happens.
Thats our city council for you
The concept was to dissuade riders from going too fast through the curve. 'Hey, there's a sign there, if I go to fast and crash, I'll hit it, maybe I need to slow down.' Of course, that isn't going to work. Actually, it was probably some unionized city worker who got the job, and he ended up saying 'Oh, here's a good place, we'll put it here. Doesn't matter.'
city council should consider the safety of inexperienced riders going beyond their limits on public roads? majority of states don't even have a helmet law.... seems a sign is the least of our safety worries.
I mean, it makes sense to ban stopping/parking in a spot where hundreds of motorcycle crashes have occurred. Of course, the implementation has some room for improvement.
degnaw I agree, the signs are not needed if a smashed up motorcycle is lying there at all times. But, having been there and spoken with RNickey on this topic - there are not hundreds of crashes to tend with... maybe a good 60 or so, but most are from amateurs riding at intermediate speeds.
Driving one of the most powerful motorcycles available, with no proper gear and going wide seems like this guy should've chosen another kind of ride... Hope it gets well because sometimes those minor crashes hurt a lot more than they appear
My friend Kevin passed away hitting a bus sign just like that in 1988 while riding an Interceptor 500. This sign will hurt and or kill a rider soon and serves no purpose other than to harass the rider community.
Honestly the sign could go back a couple hundred feet, and still serve its (pointless) purpose.
Last time I went to the snake I noticed there was a few signs that were cut off. Now I know why. This sign needs to go too.
Vash Hef "natural selection"
That sign will definitely kill someone !!
aynen
It's off the side of the road. If someone hits it it's their fault, not the signs'. haha
DANE Gerous Not, always. But more than likely.
So I guess all that tax payers money they splash out putting up guard rails is wasted, right? I mean, that long guard rail before the sign that stops cars & bikes going over a cliff when they crash? That's expensive hardware. Get rid of it, if people run wide there and off the road then who cares if they plummet to a horrible agonising death, it's entirely their own fault...
Ken Haylock Haha You can't even compare these two things. First off, they are fundamentally different. You're comparing a proven life saving device to a no parking sign. We can agree the sign isn't really in the most optimal place, and I think it definitely needs a different placement.
They should remove the pole and put the sign on the side of the hill.
exactly, they just need to move it back a bit. Three bikes have hit that sign that I know of. Probably more
May be relocation the road !!!
Nah, encase the pole in concrete and paint Darwin's face on it.
Maybe put speed bumps on the curve and stop all this rice rocket crashing bullshit, huh? The squids obviously are not adhering to the posted "20 MPH" signs. You should have known.
+Yamaha SR650 rice rocket... you ride a Yamaha lol scooters and "real bikes" crash here weekly.
Nah man. It wasn't sand. He went way too wide. Good thing he wasn't hurt. Bike's done!
This statement makes no sense
You're right, it wasn't sand ON THE ROAD. He went wide and hit the sand on the side of the road. So, it WAS sand.
Went too wide.......into the sand.
funny how you edited your comment but it still makes no sense
Glad he didn't give him a ticket. His day was bad enough.
What always boggles my mind, and I'll never fully grasp is how even in a seemingly slow and easy crash... how easily the bike jumps and hops like it weighs _nothing!_
Bikes are super heavy, and his just popped and spun around that pole like it was a bicycle! I saw a simple low speed high side where a guys bike flipped twice sideways like a barrel roll! He couldn't have been doing more than 20mph and his bike just FLEW!
That is so scary.
The energy involved in even a tiny crash is terrifying.
That's about the dumbest place to put a no parking sign. Someone is going to straddle that thing and really get hurt.
Yea, that sign is blocking all of those padded foam rocks.
maybe they put it there 'cause of that photographer that parked there and literally got his car hit like 5 seconds later LOL
Charlie Foxtrot HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA got me rollin when I read that
No these people really need to learn how to ride, smh I see Harley’s cornering better than most of these guys
@@Bigiron429 Yeah of course they do, however that doesn't change the fact some (most) people don't and that sign is still a hazard for target fixation. You have any real argument here?
This is why you should wear a jacket
why?
its a scratch,, big deal.. omg i saw some blood.. lol..
Yeah, it getting cold out.
Real men dont need jackets, bitch.
real men do need functioning skin though
nice to see that first respondeder responding last...
I've seen a few of these and they always radio it in first.
Cut him some slack.
there are steps to be taken. radio it in, assess hazards. etc. the untrained guy with the camera just goes right over, because a) he doesnt have anything better to do, and b) he's not trained to assess hazards. if there were a fire and that gas tank were leaking, for example. it wasnt, but thats something that takes a couple seconds to rule out for trained personnel.
Lol the guy wasn't bleeding out. Did the officer have to beat Usain Bolt to the scene? Radio what happened, step out of vehicle, make sure traffic is not going to kill you or anyone else(traffic control) fire hazard? medical aide bag needed from vehicle before sprinting over there? Things to do and think about before just running into a scene failing your arms screaming and staring. 😉
0:29 blood dripping
"Did you get that?!" haha
TAOFLEDERMAUS lol i was just watching your vids
@@mrnepe6925 Yea same right before this one. Magnesium 12 gauge slugs.
Remove that fuckin pole before someone dies!
The sign is there to prevent cars from parking there. What would you rather hit?
Jonas Rosenven no one ever parked on that side of the road before the sign was put up.
Pitties, a WRX and More If it's there for no reason it should of course be removed.
Niether. Just attach a bigger sign on to the hillside.
*The cop was coming up to tell him he can't park his bike like that on TOP of the sign that says 'No parking at any time'...*
*Huh... that's strange... what the hell is a cop n a sign doing at a private race tra... oh wait....*
He wasn't racing - hell, he wasn't even speeding
This Is a famous public Road in LA
they should be making that corner SAFER - not more dangerous by adding roadside furniture!
remove all the hard objects and bung in a bunch of tyres maybe??
Or just make the road straight.
or Nascar bank the corner
Put speed bumps every 100 feet to prevent people speeding. Thus preventing crashes, and deaths from crashes.
They just need to add speed bumps before and after the turn to discourage speeding. He took the turn too fast I believe.
I don't think most people would vote for tax dollars used on making this corner safer to drag knee on.
So would the cop fine him for something or is he all good to go?
Didn´t look like he was speeding, just took the wrong line
They can ticket for failure to control, but they usually don't unless you are being reckless or running from them.
and this guy seemed to be taking it easy. so hopefully the worse for him was a couple scrapes and a phone call to the insurance company.
No the cop will just take an accident report,that's it. he didnt break any laws but crached his bike
That's supposed to be a failure to control ticket.
totaling the bike and hurting his pride. He wont be riding anytime soon lol probably what the cop thought to
Crazy how a small pole can be dangerous...
he was dangerous when he went wide. he need more practice.
kokoloko12398 that's what she said
Fucking Lol
It's those damn assualt poles at it again
Groovy Panda BAN ASSAULT POLES!!!
glad you guys were so helpful!! good on you
If the sign wasn't there the dude would still have a bike..oooh the irony.. (did i fuck up the verbs?)
I wonder how many ppl are going to blame the cop for sitting there and distracting the biker. lol
Nope looks like the blame is on the sign lol.
I've seen a few comments of that. And also what Kouki says.
The only one to blame is the rider for being right on the ledge.
if.he had fixated on the cop he would have pulled away from the edge.
Michael Bruns Its not about him being fixated on the cop its just that they sometimes see a cop and have mini freak out leading to them crashing. Mostly from applying brake.
Can't believe this unfolded infront of me! And this happened twice! That sign couldn't be in a more dangerous position, and the damage it had done to that brand new Ninja was more shocking in person. The Snake' certainly delivered for this Aussie - cheers fellas!
why the fuck would they put an immovable object in one of the most famous crash corners on the world
*Sir do you have any idea how uncool you crashed...*
If only that sign wasn't there, then the world would be a better place.
Dang! Glad he is ok
I'm sorry man. I'm glad you are okay. Ride safe.
Still held his phone!
omg that's the all new zx10r!
that really broke my heart 😢
The squid will have another next week.
Jason Reacts and Rides
ikr. and i'm just sitting here, riding a 250cc bike :(
the world really is not a fair place haha.
@@banggegep4408 I got here by searching zx10 - cause I'm restoring a 1990 original ZX-10. If that was one of the 88-90 bikes in that crash I would have seriously cried.
Love your vids long time subscriber....
And that, boys and girls, represents the STATISTICALLY most common type of motorcycle accident in America ... Single rider, single vehicle, clear weather and decent road conditions. Nobody at fault but the driver of the bike.
Banana Hammock this is true lol, the stats show most accidents are on high powered sports bikes on curved roads, not surprising at all.
Target fixation at its best.
Once you are off the road, there is really nothing you can do, traction is just gone.
i though he looked fine till he went off the road but doing a replay i think he hit the gas just a bit too soon and or too much. seems like that forced him to continue wide.
that sign is such an unnecessary danger to riders and bikes, I can't believe they would ever put one there knowing how many riders go down
cop seemed like a cool dude
On the street you should only ride at 60% of your skill level so you always have something in reserve, not 100%, it's not safe.
60% is a bit too safe though. if your sport bike can lean over 55 degrees, 60% of that is a 33 degree angle, which is less than what a scooter can do lol.
70-80% lets you have fun and learn proper technique with enough in reserve to give you a chance to react if something goes wrong.
He said 60% of your skill level, not 60% of the bikes capability.
+Red 5 haha - good call - another mathematician who doesn't ride gets schooled
minimoto23 lol internet commenter, knows nothing about me and still presumes he has shit to say
Red 5 yeah, skill level has nothing to do with it. there are only things that bike can and can't do. the only thing you need to know is how not to ask the bike to do what it can't and that has everything to do with its capacity.
you should put foam on that pole.
Water barrels.
squid vests.
That would be the first place I would look to park, very well placed sign
better dented tank than snapped neck
Damn that could have been a lot worse. Glad he walked away.
how to make a stunt tank lesson 1...
Ah first I've seen of that sign, where do you all park now?
that's why a good hang-off saves the day. you still have some amount of lean angle you can add, if you're doing it right
he wasn't going that fast, he had plenty more lean. My money says he fixated on that sign or the cop or something and stopped tracking his road placement.
they need to take down that god damn sign
RIP 2016 zed-x10R! Better the bike hit that pole than his torso. Yick!
Another one bites the dust -
A truly appalling lack of riding ability and of recklessly negligent judgment from a rider unsafe on public roads even with no other vehicles around!
Lmao my man rocking that yellow Kirkland microfiber towel
Your excuse " I just hit the dirt" will not justify why you went down. educate yourself about riding and proper gear. You can start watching the video Twist Of The Wrist to educate yourself about bikesZ
The sign was stationary, the cop was stationary, the motorcycle and rider were moving. The sign didn't hit the motorcycle and rider. The cop didn't hit the motorcycle and rider. The motorcycle and rider hit the sign. Stop blaming the sign or the cop. Ride safer and live longer.
That sign pole is stronger than my future.
Wow good video. Glad he wasn't hurt but that bike hit the sign super hard, hope it's not too expensive
So much money, so little skill...
If you start running wide roll off the throttle but maintain your target.
Unless you're already going too fast for the corner and are already out of lean angle. Then you just pucker and prepare for off-road mode like this nooblet.
Yeah but this guy just went off at practically walking pace >_>
Night Rider not the way I'd handle it. I think it's better to maintain throttle or lightly accelerate, look well into the corner, (counter)steer even tighter into corner, and pray there is enough lean left. Lots of pucker (not for the faint of heart) but most make it. The guy in the video would have had to react a lot sooner to save it. Once he was on dirt it was too late.
Hey night rider! Rolling off the throttle causes weight transfer to the front tire causing the bike to stand and go even wider. Never roll off. Stay on the throttle and countersteer even more. MSF 101. Thats a pretty common survival reaction.
vidurc Ive done it many times before.Roll off less centrifugal force keep your target.It will go wider if you target fixate maybe. Saved my buns more than a few times
It’s good to see how well that Stryker vest protected his elbows/arms. I will never understand people who wear those.
Damn! This corner should be in the Guinness world record book for "most crashed turn" in the history...
Glad he made out with just a couple scratches..
people yapping about the sign being there , here is an idea stay the f on the road that sign could have been a child etc
i like how he asks do you know what day it is, like he was knocked unconscious or something lol
...that's standard procedure for any moderate to serious motorcycle accident dude. It's pretty easy to get a serious concussion without being out cold. I've gotten a concussion so bad without being knocked out cold where I couldn't remember what happened for like half an hour.
What is it about this turn?!?? All the Mulholland crash videos I've ever seen on RUclips are at this turn!
It’s always good news when the GoPro is still running cuz at least you get sick footage haha
what brand of helmet shoei? x-spirit 2?
watching motorcycle accident videos won't stop me from getting one. But it will stop me from buying a brand new one!. Ya'll be safe out there hope to ride with ya'll soon!.
I'm glad he wasn't cited, he clearly was within the law. Good on them.
Probably the worst position for a pole.
I just wondering. is there an insurance for sportbike?
it's bad if u have to dig deeper everytime u crash the bike.
Maybe they should just line that whole curve with hay bales...
Did cop give him a ticker or just reporting to his notes?
Who ever put that roadsign there did an amazing job.....cant believe that its still standing straight after the bike hit it
ouch... that's a bummer
Its funny how just a tad touch of the dirt sent him flying
the two people driving by on the bike didn't even flinch or look in your direction. did they even stop to see if you was ok
is that Winter Edition ZX-10 R
It will buff right out! ;)
Glad you're ok!
was the police officer just writing up a crash report, no ticket rite
I dont think if the insurance company is gonna like that haha
Why did the Photog take the key then decide to put it back? I mean we should start frame analyzing and second guessing them!
That pole... another great and bright idea from city hall.
Watching most crashes makes my brain go “nooooo not the shiny bike” but owning an older zx10 makes this one a little more personal. Touch wood I’ve never had a crash that’s completely f***** a bike up may serendipity be with all that ride!
"I just hit the dirt" my ass! You went completely off of the road!
"So you might need to total this bad boy" I'll buy that write off lol
what now with that bike?
His attitude tells me he has full coverage insurance lmao
What phone mount is that???? Cuuuz I need it.
why was the cop citing him at the end?
which place is this site located on
Good thing that first photographer was also a trained neurologist. Two questions and medical exam complete !!!
That pole is badass, can't even tell it just totalled a bike lol
What was the ticket for?
