Thanks everyone for the overwhelming support. I usually reply to comments, but there's a ton of you this time around. I am okay, not a scratch, and the XR will be fixed eventually. I will make another video assessing the damage to the bike and talking a bit about what caused the incident. In the meanwhile, the Tuono will be seeing all the action; it's got some big shoes to fill like the saying goes.
Feels awful seeing this. I'm not gonna lie aside from the bent forks on mine it came away with a lot less damage than yours, I'm surprised, given the crash bars, and that it was a lowside. Hopefully, it's not as bad as it looks...
Comes with the sport and is bound to happen. Bikes can be fixed, people less. Glad you are OK. Sad to see the XR down, but she still looks good. Take care out there.
True story 😢 I was all ACE , until I crashed... Had to go for surgery on my right hand & my thumb got fused too , Now , when I ride track ... I'm slightly more cautious and just enjoying the day out
Hey man, atleast it was on the track and not the street. This is why we go to the track. Keep your head up my dude, you handled it well. Most riders have or will go down eventually. I know it's frustrating now but I'm sure it's a valuable lesson to you. Keep comfortable in your own realm, one lap at a time. God speed my friend.
Is crazy how those machines become so important to us The memory’s we build with the bikes And the emotions we get from the freedom When the bike is down is like you running to save a friend or a loved one You don’t even see if you are ok You just want the bike to go up and you want to see that it’s ok Ride safe brother ❤
Oh no! I did pretty much the same thing on my S1000XR last year on a favorite twisty back road, fast in a turn and leaned over so nicely, felt great about life right until grinding the peg lifted the rear wheel and low sided to the outside of the turn. Thankfully the bike didn't tumble and the crash bars did their job and it was not too badly damaged. On the rest of the ride home my thoughts were centered on, "welp, I am not Cuban Rider. I am not Cuban Rider. I need to remember that I am not Cuban Rider." It was alarming to come to the realization that my comfort level had gotten steadily higher to the point I was maxing out the ability of the bike and not really aware of how little I was leaving on the table at that speed/lean. A good ego check for myself. Sad as I am to see you go down in the same way I did, it's some consolation that we're all fallible. But still, I am not Cuban Rider. I am not Cuban Rider. I am not on a track. I am not Cuban Rider. Take it easy friend, and thank you for sharing these videos; they're definitely hard. Sadly, I didn't have footage rolling during mine. You continue to be an inspiration.
Holy smoke... so glad you're ok. God bless you brother.. The ol XR was a good companion. Always gave you everything she had. Hope to see you soon. 🙏🏻🕊 🏍
Glad You are OK. Lot of people get impression from you all around the world to buy an XR. We are loving our bike and you keep us entertaint about the developement, maintenace, tipps and tricks. Top of that you show to us and the rest of the motorcycle world what this bike is capable of with a skilled rider. As a member of the Hungarian XR Club I know most of us are following You and enjoyed all of your work. I can say all of Us glad that you are okay phisically. The bike can be fixed, your biker soul will be healed. We are wainting to see you on our beloved XR again! All of US bring you our support and love!
40 seconds. You were back on the bike and riding it within 40 seconds of the crash starting! I would have taken a few minutes to throw up/freak out/cry.......Respect! Very sorry to see this, glad that you are OK. I am confident that you'll use this as a valuable learning experience and become an EVER BETTER rider because of it. Always love your videos, keep up the great content.
I'm glad you showed what the rider said to you during your pit stop. It's why alot of riders go down!! First time I went down is due to me following another rider who was more skilled than me in turns. It never happened again tho 💪🏾😅
Take this from someone who's been riding for 20+ years. When you go down like that, don't just hop back on and go. There's absolutely no rush. Take a second to relax and calm your breathing down. You're only increasing the odds of crashing again. Glad you're ok.
Thanks for posting non-flattering reality. This type of honesty warns noobs with truth and humbles progressive riders who appreciate how even your elevated riding skills are not foolproof.
Painful to watch. Glad you and the bike are (relatively) fine. I had my first low side at the track last year. That feeling of seeing your bike slide away from you...Very distressing. Ride safe.
Dang, went quick mate. Love those OEM engine bars, I put them on my Gen 1 after seeing your earlier vids. To be able to pick it up, no oil pouring out a cracked case, whether your on a track or out in the wild by yourself, is such a win👍.
Brother, hold on! It's good that you're okay!Yes, this is a bike with sports roots, but the geometry is slightly different. So respect to you! You already beat a lot of fast guys. Return soon! Greetings from Ukrainian bikers
So sorry! Thank Goodness you’re ok! I had a similar experience around the same period. Thankfully I caught on camera. Bikes can always be fixed or replaced. Continue to shine bro.
I wish you all the best that you dont get traumatized from that crash and that your xr will be up and running again soon 👍 Thank you for sharing that with us! Great riding!
It’s inevitable this happens when you go track a lot.. so sorry to see bike hurt but your ok. Thanks for showing us the video hope you get it sorted. Can’t imagine the cost hope you had some protection.
Wow.... VERY interested to hear CR's revelation/analysis on just what happened. He had not jumped back on the throttle yet and was actually still slowing using engine braking, so the tires would have been nicely loaded. The lean angle wasn't severe, either. Although the video did not show any dark spots on the track, I am guessing (and hoping) it was oil or antifreeze on the track. As an S1000XR Track Day rider; this one is going to keep me awake for a few nights.
Track personnel will not allow a track to go hot if there are liquids on the track. Additionally, this was just not hanging off the bike enough. To much lean angle for the speed. We all go down at some point and the learnings that come from it pay in massive dividends.
@@Proto2o feeling the need to talk like you're having a conversation with yourself or someone else while you try to ride at 10/10 for your skill level is probably not advisable either.
I agree, I didn't notice any "mistakes" either. I'm betting cold tires had something to do with this. Unless he touched the controls somehow and we didn't see it on the video.
Ouch, been there. Sucks! I have a 16 XR which I really enjoy but I’ve never felt super confident in that front grip going hard. If I was positioned up over the frontend more and maybe some better cartridges? I feel way more confident on my S1k. Regardless I feel your pain
I don't normally laugh at these sort of things but the "let's see if I can borrow some lines" followed by an immediate slide is just too good not to chuckle at.
I did Inde a week after you did and I know that turn, super tricky; hurt my heart to see your XR slide out. Sorry brother, keep the faith and ride on, I’m happy you are okay.
I felt real bad for you Cuban, it was a shocker seeing you go down, i couldnt believe it, i was all set to comment about your riding being great again, i almost felt sick when your bike went down, dont know what to say it is what it is and im sure you will get the XR fixed up, as long as your ok and just a little dented pride you will handle it, see you on the next one buddy
"There's a fast guy let's see if we can borrow some lines" .......not to day son! 😂. Right place right gear lot or respect 🙏 still amazed not one swear word came sliding out after that.
Bro, I recently the same type of boo boo at ACS turn 6 first track day of the year. Just going to say that if there is a place to fall and screw up (ie learn), that's where you want to be. Te me cuidas hermano!
hey bro, in hope to help you understanding what happened, I've done a kind of same mistake and the answer to me is we can not change our riding style just in a second. We better think about it on sessions break and make a constant riding choice in one run 😊 cheers and have a good come back on track
Glad to hear you are OK. The bike can be fixed, didn't seem that much damage. I have been there before, so I believe I understand some of your feelings.
This is unfortunate, but the positive here is your reaction was great to tucking the front. Appears you did not tumble and stayed low. Reactions matter, even in a getoff. The machine is replaceable, so glad you’re ok!
Spent winter 2022 getting my bike all prepped. Repaired glass, painted, vinyl wrapped, and mechanically got it running like a top....only to dump her on my first track day of the year yesterday at Summit T3 on cold tires. I know the feeling. Glad you're okay.
Your videos are so positive and encouraging. Really sorry to see the off. It’s a good reminder to people like me (amateurs, hopefuls, people planning on future track days) that it does happen. Looking forward to seeing the XR back on track soon & glad there were no injuries.
That really sucks…started watching your videos cause of the S3 1200 RS. Heal up and keep them coming it could happen to anyone that is riding that fast!
The first thing, I hope you are well, the second, the damages are always material issues that are easy to solve. The important thing is that you continue to trust yourself and that you continue to have fun. It's easy to lose trust, but I'm sure you'll soon forget it. Good luck friend.
Man that sucks, I’m glad your up and walking right after the fall, last summer I went down like that on my mt10 with only 300km on it and I was not this lucky, bike was destroyed and I was badly hurt. I’m back on a new bike now taking it slowly. I’ll tell you what you do next, jump on the tuono and take that corner even faster without falling lol. Ride safe and keep doing what you love. God bless.
Hopefully all is well with you man!! I know it's hard to tell if you're hurt right away because of adrenaline. Thank you for sharing this it could help humble some riders and show the reality of riding because no matter the skill level accidents happen!! Hopefully the bike wasn't too bad and any parts you need aren't on backorder lol
@cubanrider great to see, you‘re okay. VERY IMPORTANT ADVICE: In case this ever happens again, don‘t start the engine immediately afterwards. Calm down, let the personnel bring the bike back to the pits and thoroughly check for damage first! If you‘ve got a cracked cover, you can crank metal bits through your engine without knowing or whatever. Keep up the cool content!
Puedo sentir el enfado solo escuchándote respirar. Esas cosas pasan tarde o temprano y es mas el aprendizaje que te llevas que el daño en sí. Me alegra ver que estas bien y que la "señora" solo tiene un par de arañazos. A recuperarse emocionalmente y a seguir adelante, es parte de este mundo. Un abrazo compañero
I did same thing on track on my Tuono last Nov. Started dragging right peg and then lost rear end. Bike slid exactly like yours and did not flip, but I was somersaulted after I hit grass and tweaked my shoulder after a fairly hard impact. Nothing broken but still is not right after 2.5 months but getting better. Not sure if I lifted the rear from too much pressure on peg or the rear just lost traction as I was way to the outside of somebody for a pass and off the line by a good bit. Only damage on my bike was rear pipe which was bent and engine cover and bar end. These were the only points of contact during the slide. I did not have frame sliders but my faring was not touched luckily. I spent about $1,600 on new pipe and "gabro" tune + GB racing covers for engine. I would have been replacing pipe down the road anyway as it was OEM. Bizarre/Sureal feeling to say the least to be at full lean one second and then riding the pavement the next! Glad you are OK
Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear about the shoulder. I messed up some tendon or something as well because it hurts at certain angles, but it's been almost a year since the incident so it's gotten better. I have a good buddy who had a crash similar to yours on his Tuono, T2 at COTA, so a fast one. Luckily he came out without a scratch and the bike wasn't too bad. And have another good buddy who crashes his new Tuono as well last year... not a good year for Tuonos it seems.
That hurts to watch. I took my XR to the track for the first time just a few days ago and I was really worried about crashing. Fortunately I didn’t and it was a great day but a guy passed me in a turn and then crashed in the next right in front of me. Glad that you were able to get up and ride off the track.
Sorry this happened to you. I have done the same type of mistake on track myself in the past (trying to follow a much faster guy in A group and making several mistakes trying to keep up before actually going down). It seems you are fine, bike should be ok (new pegs, handlebar, screen etc and straightened forks), hopefully you end up learning something useful from the crash as well. Keep you chin up!
idk if the mistake was follow a faster rider. This crash was weird. It looks like the mistake was a cold rear wheel in the early second season. He didnt have crazy lean angle or harsh in put. The rear just lost traction.
@@chetj1483 agreed the crash was weird, as you said no crazy lean angle or abrupt throttle input, but still the mistake could be mental in the sense of "I need to keep up with this guy", while the bike or the rider or both are not ready for it (for example the rider should have waited for tires to warm up etc)
I’ve seen this happen a few times when a guy with Ducati multistrada tries to keep up with guys on superbikes, first thing you need to keep in mind is if the guy on the super bike has a halfway decent rider even a really good rider on the multi-Strada he’s gonna have a tough time keeping up with that thing, and sooner or later, you see the crash coming and it comes fast. Gl ad your ok sir! Lesson learned hopefully!
Never mind Cuban. It will fix 👍🏻. I once crashed a R6 going into Redgate at Donnington Park at about 130mph. I watched it go through the kitty litter going end over end. All that was left was wheels frame and forks. This is the risk of fast track riding. As long as you are ok 👍🏻
So sorry you had that crash, man. It happens to the best of us. Hopefully you and the bike are ok. Same thing happened to me at Tail of the Dragon. Rode 10 hours to get there and dumped it in the wet.
Glad your ok and props to you for posting the video. Early in the season and temps at the tire edge is fickle, no one could have grabbed that it went way, way to fast. I always bring a second bike with me to the track just in case. Hope the damage is minimal
I chucked my brand new Street Triple R down the road going to work one morning in a similar low-side. Wasn't even going quickly at all (pulling away from red light making a left turn) and it felt like someone turned friction OFF for a moment.
This is how it should be done. On a track where only the brave ppl that knows how to drive are racing. Not on a public road by see me, hear me maniacs. Hats of and glad both of you did semi ok :)
That couldn’t have been a better off. Shame about the bike but you did great coming off and keeping your cool 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 props brother, she’ll be up and running in no time 🙏🏻
Thanks everyone for the overwhelming support. I usually reply to comments, but there's a ton of you this time around. I am okay, not a scratch, and the XR will be fixed eventually. I will make another video assessing the damage to the bike and talking a bit about what caused the incident.

do you know what happened? im sure you'll be talking about it in a later video.
You ride on the track, eventually this happens. Glad you’re ok.
Luckily it wasn't at the gap, would be a different vid.
Glad you are okay, parts can be replaced ❤
I can't imagine seeing my bike get thrown across the track like that. Respect to you for posting this raw.
Comes with the sport and is bound to happen. Bikes can be fixed, people less. Glad you are OK. Sad to see the XR down, but she still looks good. Take care out there.
True story 😢
I was all ACE , until I crashed...
Had to go for surgery on my right hand & my thumb got fused too ,
Now , when I ride track ... I'm slightly more cautious and just enjoying the day out
when u spend more time worried about vlogging than paying attention to the track its even more bound to happen!
@@stevenjackson5541 bro u drive a 400 not much limits to be pushed

When the bike is down is like you running to save a friend or a loved one
You don’t even see if you are ok
You just want the bike to go up and you want to see that it’s ok
Ride safe brother
❤
Well said.
Ditto !
Truly well said!
Do not get emotional about things 😂 you drop it, you fix it or buy new one...
When the bike goes down you lose your money 😁
Most importantly you didn’t get hurt.
It’s unfortunate though, luckily it can be fixed.
Keep up the great content!!

Glad you’re ok. Posting the good with the bad makes your videos more relatable. Thanks for sharing.

So sorry!
Thank Goodness you’re ok!
I had a similar experience around the same period. Thankfully I caught on camera. Bikes can always be fixed or replaced. Continue to shine bro.
Upgraded from 390 cc KTM to s1000xr and your channel was inspiring, sad to see, safe rides.
As crashes go, that was a good one-hope you get it back to better than before soon. I love that you love this bike as much as you do.
I wish you all the best that you dont get traumatized from that crash and that your xr will be up and running again soon 👍
Thank you for sharing that with us! Great riding!
Speedy recovery for you and the bike. Keep your sweet riding !
I'm glad that you are ok! All the love from Romania
Philosophical reflection: the moment you stopped riding your own ride and emulating you lost traction
and I'm glad youre okay dude
Brother, I’m so glad that you are ok. I always appreciate your vids because you are humble and authentic. It’s THOSE qualities that I want to embrace
Qué putada tío, al menos la caída fue limpia y parece que la moto no se jodió mucho, y lo más importante; tú estás bien. Ánimo compa!
Gutted for you Cuban 😢 The ones you can walk away from are at least some sort of positive. Stay safe man
It’s inevitable this happens when you go track a lot.. so sorry to see bike hurt but your ok. Thanks for showing us the video hope you get it sorted. Can’t imagine the cost hope you had some protection.
I'm really sorry, I hope everything is going well for you. For the xr even if it's always raging it's not the most important. Be well.

Man so sorry this happened !!! Glad you're OK though. The adrenaline is real !!! I could feel it thru the video !!!
Glad you're ok brother! And the XR is in the best hands to return better than ever.
Wow bro simply wow. I absolutely love how u reacted to that. Literally gained a follower in me. Cool, calm and collective. Glad you’re alright.
I don't normally laugh at these sort of things but the "let's see if I can borrow some lines" followed by an immediate slide is just too good not to chuckle at.
Glad you’re ok!!!When pushing it ,at some point it will happen..to all of us.Jump on the tuono asap to keep the mind sharp.Cheers
Man that was so sad too see, but the main thing you are ok the XR will be back and so looking forward too seeing it up and running take care buddy...
Damn man. Hope you're ok and the XR is fixable. Love watching you on that thing. Convinced me to get one.
I did Inde a week after you did and I know that turn, super tricky; hurt my heart to see your XR slide out. Sorry brother, keep the faith and ride on, I’m happy you are okay.

That is sad glad you're okay and the bike can be fixed. I'm always enjoying your videos.
Glad you're okay. Thanks for posting. Reminds us all about pushing to the limit. I've had an off at 65MPH full gear so no serious injuries.
Love Cuban hope all works out for you Tio! Great energy from you in that group ride we went on a couple of weeks ago!

That really sucks…started watching your videos cause of the S3 1200 RS. Heal up and keep them coming it could happen to anyone that is riding that fast!

VERY IMPORTANT ADVICE:
In case this ever happens again, don‘t start the engine immediately afterwards. Calm down, let the personnel bring the bike back to the pits and thoroughly check for damage first! If you‘ve got a cracked cover, you can crank metal bits through your engine without knowing or whatever.
Keep up the cool content!

Wish you the best! No big damage to the bike that's ok, easily fixable. You are ok what is more important.
Man! That hurt me. I hate to see that. At least your ok.
So sorry man. These things happen but at least you’re in one piece. No doubt you’ll fix the bike and be back to it. 👊
Any crash you can walk away from is a good one. Well, when I say "good" I mean, "much less worse than it could have been".
Not the XR. :( Hope you build her back better. This is the bike that inspired me to get one and to go with brentuning!

Not sure if I lifted the rear from too much pressure on peg or the rear just lost traction as I was way to the outside of somebody for a pass and off the line by a good bit. Only damage on my bike was rear pipe which was bent and engine cover and bar end. These were the only points of contact during the slide. I did not have frame sliders but my faring was not touched luckily. I spent about $1,600 on new pipe and "gabro" tune + GB racing covers for engine. I would have been replacing pipe down the road anyway as it was OEM.
Bizarre/Sureal feeling to say the least to be at full lean one second and then riding the pavement the next! Glad you are OK
Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear about the shoulder. I messed up some tendon or something as well because it hurts at certain angles, but it's been almost a year since the incident so it's gotten better. I have a good buddy who had a crash similar to yours on his Tuono, T2 at COTA, so a fast one. Luckily he came out without a scratch and the bike wasn't too bad. And have another good buddy who crashes his new Tuono as well last year... not a good year for Tuonos it seems.
You’re a great rider. Happens to the best of us
Shit happens! Me alegro que no fuese mucho y te deseo que te recuperes lo antes posible amigo! Animo desde España ❤❤
Damn! So sorry bro! I know how painful it is to watch something like this and to post it. Respect for keeping it together.
Oh man! So sorry to see this, same happed to in Donington Park in the uk with my S1000rr. Glad you are ok tho.
“Welp, that didn’t work out” Respect for you keeping your cool like that.
Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful bike and it doesn't look super bad.
I'm happy you're okay
Glad you are ok! That wasn’t bad at all, just a day in the office, looking forward to riding soon!
That hurts to watch. I took my XR to the track for the first time just a few days ago and I was really worried about crashing. Fortunately I didn’t and it was a great day but a guy passed me in a turn and then crashed in the next right in front of me. Glad that you were able to get up and ride off the track.
Did I hear the scraping start a split second before the tires went and started low siding?
I had a near identical lowside at Willow Springs.
Espero estés bien amigo. Animo! Parece que no tiene daños graves la moto. Un abrazo cuídate.
Sorry this happened to you. I have done the same type of mistake on track myself in the past (trying to follow a much faster guy in A group and making several mistakes trying to keep up before actually going down). It seems you are fine, bike should be ok (new pegs, handlebar, screen etc and straightened forks), hopefully you end up learning something useful from the crash as well. Keep you chin up!
idk if the mistake was follow a faster rider. This crash was weird.
It looks like the mistake was a cold rear wheel in the early second season.
He didnt have crazy lean angle or harsh in put. The rear just lost traction.
@@chetj1483 agreed the crash was weird, as you said no crazy lean angle or abrupt throttle input, but still the mistake could be mental in the sense of "I need to keep up with this guy", while the bike or the rider or both are not ready for it (for example the rider should have waited for tires to warm up etc)
@@apantelop i think it was more like a mistake for getting distracted by thinking and mainly talking
@@chetj1483 that was my first thought as well. im sure we will get a video about it soon.
@@chetj1483 I think he had maintenance throttle on a turn, when he should be slightly accelerating
I’ve seen this happen a few times when a guy with Ducati multistrada tries to keep up with guys on superbikes, first thing you need to keep in mind is if the guy on the super bike has a halfway decent rider even a really good rider on the multi-Strada he’s gonna have a tough time keeping up with that thing, and sooner or later, you see the crash coming and it comes fast. Gl ad your ok sir! Lesson learned hopefully!
Never mind Cuban. It will fix 👍🏻. I once crashed a R6 going into Redgate at Donnington Park at about 130mph. I watched it go through the kitty litter going end over end. All that was left was wheels frame and forks. This is the risk of fast track riding. As long as you are ok 👍🏻
Glad your Ok. Your calm is noteworthy and a mark of your character.
So sorry you had that crash, man. It happens to the best of us. Hopefully you and the bike are ok. Same thing happened to me at Tail of the Dragon. Rode 10 hours to get there and dumped it in the wet.
I'm glad you're okay, and thanks for showing the sometimes humbling reality of this sport.
That feels bad mahn, hope you're all good and that the bike didn't get to much damage.
Glad your ok and props to you for posting the video. Early in the season and temps at the tire edge is fickle, no one could have grabbed that it went way, way to fast. I always bring a second bike with me to the track just in case. Hope the damage is minimal
Is that why I take two Track Tuono's a Gen1 n a Gen3 ? lol
I chucked my brand new Street Triple R down the road going to work one morning in a similar low-side. Wasn't even going quickly at all (pulling away from red light making a left turn) and it felt like someone turned friction OFF for a moment.
knee down to you for uploading this video and the angles you can achieve with such an upright bike.
man ,
i could hear the sadness in that heavy breathing ...
but good to see you up and running after the crash bro ...
Glad to see your alright man!
So glad you are OK 💪 A lowside is way better than a high side!
Glad you are okay man, that is what is important!
This is how it should be done. On a track where only the brave ppl that knows how to drive are racing. Not on a public road by see me, hear me maniacs. Hats of and glad both of you did semi ok :)
Good you've no injuries. Be happy anyway ☺️ I know exactly the feeling ... 😂 from several high-speed "events" while racing competitions ...
That couldn’t have been a better off. Shame about the bike but you did great coming off and keeping your cool 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 props brother, she’ll be up and running in no time 🙏🏻
