I guess everyone noticed it was our favorite type of bike also, chit happens and the pool keeps growing in space by absentee's of crotch rocket riders.

 

@Rockytop...... Where in east TN are you? I am in Johnson City.

 

You just don't lose a shoe that fast without having foot or ankle damage. ow.

 

The bike wasn't even leaned over. In fact, it doesn't even look like he was working on making his bike go through the curve.

Just trying to guess here, but it was either target fixation and he hit what he was looking at or maybe he came in too hot and hit the brakes hard enough to slow down and straighten up the bike but not break the tires loose for a low side.

 

Any way you look at it----OUCH!!!!! Poor bastard.

 

You're kiddin', right? Have you ever been on a mountain road? There are no plastic barriers to soften your impact when you go off the low side. The bike is entirely in the wrong lane at the moment of impact.

 

Nasty!

 

The car could have moved a little but even at 25 mph on a corner you are watching the road not oncoming traffic, hope he's ok, I would like to say he did not know how to ride but I just got back from the Dragon in Sept. and did cross the yellow once being a little to aggressive. I was embarressed maybe he was just unlucky.

 

Sorry to see these things happen stay safe out there Guys..

 

C'mon,

Tennis shoes while riding the Dragon!!!!!

I've been there and read about it prior to going,

Had all my safety gear on,

This dude obviously had a lack of riding skills compounded by stupidity in attire,
