I think I know right where that is. There's a bunch of photographers that set up in that corner every weekend and hawk photos on the interwebz. So many accidents happen there because people get distracted. It's the same place that 955i with the gearless girl on the back went down, if you remember that photo.

Don't remember, but I'd love to see it.

I've been working on the "too much rear brake" I tell ya, for me, its a chore and I always have to chant "front brake, front brake, front brake" while I'm riding It is especially obvious in the rain.

Is that a Speed Triple ?


Oops nevermind...doesn't look like a single sided swingarm after further review.

Not so sure how it would transition to your Victory because I've never rode one, but on a sport bike... I don't use the rear brake AT ALL. Unless of course it's low, low speed turning or on gravel.

Yeah I edited my post because it doesn't look like a single sided swingarm.

The reason for asking is I was gonna send the link to a friend that just bought one. The reason ? He went in to and over a guardrail on his black R6.

I laugh because he's ok and now has another bike.
