211 in Virginia takes down the Slimer
 

Pretty painful seeing my buddy on the ground like that. He's ok, though:

:eek: Damn that's a super bummer

Glad he's okay though. Good news is that those nose cones for the ZX-6r are usually pretty cheap.

Hope everything gets back together

was that a week day morning? every time I go out there there's a cop on either end and at the top.

looks like an awesome ride, bummer about your bud, im glad he's ok though.

dude, if I lived in Warrenton like you I'd be there 24/7. It was Monday late afternoon. Usually pretty quiet up there on the weekdays. Luckily I'm self-employed and he has Mondays off so we usually ride on Mondays.

Man that road looks awesome. What is the speed limit on that road? It seemed like you were going super slow or your friend was going really fast.

damn. If you are in VA you should also check out toasttogo's channel. He is in williamsburg on a VFR.

I'd be playing on 33 instead of 211 myself. :)

Glad your buddy's ok.

Agreed, the road looks awesome, but the speed limit sign I saw said 35. I got a ticket last December on a twisty road for 65 in a 35 = $476 + 1 point (traffic school not allowed, more than 25 over the limit).

The road appeared a little damp/wet in some areas, and what's with all the white paint across the lane?:shock:... especially at a corner exit where I'd be on the gas hard. Combined, I'd say it was an accident waiting to happen. My guess is the rear tire stepped out on some damp pavement, then he rolled off the throttle and high sided. On second viewing, he could have just slid sideways into the guardrail then bounced off it. Did he detail what happened? I'm sure he had plenty of time to think about it and analyze it as it was happening.;)

I think you were wise in taking it easy. Come back on a dry, sunny day to step it up a little.

Glad your friend was okay. Yet another testimonial for full face helmets. A Harley rider wearing a "peanut shell" would be making a trip to the oral surgeon, at the least.

No they wouldn't. they go too slow to make a difference. :D

Noice!

I visited your youtube channel ( I am guessing its yours) and you talk in one of your videos about mounting a camera to your helmet, but, you dont mention what kind of camera it is.
I say this because I would like to video as well. Partly because I want to show the roads and the idiots on it.
I also have the sense that The camera may be the only witness to my demise by a cager, and I will have video proof.
What camera is it?

I must've seen a dozen sport bikes stuffed into railings on that road, always east-side downhill. Great road but apparently easy to make a mistake on. I've ridden bicycles up and down in dozens of times.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a GoPro camera. Or maybe even a GoPro HD. Check them out.
