Good story! We should meet up sometime to discuss this further. You know, for fun.

I’d rather tell you about the time I didn’t get caught.

In Britain if you sue and lose you pay the defendant’s legal fees, does a great job of filtering out the bullshit lawsuits.

Yep.

Which is why you don’t take a 200 hp monster of a bike to a track until you know what you’re doing.

The fact they allowed him to ride after he missed the riders’ meeting exposes them to MORE liability, not less.

Seriously. If I had to guess, I’d say that 1199 was his first bike. Bad choice.

You can have a ditch from erosion or a sandbag in the runoff area. That is what you choose when running Laguna Seca. Don’t like it? Don’t go off track or maybe the local go kart track is more your style. Don’t ruin this for the rest of us. Tracks are already having a hard enough time surviving on their own without…

Guy takes bike to track day.

Fuck this guy

I think he gave up to early on his line. If he had held it longer he probably would have made the corner. I think he realized he was going to be close, freaked out, and began target fixation. He should he leaned more.

I don’t feel for him at all. He’s a terrible rider and should never get on a bike again.

Signed the waiver, but missed the riders meeting. Sorry, shouldn’t have been allowed on track. The meetings are done for a reason. Used to race, now a motorsports photographer. Sign waivers all the time, but if I miss the photographers safety briefing I don’t get to shoot...

Signed the waiver and missed the rider’s meeting. Sorry you broke your legs dude, but its own your fault for crashing. It’s like hitting a light pole and suing the city for it being there, at least as I see it.

Not seeing much evasive action...I’m seeing a lot of taking a corner too hot, dumping, instant regret, and then dollar signs. I’m going to guess this guy’s medical expenses and disability are nowhere near 15 million, that figure is probably more aligned with the amount of capital his startup needs....accidents suck…

What an asshole. This wasn’t negligence, what’s next, suing the track because every inch of runoff isn’t covered by big fluffy pillows?

Classic motorcyclist mentality. Buy incredibly dangerous mode of transportation. Participate in even more dangerous activity. Ride beyond their ability. Crash and get hurt and it’s everyone else’s fault.

These are the same guys lay down their bike in the rain on the highway then moan about how their insurance company…

He broke his legs. That sucks. The sandbags shouldn’t have been in the runoff area where people are likely to go off track.

Good way to be banned from all track day events, ever.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
