French Motorcycle Crash Leads to Hilarious Twirling Wreckage

Jun. 24, 2011 12:18pm Jonathon M. Seidl

Crashes are not usually funny. This one is.

A couple riders last weekend participating in the fourth round of the 2011 Promosport Championship at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours took a spill while rounding a corner. As they tumbled, their bikes went sliding, eventually becoming entangled with stuck throttles. That led to a merry-go-round of wreckage and plenty of laughs as the riders tried to figure out how to separate the twirling cycles:

For the record, the motorcycles ended up doing over 100 donuts.

Anyone read the crawler that was running during the spinning motorcycle video. Check it out. Don’t vote for a Mormon. What say you Harry Reid?

“For the record, the motorcycles ended up doing over 100 donuts.”
I counted 16 donuts. Did someone from the Obama administration do the counting? It’s obviously someone who has learned the new “swirling math” being taught at many of our nation’s public schools.
Are those really French riders? I would have thought the French riders would have waited for someone else to come to the rescue. Wouldn’t they have been afraid of confrontation? Or is it only confrontation with Germans on motorcycles?

I once saw footage of the START of a superbike race. You might know that they tend to start not two or even three abreast, but 4, 5, or even 6 abreast in staggered formation. Diving into the first turn (right-hander), the right side handlebar of a rider in the back of the pack got jammed up under the rear fairing of a rider in front. Anyone here who rides a motorcycle should be able to write the rest of this for themselves.

Motorcycle brakes are separate systems, front and rear. The rear brake is controlled by the right foot, while the front brake is on… the right handlebar. When the handlebar got jammed under the rear fairing, it jammed the rear rider’s front brakes hard. The rear rider’s front wheel locked up and he did an immediate endo (front end-over-end tumble) into the outside of the turn.

Luckily no one else got involved and no one was seriously injured, not even him. The bike whose fairing he used for that maneuver continued the race with no ramifications from that start.

A full 100 donuts? Are they talking about breakfast, or is that liberal morning joeblob math? I counted 16, and if you count each bike, that’s still only 32.

A long time ago this happened to me with my wife on the back. We hit some dirt leaning into a turn and round we went. I got a beating for it.

  My tally is also 16. I think those commentators aren’t verifying the “facts” that they’re given.

  Yes, but actually counting them is harder and makes less of a story than just saying “more than 100.” Also, I counted 32 (since there were two bikes…)

The video you are trying to watch is currently unavailable. Please check back soon.

This is getting old…… if it ever does come back up, will I be misdirected or have to watch a 16-second commercial that, when completed, fails to provide the video?

  Expensive motorcycles going around a track. One falls, causing another to fall. Their handlebars get interlocked. Throttles of both are stuck in warp speed. Bikes spin around and around while two men dressed like teletubbies dance around pointing and yelling.
  
  A thrilling moment in sports history.

  Sounds like one of those whirling dervish sparklers we buy for July 4th, only bigger… and worth more than 0.5 cents apiece.
  
  Gives a whole new meaning to someone being “wrapped around the axle.”

  Did anyone mention that representative Cantor threw a tantrum and pout-ily walked out on debt reduction negotiations yesterday – a lack of faith gesture, that could cause the American economy to CRASH like this MOTORCYCLE and literally have the FRENCH Come OUT ON TOP of our wreckage?

  Did anyone mention that the DEMOCRATS proposed New Taxes, Higher current Taxes, instead of eliminating redundant programs, ACORN based theft programs, no DEMOCRAT BUDGET for over 600 DAYS? Did anyone mention that Barry referred to the first soldier that he gave the Congressional Medal Of Honor to postumously, as returning from combat alive. To the slain soldiers own unit? Barry is a buffoon
