Throttle happy RSV Mille rider bins it at the TT on Mad Sunday this year

Oh dear. Target fixation anyone?. He could have got out of that by just cranking it over more but I guess that didn't cross his mind. Guy in front locks up on the exit from the corner, Mille rider runs wide to avoid stuffing it into him. He could have just cranked over a bit more and dived under the guy in front. Split second decision, granted - but he made the wrong one. As far as I know the bloke was ok. No one is owning up to owning YM03 EPX over on the RSV forums.

I thought you'd gone insane when I heard the inline 4 soundtrack and saw the clocks.. until the RSV guy went past! RSV-R as well

... such a waste.

The guy with the camera was lucky not to collect the mille as it slides across the road.

9/10 for the rolling stoppie.

The Aprilia rider was a prat along with another Aprilia rider who binned an RSV4 this year.

If you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVUJalqCJRc&feature=channel (the aftermath of another IOM TT 2010 crash), you'll see the crashed RSV parked up at the recovery centre. The comments on youtube suggest the riders of both bikes were in adjacent hospital beds.

Interesting quote from the Mille riders video:

"This Mad Sunday was the best on record - only 8 crashes compared with 23 last year. I`m a paramedic & was teamed up with a Traffic Officer for the day, we had the most chilled Mad Sunday I`ve ever known (this was my 34th). The Police are doing a great job with their `biker calming measures` & it keeps the locals a bit safer too........"

That stoppie is excellent

brilliant stoppie but i fail to see what he intended bar that as he wasn't going quick not to make the corner lol. try anyway and if you crash trying you did good as opposed to crashing while not trying lol.

Looks like he really doesn't like Suzukis
