I was expecting the vette to pull both the 430 and the viper a little harder than that. If that viper is stock then it should be about as fast as that vette was when it was stock and the vette with the procharger somewhat slowly pulled away.. I was expecting it to destroy that viper and it really didnt.

Good point, you can see the helmet just sitting on the bike. Probably a friend or something in the evo.

Yeah no, that bike defiantly went down. Theres a chunk of it sitting off to the left of it. You can tell because its Reposol orange. That and the tail is cracked and there is a nice dent in the rear rim. He went down for sure but is probably okay.

That and use your brain guys, why would you lay a 10k bike on its side like that...

Heres part of the story (translated)
Indeed, apparently everything happened when the conductor of the motorcycle put itself to persecute to the Lancer, in a species of “competition” among them, in the heat of Reconciled Liberating of Kiev. As usually it happens in these cases, the minimum error only makes lack to finish destroyed, and that happened when they tried to avoid one of the cars of the reconciled concurred one, lost the control and the others were inevitable

looked like a cone off to the side to me. Did not notice the rim untill you mentioned it. Why would someone lay a 10k bike on its side? because like I said it might have been a friend or family. Plus its a cheap bike who cares if it gets a little scratched a life is worth alot more than any bike out there.

well i did not look into it that much it just looked like the bike was set down because of no drag marks from the pegs or bars or anything. Plus the bike looks good except for the rear rim that you pointed out and it even has the helmet sitting on there.

And to say use your brains? Trust me you do whatever you can to help out a buddy when an accident happens. Dropping that bike on its side would not even bother me the slightest bit when someone needs help.

Yes I agree a life is worth alot more but that bike went down. I know I wouldn't just just off my bike in the middle of traffic and lay my bike down. That and if he was in sucha hurry to get to his friend/whatever he'd drop his 10k bike on its side but lay his 200$ helmet on top of it like that? Sorry just doesn't make sense.

Like said yes I'd do everything possible to help them out but look at it. I'ma drop my bike on its side but neatly place my helmet on top of it. That bike went down. From the chuck of Reposol orange/white fairing off to the left to the dent in the rear rim to the cracked tail from going down. No doubt about it so it doesn't matter.

BTW like I said I'd do anything to help my friend out but I wouldn't just stop and drop my bike in the middle of traffic like that.

Ok, how many times are you going to repeat the same sentence in one post?

Use your brains, did you ever think that the cops said "leave the ****** bike there until we get the crash reconstruction fools out here?"

Because that couldn't possibly be the case or anything...I'm sure the helmet gets awfully uncomfortable when your head is swelling up inside of it because you just clicked your head off the ground a few times from laying the bike down.

Use your brains! Sheesh!

Oh yeah, there was a video too! Sick Vette!
