I hate to be the one to bring it up . . . but it ain't the bike
Well I see the problem, it was those huge ass bar ends that fucked him up.

That reminds me, have you tried "Virtual Earth" yet? It does 3d mapping, etc. It's pretty cool although I think that GE has a few more features.

You caused a guy to crash a GSXR1000 riding a 250 4 stroke? Well obviously your friends suck at riding! I mean really what a turd! What was he thinking about his next double cheese burger and ran off the road? Jesus talk about a non-curve!

I don't really need the 3d mapping but what I do need is the ability to place objects at any given lat/long and elevation. What I do is create the map objects to test that the displays are displaying the correct symbols in the correct location. Since I'm not actually flying the plane, I have to simulate the data that the displays use for identifiers(waypoints, navaids, contacts, geometries.....).

Well . . I was riding my KLR650 at the time. Brakes are horrible on that thing. It's the green monster in the 2nd picture.

Same knobbies as I'm running now, though.

Believe it or not, the 250 runs the twisties better than the KLR650 did.

And yeah . . . he sucked

The GSXR rider isn't in any of the pictures. He was still layed out in the ditch. He was a skinny dude. The bigger guys pushing his bike didn't have any problems.

Well here's something we can agree on! I mean judging by the lack of damage to his bike, he couldn't have been doing over what 40, maybe 50 mph? I can't see the entire curve but that got to be 80+ curve at least, right?
