MY CHANNEL: Welcome to my channel. My name is Viet and I am a motorcycle enthusiast, track rider, and world traveler. I'm based out of the United States (Texas) and I have a deep passion for all things on 2-wheels. Come and follow me on my channel to see some truly unique motorcycles and motorcycle-experiences in the United States and around the world. If you like my videos, please SUBSCRIBE. Leave a comment as well to help me know if you enjoyed the content or have any suggestions. I'm eager to share my adventures with you all, thank you!
Glad it wasn't worse, and I'm glad the frame sliders worked for you. I think thats a testament to how thorough Kramer and KTM are with their R&D. And yeah, I've never seen a reservoir cap spin off like that. I just went out to the garage and checked all of mine.
Thanks so much! I checked my R6 and it has this little aluminum stopper above the reservoir cap, surprisingly that isn't on the RC/Kramer bikes. Regardless, definitely safety wiring it down going forward. Hope you're having a great riding season!
Unluck bro, thats why u need to check the bike over after each session…
Agreed, thanks man!
Glad you are mostly okay; the bike can be fixed. I hope you washed off the brake fluid as soon as possible.
Thanks Kevin! Yeah...we did not wash the brake fluid off too quickly. Uh oh...I'll go message Peter (he has the bike right now). DOH!
Glad you are OK and the bike surprisingly is not that much damaged. I would even not replace but maybe try to repair and repaint the wing, but that's just because I do quite a bit carbon repairs for my windsurfing kit, so that's not new to me. Again glad that you are OK. Yeah that needs to be counted in - that it's not "if" but rather "when"... Take care !
thanks so much! You're right, I think just a little bit of repairs/repaint and the wing will look great. Not a big deal. I'm surprised at how strong it is!
Glad your OK. This bike was designed as a dedicated track bike. Track bikes get crashed pushing the limits. A few battle scars just means you used it the way it was supposed to be used. Buying a track day bike just to let it collect dust on display somewhere makes no sense to me, fix what needs to be fixed and ride the wheels off it!😊
Well, that sucks but glad you're safe and I'm happy the bike wasn't damaged too badly.
Thanks so much, yeah totally lucked out with the slide and the crash protection did a great job. She's definitely not a showbike/garage queen I'll tell you that! :D
I had those fancy PowerParts ALU rear break caps on my Superduke 1290 SE from factory, and after loosing 2 of those, I just glued them to the plastic reservoir 🙂
KTM knows how to make amazing race vehicles fr
You were on the brakes right on that seam on diamond edge. You can’t do that. You have to be very careful at that track. It’s very easy to lose the front there. Same with sugar and spice. There’s a similar seam.
Glad you're not injure and hopefully your bike can be fixed
Thank you! Appreciate it and yeah, the damage is minimal so we will be back to racing soon!
man it's the littlest things that cause the most damage. Glad you are ok. I am riding on Saturday so I will make sure to go through a checklist that includes the rear brake system. This is one area I noticed tech inspection never looks at, so I will look at it myself. I've seen some pilots remove the reservoir and cap it off with a tube. May be this something I want to do on my S1000rr. I am rebuilding a track 848. So that one I will replace the reservoir.
Thanks man, appreciate it. Yeah some bikes you can do a whole rear brake reservoir delete and it just has a tube essentially. My R6 rear brake lid has an aluminum stopper that prevents the cap from just falling off. I’ll be safety wiring the RC8C reservoir going forward. Have a great ride on Saturday!
You got super lucky and i’m glad your OK, that’s all that really matters.
Thank you 🙏
Someone forgot to secure their reservoir cap last time they put fluid in
We’re safety wiring it going forward that’s for sure!
Shit happens! At least you’re actually using the bike for its intended purpose! Did you get this from Wild West Motoplex by chance??
The boys back at Kramer must be happy that you're putting it through it's paces.... thanks for sharing
thank you!! :D now if only I can get the CMRA to let me race in more classes! (currently limited to 2 classes: Formula 1 and heavyweight twins)
@@vtranmoto Haven't they recognized what WorldSBK is doing? If the panigale V2 can race, surely the RC8C can.
@@SONO4B11T that is EXACTLY my case that I've made but no. :( They refuse because of production #s. I just petitioned again last week, so we will see where that goes. The bike is a great supersport competitor and it just makes the class/races more fun to see a variety of bikes out there, not just the same Japanese 600s/750s over and over again!
@@vtranmoto Alright man, good luck!
HOLY CRAP! literally an hour ago the CMRA race director just messaged me and said I can race Superbike A (1000cc+) and B (750cc+) classes! :D:D:D:D still a huge disadvantage powerwise for the RC8C, BUT we have a huge advantage agility wise. FOUR Classes now! :D
Happened to me once but not on track i was on rc390 and on a corner my bike slide off
Wonder how did it happen
glad you're ok...
thank you!!!
Man bro, 😢 to see this video post! If you can’t take better care of my baby, I’ll have to come get her and bring her home to my place 😂
Seriously though, best crash you could have asked for. Easy low-side, protection did its job, and your GoPro never stopped! I’m glad you posted this and that your safe. We all know it’s bound to happen, and we pray it’s just “not today” but you got one and walked away!
I watched a few times, can’t see your brake hand/lever or anything really so I don’t know what caused it, I assume too much speed for that quick of a lean angle and front just slid out. Wife did the same on her 790 Duke. Easy repairs! I’m glad your safe bro! Keep pushing, from what I understand, after any crash it’s a little harder to come back for a bit at least until you get back in the mode!
Edit: that’s still the most amazing sexy bike ever produced and I’m an Aprilia guy… oh please KTM make more!!!!
HA! good one good one sir.
Yeah, I'm really glad the camera was rolling, I can never tell if the mic is working as well. Was glad we could go through that together hahaha.
I think if I can download the data from the AIM system we will know if its on brake or on throttle when the lowside happened. I need to get off my butt re: data. Its all there.
Easy repairs indeed, we actually just used a spare R6 Vortex clipon I have to replace the bent one. Other parts should be arriving in a week or so, in time for the next race.
How's your track season looking so far? Are ya'll able to ride lately?
@@vtranmoto that’s good news! I was going to ask what clipons your using (ordered)? I just put aftermarket ones on my bike and they are really low and almost hit the fairings. I’ve adjusted them so they fit though, but I’m thinking I might get woodcraft 1.5” or 2” risers to get back to the factory height and without 10 degrees slope, because that has me way down. It’s okay, but… the KTM has 51mm forks as well I believe so whatever you use should work for mine!
I have got some track time in. VIR for California super bike school few weeks ago (May 1st), and in 2 weeks I’ll be at CMP with TDW for a single day. Then we leave 1 July for Germany, and then Mugello for 3 days with Troy Corser in that amazing European Racing School. I’m looking forward to seeing what style they teach (different from the US instructors). Example: they teach really hanging off the bike, and US instructors yell at me for hanging off too much (saying it’s not needed). Up on the tank versus back away from it, and so on…
@@ryanlowe2808 I'm not sure which clipons I have on the RC, I will check tomorrow when I go see the bike (It's at Peter's atm as we prep it for the next race weekend).
Sounds like you are about to have an *amazing* trip. Have a wonderful time Ryan! Looking forward to hearing how it goes. I think its going to be eye opening and just an overall incredible experience, enjoy!!!
@@vtranmoto thanks bro! I’ll bring the GoPro and post some videos to my channel when we return. Just started using the GoPro so I’m new to it and almost all the footage I took at CSS/VIR was not useable lol.
Its nothing..this is KTM ! Best bikes on world !
Sucks to crash due to a mechanical 🤬 At least you stayed out of the gravel. My last crash on the RC cost a bit more 🙃
Funny enough we don’t have gravel here, just a SWAMP lololol I definitely got lucky😅
Glad you are uninjured. That's unfortunate with the brake fluid spilling causing the crash. Good thing the bike held up extremely well. I guess the slimness of parallel twin really doesn't expose much in a crash like this. By the way, is this a private race track? I was wondering why no control rider or corner worker rushed to help out at the crash scene.
Thank you! The safety gear and the bike protection did their jobs well. Most Texas tracks have private membership available, so you're able to ride most days of the week without having to share the track with 20-30+ other riders. Its great for practice. It was definitely new to me when I moved here. On the West Coast, the only way to ride track was through a trackday provider.
Pros: clear track pretty much all of the time
Cons: it gets a little lonely sometimes and also you don't have the benefit of a fully staffed track (control riders, only 1 flag at the start/stop, and no ambulance on the premise...yikes)
Weren’t you just talking about riding your R6 too? Jk man, I just glad that you’re good and the bike is fairly okay
HA! I did ride R6 in the morning sessions that day...I was filming a whole R6 vs RC8C thing and then this happened...bike is fine, she's not a beauty/garage queen that's for sure!
@@vtranmoto I hope that you release the R6 vs RC8C video anyways. Inquiring minds want to know!
so for a novice to understand - what exactly happened?
Everybody take his reaction as an example- stay positive. Keep your self together. This is the sport.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I went back to review footage and I think while it was suspicious that the rear brake reservoir was gone, I don’t like the idea of blaming equipment/the machine. The takeaway for me was that I began apply throttle while at maximum lean (for me) but did not reduce lean angle. It’s like a see-saw, the more gas you apply, the more lean angle you have to reduce by standing up the bike. So that’s the lesson that I took away from the lowside, luckily it was an easy fix and we’ve been able to improve and continue racing the bike!
One more month till the final round of the season. :)
you should clean up any brake fluid spills quickly! that stuff will eat up painted surfaces! Nice bike! Keep the rubber side down!
Good call!!!
It is not more flammable than engine oil, you didn't google that first did you?
Probably going too slow for the airbag
Sir, you need a full time mechanic.
Yessir, his name is Peter, best mechanic in the region 👍
😭
😭😭😭 I know >.
😧😧😧😧😧
This is a tragedy
😭😭😭😭😭 she's definitely got some battlescars now!
Okay first off I’m really glad you are uninjured, minus a few scrapes and bruises. Out of the original 100 units sold you are probably one of the few on the regular actually putting it through it’s courses, honoring the intended use of being a freaking bad@$$ race bike! In my book that makes you not only awesome but one of the most deserved owners of a very special motorcycle. Also you’ll most certainly sort it out. With your airbag thought you had said it didn’t go off on the initial impact, but on the first roll. Maybe boosting the sensitivity is possible so it deploys sooner. That said it would’ve probably gone off on a high side, and maybe that’s the way it’s designed to not go off on a low sides right away.. just speculating. Always enjoy your positivity, it’s quite admirable. Okay get well and hope to see your analysis soon.
Thanks Dukie, really appreciate it and always great to hear from you!
@@vtranmoto I missed that part about your air vest not deploying on initial impact! Wow! I’m interested to hear more on that, if it’s the settings or something else? Hopefully it’s not the custom suit somehow not jiving with the Alpinestars vest? Assuming it’s Astars tech air?
@@ryanlowe2808 I haven't had a chance to play with the vest much, BUT the vest algorithm takes into consideration all sorts of telemetry. I actually think because I was fully leaned over, the drop was very low like..literally 6"-12" off the ground maximum, so the airbag might have interpreted it as unnecessary to deploy since I was mostly just sliding (in fact, it would be preferred to not deploy in that scenario), it wasn't until I started rolling/twisting that the vest deployed (which makes sense).
The only other experience I've had with an airbag that did deploy was a tether based system (Hit-Air Vest, way back in 2015) when I got tossed into the air at 120mph. The tether system worked remarkably well because its a physical harness and as soon as it snapped, the airbag deployed and my head never touched the ground (I'm pretty sure it saved my life).
Glad it wasn’t worse. You got up pretty quick. The suit did it’s job and the bike doesn’t look that bad. She’s yours; y’all got a history now.
thanks man :)
Very beautiful bike…surprisingly very little damage done. Just found your channel. Looking forward to seeing more. Glad you’re ok.
Thanks Daniel! Appreciate you watching the vid and leaving a comment. Should be a pretty exciting year of riding 😁
Well, the super rare motorcycle is a track weapon and is being used as such. Crashing is a part of that. Glad you are okay. On to the next one. Preferably on a different bike and also uninjured but regardless the next one.
Exactly! Onto the next. I don't like to linger on crashes, just gotta move on. Its all part of the sport.
I hope you and the bike will be 100% recovered and up and running soon
thanks Goratch!!! I'm fine now, bike will be in running shape very soon. Next race is in 10-11 days!
Hey friend, okay to use it? Full credits will be given to you, of course, thank you!
Time for a new bike. I'll take this one off your hands.
All yours, you know that! ❤️
Glad your okay, the bike overall looks great. Everything did its job, all the bike protection and most importantly your personal safety gear!
Thank you, yeah the safety gear did its thing. Glad it wasn't worse. :)
NO! Diamond's Edge curb got you? Ooo No Vietttt. 💚Glad you are okay! Ohhh...nvm...fluid got you instead! Well the condition of this bike after that slide is remarkable.
Thank you thank you 🙏
glad you are ok! but now you can push even harder! 👊✊💨💨
Heck yeah!!! Race is next weekend :D they just approved the RC8C for two additional classes: 750cc superbike and 1000cc superbike!
Noooooooo! I had no idea you crashed her! Damn you Diamond's Edge! Well, I'm glad you're ok and wasted no time getting back on 2 wheels. Nice seeing you out at SS on Sunday 🙂👍
Thanks man!! Great seeing ya as well. Just took Saturday off to be sore and achey, it was nice to just ride on Sunday and put the crash behind me 👍
I am curious how difficult it will be to get replacement parts - this is always a concern with rare bikes - I am sure it will work out, just curious how long it will take......in addition to your initial assessment it looks like maybe part of the exhaust was damaged and the right bar was bent and the end of the RCS brake lever as well. Anything else after you took the fairings off? I see you just posted this so if you get a chance make sure to rinse all that brake fluid off the bike.
Good question! So I'm able to get parts from KTM and/or Kramer. All the Bodywork/fairings and engine stuff I just get from KTM like any other KTM part.
- Windshield (KTM, though its super backordered, no ETA. Will just use clear ducttape for now)
- Brake lever guard (KTM, but they want $396 PER lever guard, so I ordered Kramer guard for $121)
- Foot pegs (Kramer)
- Fork slider and frame slider (Kramer)
- Exhaust pipe (KTM, backordered)
- Carbon fiber wings (KTM, backordered)
- Reservoir (KTM
@@vtranmoto I appreciate the response and will be interested to see how it turns out. I have a few rare motorcycles and find your experience to be par for the course, that being said, I hope your parts are replaced sooner that later. Keep us updated. I'm certain many potential buyer in future products of limited production would factor replacement parts availability into their purchase.
@@vtranmoto any updates on the backordered parts? I actually got a call from KTM today 7.6.2022 turns out I was buyer # 101 - they are getting me a bike! :-)
@@BrianEvansracer that’s so exciting!!! For the clipons and rearset bits I was easily able to get them from Joe Karvonen/Kramer USA. For the ktm bodywork, they are backordered for monnnnthssss. CONGRATS though! That’s extremely exciting. Join our RC8C owner’s group: facebook.com/groups/210258747695771/?ref=share
Were you one of the lucky ones to get one that was already banged up from shipping and have spares of several pieces? Haha!
Haha definitely not, but I was one of the lucky 25 to fly to Jerez, meet the KTM and Kramer teams, and ride with Dani Pedrosa. :)
@@vtranmoto that’s pretty lucky! Kramer really has their stuff together. I ordered an open hub bolt to use a TRS and they were very responsive. I had my part in a few days. Hopefully you get everything you need to get yours back up and running pretty quickly.
I’m glad you alright but bro how shitty is this track 😂
It is quite literally the worst track I’ve ever ridden in the world and it turns out to be my home track when I moved to Texas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should really get out of the way when you crash like that. You’re sitting right there in the crash zone. You’re making everybody slow down. Walk off the track or pick up your bike and move it. That’s the courtesy move . Just standing there like that they should red flag it. That’s not very smart.
Best corner to go down in..slower speed..no wall
yes, definitely!!! thanks :D
At least you use the bike where it’s made for!
Amen, thank you 🙏
Oooooh shit sorry bro for that , had it 2 times🥲🥲🥲 but the crash protector are good, but why the delay on the airbag!?
I think the airbag system didn't deploy because I was so low to the ground already and it didn't sense a huge change in speed as I was initially sliding, then as my body got thrown/twisted that is when it deployed. Maybe a good thing since you don't necessarily want the airbag to ALWAYS deploy? Maybe?
@@vtranmoto 👍👍 happy that u r ok take care
Oh no! The RC8C is such a beautiful machine. I think I'd cry if I crashed something that nice. I'd be way to emotional to own one for track riding. Hopefully parts are available!
Thanks so much, luckily we made a R6 clipon work and I can ride it with the shaved down pegs for now. Next race is in 11 days so gotta get it back up and running shortly. :D
I'm glad you're ok and bike is ok! Same sort of thing happened to me years ago when my rear suspension leaked oil onto the tire.
You can safety wire a small hose clamp on the cap to prevent it from happening in the future. Or use one of those superbike kits without a reservoir.
Thanks Mario!!! Definitely going to look into the kits. Just remove the whole reservoir. Great suggestion.
I was so close to a 41 man!!! >.< getting very comfortable at the 42s pace though. Hope to see you out on track soon!
Heck, glue the cap on the reservoir. Who weares out rear brakes. If you ever have to replace the fluid just throw out the reservoir and by a replacement for $10. Cheap insurance for your aero investments. :)
Are those plus racing gloves or made by the same guys in pakistan that produce for them?
hey there, no I don't wear Plus apparel; I use www.racerglovesusa.com/. I'll do a post-crash analysis of all the gear, I think everything held up pretty well though!
@@vtranmoto i wear the same and they have also hit the ground a few times. Solid gloves and still 100% useable. They last about a year for me with the regular sweat drenching and drying cycles..nice fit and one of the few ventilated options when you trackride in Texas. Recommended.
surprised how little to nothing happened to the bike. Most ppl that bought this bike stuck it in some closed door collection. You are out there doing what it was meant to do! Ride on brother
Gonna be a fun 6 month wait for parts
Truth! The bodywork is from KTM and unfortunately the wings and windshield are months out. Luckily, the hardbits were all available through Kramer and I received them yesterday. Bike is #readytorace for next weekend. 😁
held up well mate.
cheers! :D

Hehe 😁 cho a mot vai tuan de lam review va video, a nhan moto3 hom nay!!! 😁😁😁😁😁

Oh shit! Glad to see minimal damage to bike and you seemed fine too. The track surface looks poor, am I wrong!
haha yeah, good eye. The gopro stabilization does a good job of making the track look "decent" but it is truly the worse track surface I have ever ridden on and I've ridden at quite a few tracks! Lucky to say that this is now my home track...
@@vtranmoto Haha so I'm right! Over here in UK our top circuits are the best. My local, the famous Brands Hatch where we have many Pro races at, you would love it and your gorgeous KTM would be at home there, smooth and so grippy.👍🏻
@@verdeboyo that would be a dream! European tracks are just next level. I’ve only ridden at Jerez once but I would love to come back and ride in UK, IT, and Spain!
Glad ur ok!Aaww those pets to comfort you!
Thank you, Jane and Ellie are wonderful :)
Glad you're ok man! I'm sure it sucks though
That’s a yellow couch
I’ve saved a seat just for you 😚
I guess those are designed really well not to get messed up in a crash, I assumed it would be scratched up AF after that. Glad you're only hurt enough to learn your lesson :P
Hehe thanks man :) come out to the races damnit!

Cam on e!!
That was wild. My S1K has metal cap safety with a screw. This bike doesn’t have it? Sorry to see you go down.
Lovely bike
Thanks so much!
Why didn’t you pick it up right away
It’s a private track/private trackday. Just me and one friend so there was no rush.
Normal trackday, best policy is to walk away from it and get to a safe area.
Thank you!
@@vtranmoto bro you just told me I got money 😂 good for you
Much respect to guys that post their accidents, whatever they might be. Jeez, my budgets low enough I think I'd buy a dedicated track bike that had already seen it's share of going over, maybe even half tired out ninja 400, I'm almost 63 and definitely don't want to fight my mt10 around "the ridge" in Shelton, Wa., my local track. Man, those track days get pricey when you start adding everything up.😮Great content👍
thanks so much for watching and commenting! I actually used to live in Seattle and have ridden at the Ridge! Really miss that area of the country. Ride safe and thanks again!
Airbags only set off when you get a highside or another fast crash that the parameters go up high as F in a really short time.
Glad you are ok Viet,and very small damage on bike almost nothing (it’s your fault that you have expensive toy’s 😉 so even small crash can be costly 😊)someone has more damage when they drop bike from kick stand .👍
Hahaha! Thanks man, appreciate it 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to hear about your get off on such a super bike. Glad You're pretty OK did you ever find the brake cap? I'm sure gonna be checking my super duke from now on .
Appreciate it! Didn’t find it, but we put a hose clamp on a cap and safety wired it so it’s never coming off again 🤣
glad you,re ok, low sides are usually not a big deal if they,re on low speed corners, high sides on other hand give me nightmares no matter low or high speed.
Super lucky it didn’t result in a high side, that’s for sure!
The bike seems to crash very well!! Would have thought those carbon wings in front would be gone! A little road rash ain't no thang!
HA! damn straight. I'm surprised at how tough the wings are, I thought it would snap off as well!
I'd just touch up the wings with some light sanding and clear coat and ride it as is. Can always replace them in the future.
Truth! TBH I might just take them off and hang them on a wall or something...
Makes more sense that the cap came off as a result of the impact.
Glad no bones or forks were bent. I’d love to be riding up at your level!
Thanks so much! The crash protection was outstanding. I'm excited for your track journey, just keep it up and optimize for seat time! You got this!!!
Times?
Awesome!!! It's all part of the experience!
You got that right!
One expensive brake fluid cap.
I'm sorry such a beautiful bike. I'm glad you did not get injured. Bike parts could be replaced, your health is more important.
Thank you! Much appreciated!!!
Question….is there not an anti rotational aluminum tab that mounts to the reservoir tank with a screw? I remember seeing them on my Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawi
Funny enough there isn't! I have one of those tabs on my 2020 R6 reservoir, but for whatever reason KTM doesn't have it (also isn't on my 2022 KTM Duke 890R). Maybe its a Japanese bike thing. In any case, I installed and safety wired a hose clamp to provide extra security on the rear brake reservoir. :D
As long no highsides should be alright..😅.
Ha! Exactly :D thanks for watching 🙏
@@vtranmoto no problem, been eyeing on the Vircos suit after watching your review.. waiting for butt patch design to be ready..😅😅
@@mdfaruq5800 love it! lmk if you need my contact at Vircos, its a fantastic suit. I'm about to order another one... :D
@@vtranmoto I've contacted Lacopo..but told him I'm not ready with the patch..😅😅...just a quick question..for your butt patch..is it you design on your own or they helped you to do it?
@@mdfaruq5800 they help refined it, I had an idea already. Their design team is great, Iacopo is awesome, I actually met up with him at COTA for MotoGP and took him to dinner. If you ever have the chance, highly recommend visiting him and the Vircos team in Italy! :)
Nice man glad your are okay and the bike made it out alright too! I also have an RC8R that I want to start taking to the track.
definitely do it, its a ton of fun!
Oh no! Glad you're okay! Much love from CA.
tyty mama!
Your a beast and your bike is a beast!
Thanks man 👊
Glad you're okay. Yup, crashing sucks, but it is a part of track riding. Yours was kind of sucky in that your rear reservoir cap came off and painted your tire. Good that you have money to fix. After a few crashes, I had to stop. Never took my RC8 to the track (even though I REALLY wanted to), for just this reason. Heal up and get back out there! The RC8C seemed to come out of it very well, (all things considered). When you st got the bike, I thought that you should have bought some aftermarket plastics "just in case", but the factory protection, except for the wing, did very well in the crash.
Man, I haven't seen this video until just now. I remember watching the vids of you getting this bike... Glad you're okay. You sure have a great attitude... Not sure mine would be as positive. You live such an enviable life my man!!!
Thanks so much! I think I’ve just fully embraced that it’s not a matter of if but when we crash. So I just try to learn from the crash. I didn’t do a followup video, but I do think it was my mistake, adding gas while not reducing lean angle. Just gonna try and get better at it! 🙂
Thanks again!!
@@vtranmoto Hey, do you want to trade lives for a few weeks? Mine's pretty good, you can be a fireman in SF for a bit and I can visit the tracks of the world on the best bikes. Deal?
@@sf1203 hahaha! SF is a really nice place to live! Not sure if you want to deal with Houston heat and humidity. XD wait till you see the Barber footage my friend! ;)
@@vtranmoto I flew out there a few years ago and did the California Superbike School 2 day camp. That track is SO FUN. On the second day it rained and I ended up having the time of my life in the wet. Coach couldn't keep up with me (not so humble brag). But also, I bet if a coach crashes they get fired, whereas I had nothing to lose. Still a feather in my cap, though. Love your vids my man. Keep it up!
@@sf1203 hahaha, you were the Brad Binder of the day! :D well done!
Damn, originally thought it was a low side, glad your ok and bike took minimal damage. Yea older bikes i had all had the stopper with the screw at the side. Noticed newer bikes these days dont have them, my ktm included.
Awww.. sorry to see but glad you're okay! The bike can be fixed.. part of riding especially when you start getting better and riding at the edge..
ya, have picked up alot of bikes there(Race weekends)... just none that nice.
Hahaha well I can proudly say I’m the first idiot to crash a RC8C in the world! 🤣
@@vtranmoto 🤣😂😥😥🤣There is that.
noob
why are you so skilless
I’m not sure :(
MORE PAIN THAN LOVELIFE 💔
hahha thanks George :)
anh việt ơi, em xin ig facebook của anh được không?
If it crashes that well and can do 1:42at msrh, keep that bike. At that price I’d probably put the aero on the shelf. Gravity likes me too much. But thats me. I like your style. Bikes are for riding not collecting. Ride on!
Thanks Mike! Yeah I’m going to do exactly that (putting the wings on the shelf). We aren’t taking them with us when we die, might as well enjoy it while we can!
