What an idiot.

What is it about this corner, is it really that treacherous or do these riders crashing here all the time just don't know how to ride?

Nope. I'm with you on this one, near pissed my pants laughing. The slow-mo of the croc going over the side was almost too much for one bladder to handle. The fact that he hearly followed the croc was just priceless..!!

That corner just begs you to go faster, faster, faster. About half way around you realize that just maybe you shouldn't have listened....

No. Crocs had more "stick" to the asphalt than the tires and superseded the tire grip.  Lol

Truth. When I crashed my C3, I broke my collar bone, cracked a couple ribs, and landed in poison ivy. And I rode it home and walked to the hospital.

 Lol Took me a while to stop laughing...but y'know...when I was young and dumb and living in Italy one summer, I did the exact same thing (sans Crocs) on a 250cc Vespa on a twisty mountain road. Those little wheels are damn treacherous!  Crazy I had to perform in the orchestra that evening with one arm bandaged to the hilt from a bad case of road rash...
