Its very hard to judge speed from a shot like that. I am sure that the clever sods among us, will be able to work out how many feet a second he is traveling when he passes the parked cars.

IMO not quite a squid, He is on a quite road with great visibility. He also has the sense to gear up. The fact that he is moving after the crash is a testament to his safety gear.

Biker Wipes Out at 95mph

What impresses most is the head cam keeps going. :eek:


Hope he was OK.

He was doing a wheelie. He must have lost concentration when he noticed the group of riders on the side of the road.



:squid::squid: out of 5

He's a fellow on Triumph675.net.
He is OK, some scratches and a swollen knee and leg.
Bike is not totalled, mostly cosmetic damage.

Re: Biker Wipes Out at 95mph

I was most impressed by the guy who stopped to help.

He talked to him so he knew he was still with us.
Wigle both hands and fingers ..all ok there

He then carried on checking..nice guy to have with you.

Nelly...whats your take on that ??

Thats why i only do slow wheelies. High speed wheelies can go real bad if the front end starts to get into a harmonic rhythem.
