I Crashed My RC51

turkey : "aight i'mma cross now"

[@johnl5573]

turkey: "imma end this whole mans career"

[@jW-kr5xn]

Turkey: Imma give this guy a thanksgiving meal

[@HeroRR]

It's not all bad news everyone, I actually have a lot of good news that i'll be sharing soon enough! But for now I just wanted to say thank you all for your support. I never wanted to make a video like this but i'm blessed to be OK and my bike isn't too bad either. We will rebuild (eventually)! Stay safe out there everyone!!

[@neil_hamel]

I hate that this happened to you man, but I'm glad that you're ok. The RC51 is a solid bike and I'd love to see you bring her back to the same spec. Keep an eye on the RC51 fb groups for replacement parts. There's satos and OEM plastics being sold on there onna fairly regular basis, but as you know parts are getting harder to find year after year. Good luck with whatever you do.

[@NudaMan]

Btw I tried a 06 Honda Cbr600RR 2 days ago and I absolutely loveddddddd it 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@nuclearchris832]

Dude. Your a smart guy. You know better. You wear gear. Tough luck sorry 😐

[@ianmihalic726]

Hey i have a sato banzai can for the right side of my rc51. I was hit by a car and it crushed the left side but right was no really damaged. I tool the sato gold plates off the rivets but you can very easily drill yours off and rivet your one onto mine. I like your videos and i know those exhaust are very hard to find. I tried to find a left one but gave up and got some original k custom one and riveted the sato plates to them. Anyways sorry about your bike man

[@kawi704racing]

Glad you're ok.

[@MotoMat04]

My heart broke when I saw the title, poor RC51. Glad the damage wasn't that bad. Hope you heal well man.

[@gti5700]

It's the best bike he has😭

[@denbeere4277]

Same

[@tahahaider5836]

I thought you were going to say ur heart broke because herorr got into an accident. Haha lol.

[@MotoMat04]

@@tahahaider5836 Let's be honest, we all care about the bikes more than HeroRR 😂😂

[@tokyosmash]

Bikes can be replaced, bodies can’t, glad you’re still with us, big homie.

[@Blue-moon12]

Glad you're ok mate. I just bought some riding pants after 7 years of riding, I don't want any of the knee burns you have. R.I.P Jive Turkey

[@Kryptiik]

Thank you for showing us this. This just completely reiterates the fact of ALL THE GEAR ALL THE TIME! The next "mod" I will be purchasing will be a pair of padded/armour riding jeans or pants of some sort. Glad you're OK buddy👍 BTW I have a white X-14 and I absolutely LOVE IT. Get that helmet, you won't be disappointed.

[@AlexKavanagh29x]

Or as we often say over here: "dress for the slide, not the ride."

[@mj6463]

Yeah I fell on my BICYCLE a year or so back with jeans on at like 2mph literally, got a three inch hole in the jeans and a two inch scar on my knee, fell on my dirt bike around the neighborhood, and lowsided (knobbies) pulling away from a stop, maybe 5-10 mph, huge rip down my jeans and decent bit of road rash on my knee, scared later, managed to ride home and change into shorts to say it was another bicycle acident lol, I was 16 then (17 now) and was nooooot supposed to be on the street with that thing. Definitely learned my lesson the hard way, DENIM DOES NOT SLIDE, it tears. Definitely atgat going forward!

[@eric62backstrom]

NBT riding pants are decent

[@anderjl276ps]

Hopefully you got a turkey dinner out of the deal🤣

[@mauvrion_fries]

I'll eat my Thanksgiving turkey a little extra aggressively this year. Damn birds.

[@MrFoster91]

hey man glad you're ok, talking from experience the hardest hit you feel is your pride. after any crash its all about the what ifs. the bike can be saved and you live to ride another day. don't beat your self up to much we're only human after all.

[@IndyMotoRider]

You're so positive! I need a friend like you.

[@danejurus69]

Sorry to hear about this. It happens to us all. I laid down my 400 once and 2 days after getting my 600RR I hit a deer head on(but didnt go down) and it costed like $400 for new parts.

[@burntavocado5033]

A week after I got my first bike, a 2012 Yamaha fz6r I hit a deer. I slowed down to about 15 before impact, didn't even knock the deer over we just exchanged pains in our asses. Luckily I didn't have fairing on the bike, I took them off because it was my first bike and didn't want to scratch them up. So i only broke the front cowling. 471 part so about 511 after tax and shipping. 40 minutes to put the new one on and I was back in business

[@PitKid2000]

Had a crash one and a half weeks ago and ended up breaking 7 vertebrae - my gear 100% saved my life and im lucky to have worn it even though i just wanted to pick up a few snacks. Wear your gear ppl and ride safe, accidents happen so unexpectedly and so fast.

[@untonyto]

So sorry

[@PitKid2000]

@RedEyeOf Jupiter im good dude pretty much fully recovered, just a bit of pain left

[@Iamtoookool]

Dude first of all I love the videos. I am so buying riding pants now. I have gloves jacket boots helmet, but damn I going to buy some pants! And Greeting from Germany.

[@IndyMotoRider]

Glad you're good! Pretty sure they have motorcycle jeans with knee/hip protection. Looking forward to future content.

[@hbor77]

Yes, there is. We actually bought one pair. It looks like jeans but contains kevlar en has protection on the knees and waist. They look like jeans though...

[@rankin1289]

Omg dude glad your ok!! My favorite bike of all time..

[@audiogarden21]

ATGATT Hero... ATGATT... Good to hear you're okay though. Also, there are excellent textile pants that breathe very well and come with rain liners, as well as fully sealed for colder weather. I have Olympia Airglide 4 and Sentry pants for summer and winter respectively.

[@IndyMotoRider]

Okay DanDan

[@FriendlyChemist776]

Well glad you're ok and can walk around, its unfortunate that the bike got messed up but at least is cosmetics it still feels awful. Over all glad you're good bro.

[@bikewolf7455]

Everyone is crashing this year... my friends, i, you, couple of local guys from our meeting spot... 2020 is truly a shitty year... Anyways i got lucky because my bikes fairings had seen crashes before so only difference was my mirror was broken. I didnt hurt myself luckily. Was only doing 30mph and i was watching deers eating at the side of the road... when i looked up again there was a corner... so dumb Just keep in mind ATGATT. Thats what saved me from hurting myself.

[@derekcook6042]

Glad to see you made it out okay! At the end of the day 2k is way less than I life.

[@GVMotoring]

"There's two types of riders; those who have crashed, and those who will." So glad you're okay! From a fellow MA rider watch out for those turkeys and of course the potholes.

[@ridge9066]

GV Motoring and then there’s those that have crashed five times :(

[@SoloMCRider]

I’m glad you are okay 👌 definitely investing on some riding jeans 👖!

[@Riding2redline]

Damn dude glad your OK. I had a similar situation happen to me a few years ago when I crashed. I was wearing all the gear with riding jeans on and my legs got pretty banged up too. Upgraded my riding gear the next day and started rebuilding the bike while I healed up. Sucks going down on the RC51 but at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been. - Ride safe

[@ifly65]

I was doing 70mph East St Louis near the arch, a turkey ran up a bank from a lake and took off into the air right in front of me . All I saw was feathers skim my helmet as I tucked the bike hard left. It nearly took my head off. A truck next to me gave me a KSHE thumbs up. Im glad you are ok. You will have fun repairing it. The tank making it is great new, the rest can be replaced.

[@RandysReality]

Been watching your channel for a bit.. sorry to hear about your accident! The most important things are you and no one else got seriously injured. I went down about 4 weeks ago and my right side took the most of it.. my knee is still healing. I’m with you on the gear, I had on the same amount as you did but I’m not gonna ride without some actual leather or riding jeans. Keep up the videos and ride safe!

[@arekw9750]

If you don't like walking around in the leather pants then try riding moto jeans with protectors and kevlar fabric. I find it very comfortable for both riding and walking around

[@bruno70840]

Bike is a bike.. Human is human..but nothing is priceless than human life.. May God bless you sir, fast recover!

[@mr.robinson1982]

When I ride, I ride in full equipment. No matter how Hot it is outside, Helmet, Jacket (leather or Phoenix) gloves (with Kevlar knuckles) leather pants, & combat boots (all black leather)... Yes it is hot, but skin grafts hurt more..

[@Adameftube]

Fairly lucky result for a 50mph+ crash. Most important part is you and glad to see you're relatively ok. Heal up fast and stay safe.

[@ChaseN194]

If I remember correctly you are in new England right? I've been riding in new England for this past month and the animals are EVERYWHERE! I've almost been killed by a deer, 2 rabbits, and a turkey.

[@mikeyg6631]

I'm glad you walked away!! I watch all your videos and share them for there content. Especially the boosa one because i have a couple of buddies that have them. Once again I'm glad your safe and able to share your accident. Stickey side down always my friend. Point being.... you walked away in a hobby that's 50/50!! Get some frame sliders too

[@dandavidson9030]

I'm glad you aren't hurt too much. As far as the bike goes. It may be expensive to repair, but it can be replaced. You can't. I don't know if you have heard of them. But Airtech Streamlining. Here is a link, www.airtech-streamlining.com/ And don't forget the Italian tune up.😊

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

Glad your are okay. I always wear my Kevlar lined jeans and my boots come up over my calves. I think I'm going to buy those gloves.

[@Themachinegun]

I am very happy you walked away. I got side swiped on the FWY doing about 40mph. My Shoei 1200 and Alpinestars jacket saved me. I was wearing Jeans with knee pads and kevlar inserts. They did awesome. No road rash at all. Well worth the money and not as hot as leather.

[@nkaraca8191]

I have been watching your videos for quiet a while and you definitely have way underrated QUALITY content. Keep up the good work and I hope you get well fast... don't worry too much about the bike we're glad that you are okay.

[@Taupila]

Looking at the comments makes me shudder. ALWAYS wear proper riding gear - every single time you ride. Feeling hot in your gear? You can get mesh gear that is lighter than normal clothing would be. You want to look casual or smart even? Just get the armoured stuff, there are so many styles available. And as for boots, always use high enough boots that provide protection for your shin bones as well. Drive safe!

[@movem1]

Preserve it? Nah, I’d like to see you enjoy that war horse! Great channel, also glad you’re OK 👍

[@juliodc1231]

Damn...Turkey's and deer are the worst. I live in Kentucky so I know how dangerous they can be. Glad you okay though man. Sad to see such an iconic motorcycle get damaged especially after you put so much work into her.

[@SuperRisino]

Man, I don't believe that you got multiple bikes (sportbikes especially) and don't have proper bike trousers ... glad you are ok.

[@David_Watts]

Dude, you are HELLA lucky, cuz I'm pretty sure it could've been way worse. Especially for your knees! Glad you're ok, you have a GREAT channel. Get well soon and stay safe..

[@clutch3616]

Hope You Have A Speedy Recovery Man. I Know It Must Hurt More To See The Bike In This Condition Than Your Leg, But Some Falls Teach Us Where To Draw The Line. Not Taking Away The Love That You Have For Honda ( I Myself Became A Fan of Honda After Seeing Your Videos) Do You Think As A Rider, If You Had An ADV Bike (Something Like Triumph Tiger/Suzuki Vstrom/Benelli TRK/ BMW 850/1250 GS) The Fall Could Have Been Less Fatal Than What You Had On A Supersport ? I Know You Won't Change Your Riding Style After Having One Bad Fall, And I'm Not Asking You To Change. But Does It Ever Cross Your Mind To Think of The Different Possibilities Where Your Bike Could Take Most of The Fall, Rather Than You Having To Depend On Life Saving Riding Gears ? (I Know Riding Gears Are Essential On Any Bike And There Is Just No Way of Predicting The Fatality in A Bike Accident, with Cars It's Much More (For The Lack of A Better Word) Sophisticated ! PS. You Almost Reminded me of The Housekeeping Lady From Tom & Jerry or The Mayor's Secretary in Red Dress From Powerpuff Girls ! Thanks For Still Keeping Your Identity A Secret.

[@theferretxd2643]

Hey man glad your okay. my brother crashed really bad but he was really lucky he didnt get hurt bad also. Ive been working on my 04 cbr600rr and i saw you have a 600rr i took the back brake spring off and now i have no idea how it goes back on didnt pay to much attention when i took it off could you upload a picture or something of how it's suppose to be on it would help me out sooooooo much it's located right behind the bracket you might be able to see it without taking the bracket off I replaced my brackets thats why im dealing with this problem

[@tylermanson8660]

Glad you're ok, sorry about your bike dude it's still an awesome machine I hope you can fix everything🤘🔥🇺🇸

[@reycaballero2462]

Damn bro that sucks... taken down by a Turkey.... glad you're safe and yeah gear up dude lucky you got away with scrapes but it could have been worst...bike on the other hand can be rebuilt so dont seat it too much.. keep riding and we will be watching

[@mattknight1036]

The most important thing is that you are ok. Bikes can be replaced. Personally I'd take it back to standard and keep on riding. Keep the vids coming, luv the content.

[@adamschannel8685]

Glad you’re alright mate and glad you’re uploading again. It’s been a month. I’ve missed ya!

[@travisguide4516]

I really enjoy your vlog great recap glad you are ok full gear is where it's at. Tough way to catch a turkey dinner.

[@timothyerb5150]

I looked away when the sheet was removed but the damage is not too bad. Made me sick to my stomach when I saw the headline. Thank goodness for the tank and satos not getting hit bad. I wrecked my first RC51 in WV in 2013 and I wish it had looked like that (I also wish I just had just scrapes on my knees lol) Before Wreck - drive.google.com/open?id=0B6-AX5iDZou2REtWd0FCV3hKbmVzaDc0TDFPLXpPMkxQNXlZ After Wreck - drive.google.com/open?id=0B6-AX5iDZou2YUFaZkxraEs5bjRfb3lZWXhnM1pwcVFGbkQ4 Get better soon!

[@mj6463]

Think about it this way, you didn’t have to pay hospital bills so this crash was cheap as hell, 1-2 k is awesome, ambulance and er charge more so you are really lucky!

[@erolgermannemmanuel5637]

Shit happens, I am glad you are okay ! Stay safe HeroRR . Thanks for the good advise (!) Regards 🇧🇷

[@gti5700]

Gotta where full gear bro even if its hot. Alot of the new pants and jackets now have zipup or down mesh inserts in places for cooling. Rest up, ointment and or Vaseline is your friend for those knees. Please update us on your healing and bike repair. God bless you and stay safe

[@michaelparboosingh]

Man glad you good! I started riding bikes because of you and that 954rr rebuild.... The bike aint all that bad either!

[@NinjaKid1985]

Ohhhh nooo. Hope it's realy only bodywork and nothing more Serious. And I hope your knees will heal as fast as possible.

[@TheLifeinDenver]

From the damage this was obviously a brain fart of an accident. or you slipped on some loose gravel at the gas station ? glad ur ok.. :) good thing u have 4 other bikes to get you through .. lol

[@JP-vs9ke]

Sorry for this mate, stay safe. Love your channel. Greetings out of Germany from a SP1 driver. 💪

[@tasdabn]

Bike can be fixed or replaced. You cant. Only thing that matters is you got up pretty much unscathed.

[@kevinhekers2380]

Sucks man i work as a spraypainter and fixed a lot of motorcycle parts the front fender easy fix and paint same goes for the rear the side is scratched up but it looks fixable you can sand a lot out of plastic without needing bondo. the font fairing looks fixable but it might be more economical to order a new one butt if i where you i would still keep it and try to fix it even if it doesn't work out you would have learned a lot out of it by trying it and perhaps keep it as a spare if i lived in the states and lived in the era i would have gladly helped you with but its kinda hard to do from the netherlands if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask

[@sorinsrn5442]

Man, its good that you are ok, dont worry about the bike...any bike can be fixed or repaired but human body not so easy...so you are much more important then any piece of iron.

[@tobyh4862]

Damn bro that sucks, we’ve all been there, I hope you get your bike fixed up and shiny again 👍🏻👍🏻

[@yl9154]

Thank you for posting this. Hopefully more people will realize that leg protection is just as essential as the jacket. Given your speed, sliding off the road very likely saved you far worst knee wounds. I know that looking at it, people can't imagine how painful it can be, especially if the wounds are large and start to get "crusty". Not to mention the cleaning of your burned (by friction), ground meat seasoned with rubber dust and sand. Wear good motorcycle pants. You'll get used to it.

[@NeeoDroid]

Lol I was expecting it to be shredded in 2 pieces 😂 Glad you ok, I know it will look as good as it used to soon enough

[@agustsetiawan3867]

Feel sorry for the accident, get well soon and looking forward the video on making up the bike again

Keep that rc51 stock, it's worth money now even.

[@bukarabdullahi127]

I have crashed my bikes three times.. always had knee injuries after crashes and they hurt like hell when you take a bath and when you wake up in the morning. Glad you are good chief.. stay safe and ride safer...

[@WeItenspinner]

So. you did the same mistake three times? oO That''s the definition of insanity.

[@zacht9447]

I laid down my CB750 when I was riding in January the worst was the rash i got on my forearm my legs were fine cause i was wearing jeans

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm happy your okish bro ..I'm so sorry to hear this

I do love you're riding in Miles Standish, I loved riding my CBR1100XX all last summer there since I lived down the road :)

[@holzwurm_hd7029]

Don't you have insurance? Edit: Okay he has insurance.

[@rickm9534]

NO BRO! Hadn't watched the whole vid yet, but saw the notification, man and just cringed. Thank god you're alright man, lived to ride another day 🙏

[@ASadP1ckle]

Bput a year ago now, my 04 vfr was wrecked when someone turned left in front of me. I know the feeling of defeat that you have right now, my frame was cracked, i had 22 stitches in my neck, an arm in a cast for 4 months, and other assorted fun. Im still getting back on the bike though! This time its an 85 honda sabre 700! Old school cool!

[@frankjaeger24]

The great HeroRR stopped by a reckless turkey. 2020 still carries on bad news.

Man this is painful to watch. Get well soon, and I hope you get the RC back together .

[@jimhufford7328]

Several years ago I hit a beagle as he emerged from high weeds on the side of the road. I didn't even try to touch the brakes on my ZG1000. I didn't go down, though. I braced for the hit and the big ol' bike just shook it off. I guess I was lucky.

[@theyweredeadwhenigotthere1391]

But the dog was okay right

[@theyweredeadwhenigotthere1391]

I make joke jajaja

[@chawenhalo0089]

Most important thing is that you're OK. Bar some fairing, it bears its battle scars proudly...

[@h2489-m2l]

You're in one piece, that's all that matters. Make the bike okay to ride and in time you will make it perfect again. Don't let it bother you.

Ride safe and God bless HeroRR

[@SGK23TV]

Is wrapping the fairings an option? I ask because I have a nice 10-12mm scratch down to the black ( on pearl white) & I don’t know if to use colorite & touch it up + a few lil ones,get new OEM fairings, or get them wrapped. Let me know I’d love to hear ur advice. Most important you’re A-1 w/ minor road road rash. & There is a company that sales OEM direct from the manufacturer ( with #’s ect). If u need the link just comment I’ll shoot it to you. I am kind of in the same situation. I was walking my new 2020 ex400 down a driveway & Baby Mother drama happened & it hit the curve on the right,& then hit the left side. Nothing like yours but fairings are down to the black, gear shifter bent & hopefully no other problems. Funny how you mention insurance bc We pay a nice amount a year & it seems like most riders don’t get to use it ( I’m thinking on just switching to liability/170 $ a year). Peace n blessings. Awesome bike! Sgk23.

[@IDHPI]

Actually gasp when I saw the title I know you like this bike. Crazy you would most likely have come out of this unscathed had you had proper pants gear. Can’t wait to see you back on the road. Cheers.

[@seanvityaz]

ouch my sympathies, i got hit doing 30 last month and my left knee ended up pretty similar yet i was wearing trainers and my ankle suffered the worst, only slid about maybe 20 feet but the skin got burn down to the tendon and still healing to this day, my little 1974 yamaha rs100 didnt fair so well either and she was an all original too, if anything the accidents made me more attached to the bike to the point where shes now getting the cafe treatment and a fresh rebuild! every cloud has a silver lining!

[@mil46]

When does this happen to us because we are always more concerned with the bike than with us? I'm glad you didn't get hurt anymore and the flesh and the skin really do come back. And as soon as possible you will be at your command again. I am 59 years old and I never stop butchering my friends head to always use good protection, this is an example like so many others that could have gone worse if you hadn’t used them The best and best laps🤙

[@anthonymcfarlane3014]

Been there already bro, glad to hear you're ok. I have the same exact damages as you on my lowside. I replaced most of the parts already, just today I pulled the trigger on the front cowl, ouch 360$ with free shipping. Quick question where did you get your clutch cover from for $120+, I wasnt willing to spend $170 on a new one so I'll just replace my old one back on. The trick with these bikes to to hold onto old parts because you never know when you'll need them.

[@MotoMedicine904]

I went down back in June at 35mph on an on ramp. Was wearing my camo uniform pants but had full gear on otherwise. My right knee got gashed all the way down to the patella. Hospital sewed me up and said my CT scan was clear.... 3 months later I finally got an MRI and my patellar tendon and PCL are both torn. 🤦‍♂️ starting riding again about 4 weeks post crash. Funny thing is i have less discomfort riding my bike than I do driving the car.

[@egg250]

Wish u speed recovery
