[@benjaminhatfield5606]

7:12 Force = mass x acceleration ---> F = kg x m/s squared F = 200kg (weight of Fireblade) x 31.2928m/s (70Mph/2.237) F = 6258.56N Convert that into kilogram force which is equal to the magnitude of force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s2 gravitational field. Basically how much weight you have been slapped in the face with. Kgf = 638.195 Kg

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

[@harveycool2]

Ever thought about going in them slapping competitions you see on KZbin ? 😂😂

[@RUNDMC1]

Benjamin Hatfield This assumes that Al’s face slowed the blade from 70mph to zero in one second - not actually that likely. I’d prefer to do the sum based on energy dissipated by Al’s mug at E = 0.5mv(squared). Either way it’s the least pleasant way to open your visor I can think of! 😱

"theres a reward for it's safe return" not gonna lie lost it completely 😂 awesome vid thoroughly enjoyed that for 30 odd mins

[@space.youtube]

24:35 "I've never had a head injury like it" Those two head twitches immediately after? Were you taking the piss? If not, scary stuff. Bike racing is a brutal business, a bit like horse racing. The public doesn't often see the nags that perish behind screens, or end up at the glue factory for not being fast or durable enough. But for every champion there must hundreds/thousands of broken aspirants who bare the scars of participation. The thing that struck me most was the honesty and appreciation for each others experience. The stuff that wasn't said, that didn't require saying out loud but was understood with complete clarity nonetheless. If only people were as easy to fix as their machines. Thanks for sharing.

[@ozgotsoul]

Thanks for this vid lads - I've had a couple of crashes where I had no idea what happened or why, it beats you up mentally. Hearing that it even happens to regular, high level riders such as yourselves is comforting somehow - not cos you got hurt, but thanks for sharing the stories 👍

[@honeyforce996]

It's nice to see the humility from the guys who have been there and done that. Thanks for sharing.

[@alf9638]

This was honestly a captivating and riveting chat guys...veteran heroes recounting legendary battles and war wounds. Epic.

Mossy and those 2am wheelies..

[@Desmo904]

I did that with my old GPz600R. I was young and stupid and changing the fork springs on the side stand...(sigh) got the 2nd fork top off "Timberrrrrrr" forks compress completely and the bike topples over away from me against a brick wall. What was a lovely paint job wasn't anymore. Worst of it was that when the fork top came off it shot off with a fair force and the large bit hit me in the chin! What a tit.

Great lockdown stories guys. I have a few good ones over 25 years as a road/ trackday hero, then listen to you boys!! Fair play and glad you are still here!

[@wrightracing11]

I remember the Anglesey Fireblade well Al! Made a nice crack too! Marshals running to the moving guy but leaving the still chap on the circuit. The morphine texts from the Welsh hospital were better than the crash!! Hope you’re well man, good to see the channel and 44T taking off. G #11

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Hi G! Hope you’re well mate. Been too long

[@Lyingleyen]

I must admit I haven't enjoyed a video quite so much for a long time. Generally we've all bitten the dirt a few times as bikers so we can share your pain. Two gutsy blokes doing what you do best.... falling off bikes!

[@brunostudley2191]

Bikers stories are just the best, never get tired of listening to this stuff. Pair of legends 💪🏻👍🏻

[@gregsoucie]

Man. Glad you both came through those! Mossys TT crash sounded horrifying and that Fireblade in the face. Damn. Not a racer, but this is definitely a reminder to me to ride within my limits on the roads and, when I eventually get to it, track days. Best wishes lads.

[@ragerider6283]

[@gliddofglood]

This just confirms what I have always thought: if you want to be fast, you have to prepared to do hospital time. If you mess with kinetic energy it will eventually mess with you. I know the sound of smashing plastic and scraping aluminium only too well - it sounds like many many banknotes being ripped up - your future earnings - but at least I have stayed out of hospital. Ergo: I am not fast.

[@randersson3672]

Makes one humble watching this 🤕😐 Thanks for this video, really 👍🏆

[@612crue]

Great video guys. It sucks that it took some gnarly incidents for the content, but we can all relate to that feeling of knowing you’ve done a boo-boo. Stay safe out there boys

[@ghollidge]

I haven't got a clue how Fagan is alive after that bike hitting his head. Many other riders wouldn't of survived it, maybe it was is double chin that saved him haha

[@nyedavis922]

Maybe he didn't have a double chin beforehand. His chin acted as a crumplezone and saved his life

[@fjtwelve]

Good stories, and unlike the average pub crash stories you weren't trying to outdo one another, no "mines a bigger crash than yours" . Carrying on after being through the grinder takes some strength, hadn't realised how badly Al had been broken at various times. I've had the nearly hit a deer experience too, one night in the dark, used up one of the 9 lives I think. ATGATT boys and girls

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

"...run tight in a cirner" LMAO!😂. I really sympathise with you Fagan. I'm 53 now and depend on opioids and gabapentin every single solitary day to keep pain at bay so bad it would cripple me otherwise. My accidents haven't been as bad as yours but in biking I've hit a bullock which walked out from a gap in a stone wall, hit a fox, hit a deer at 70mph, a pheasant and a bat!!! I've damaged my spine, femur, hip dislocated my shoulder, broken ribs, my fingers, damaged my pelvis, neck, wrist, scaphoid, thumb...the list goes on. I feel for you because I know that when you hit your 50's, all those injuries will come back to haunt you. I can just cope with the pain but my biggest regret was several years afo having to sell my gorgeous gen1 RSVR Colin Edwards replica Aprilia Mille which rode, sounded and looked stunning. It was one of only 40 ever imported and I had it 6 years. I just couldn't ride sportsbikes anymore as my spine had no flexibility and the hip surgery left restricted movement too. I tried a tiger 1200 but the weight was too much...I now hate to admit it but I ride GSA1200, the one bike I said I'd never be seen dead on but to my surprise I love it. So still able to ride but not sportsbikes. I sincerely hope that you never have to suffer the 24/7 pain that tortures me but ut sounds like you've at least had excellent medical care which I never got...cock ups by one consultant in fact resulted in temporary paralysis in my case. All the best bud, stay safe and enjoy your riding mate.

[@bernhardhappach9392]

As a non native english speaker, its not too easy to understand what mossy wants to tell us. It doesnt even help remotely, when his microphone quality in this case is medicore to add up. So thanks for your crash stories, Fagan. I couldnt make up what Mosy has been up to ;)

Nice to see some of your journey don't know if I would get back on a bike after some of them crashes we have a local lad was on crutches hobbling round our local cafes for a while don't know how he gets back on bikes and managed to win 5 tts in one year legend.

[@PeterMurphyceltic]

Mossy you are so lucky!! I live in Gibraltar and know the roads around Ronda well. Had you not hit a rock face you could've plummeted off a mountain to your untimely death!! Everyone thinks they are Jorge on those roads. It gets loco at times. The worst I saw was in the car with my girlfriend driving. Some bikers st the side if the road. Tells my girlfriend to stop to see if we could assist. The tried chasing me away. Automatically I counted the bikers and the bikes and realised something was very wrong. Some poor cunt had come off and went under the crash barrier. His crash helmet didn't. He may have fallen to his death anyway, but to be decapitated in front of your pals and for me to see his vacant face in an lid at the side of the road was horrific. Thankfully since then , due to other fatalities and many campaigns by bikers the Spanish authorities have listened and almost all of theses barriers have been replaced . Stay safe, stay free.

[@peterbalac1915]

Question Pete, do you ever think about that poor guy getting decapitated when you're out on the bike giving it some beans? When I was younger 25 ish there was a young lad in our village his dad had a bike shop he was 18 had an fz750 then changed to a 1000 exup,great lad had real skills on a bike. Always popped a wheelie when he came past my house thumb up big grin, he was killed in a collision with a car on an off camber bend the bike was just on his side of the Road but he was hanging off it connected with the front door pillar at speed so I was told. A mate i ride out with was manager of a waste disposal tip was doing his rounds came across the accident he said to the copper was there anything he could do to help he replied were looking for a helmet and a head, i often think of that when I'm out especially if I'm getting a wriggle on puts things into perspective. RIP Kev never forgotten ❤🤙

[@tonypammen3398]

Years ago, was visiting friends for dinner. There's a dull bang and the squealing of train brakes from the elevated train track that runs right past the house.
