Guy on a Gixxer6 or 750 overcooks a right-hander at Deal’s Gap USA, slams into a van and loses his “safety sneaker” in the impact. Fantastic case of right place, right time for the photographer… Or then again, did this guy overcook the corner trying to get himself posterized? If so, he might not be that keen on blowing these ones up for his bedroom wall… Great photos!</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=7-2.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="7-2" title="7-2"/><span id="more-155"></span></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=6-2.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="6-2" title="6-2"/></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=5-2.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="5-2" title="5-2"/></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=4-2.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="4-2" title="4-2"/></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=3-2.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="3-2" title="3-2"/></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=2-3.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="2-3" title="2-3"/></a></p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/Deals%20Gap%20Crash"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445im_/http://www.thebikergene.com/gallery/zen/i.php?a=Deals%20Gap%20Crash&i=1-3.jpg&w=500&h=" class="ZenPress_thumb" alt="1-3" title="1-3"/></a></p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203215" target="_blank">Gixxer forums</a>, via Gromit @ <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://bikeme.tv/">BikeME.</a></p> <small> You can <a href="#respond">leave a response</a>, or <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/sportsbikes/ripper-road-crash-captured-on-film-deals-gap/trackback/" rel="trackback">trackback</a> from your own site. </small> <div class="next_prev"> <div class="prev">« <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/racing/australian-wsbk-race-2-results-ben-spies-makes-amends-haga-2nd-leon-haslam-3rd/">Australian WSBK Race 2 results: Ben Spies makes amends, Haga 2nd, Leon Haslam 3rd.</a></div> <br> <div class="next"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://www.thebikergene.com/sportsbikes/sydneys-superbike-club-membership-has-its-advantages/">Sydney’s Superbike Club - membership has its advantages.</a> »</div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div>  <h3>8 Responses to “Ripper road crash captured on film @ Deal’s Gap”</h3> <ol id="comments"> <li class="even" id="comment-6355"> <cite><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091021123445/http://cohobot.blogspot.com/" rel="external nofollow">coho</a></cite> Says: <br/> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-6355" title="">March 13th, 2009 at 2:31 am</a> </small> <p>“D’oh.”</p> <p>Oh, wait, I mean “D’arwin.”</p> </li> <li id="comment-6356"> <cite>Jason</cite> Says: <br/> <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-6356" title="">March 13th, 2009 at 6:52 am</a> </small> <p>I’ve never hit car on the track.
