View Full Version : Colin Edwards Saves it!
alive226 03-31-2008, 09:21 AM I don't know if any of you saw this, but I saw it posted on another site. Nicky Hayden did just about the same thing during the race, but not quite to the extent Colin took it. I think Nicky even did it in the same turn, but I'm not positive about that. Check it out!

sassage 03-31-2008, 09:49 AM incredible....thank God for extra padding :D
FL02SupaHawk996 03-31-2008, 09:57 AM That's some masterful riding and a good piece of luck! Nice use of the ole elbow to keep the bike off the track:eek:
Great save, and great post save reaction by Edwards. Check out this one.http://youtube.com/watch?v=BGKhkO-SsDk
flatlander 03-31-2008, 11:45 AM :shock: Both videos are blowing my mind. That vid of Colin shows just how comfortable and calm the pros are at riding on the edge.
Moto Man 03-31-2008, 11:54 AM Did you see the save Lorenzo made in the same race?
nnjhawk02 03-31-2008, 11:59 AM Yes, yes & yes
Nicky was at same turn> Him 4th was great - didn't have a problem w/ finish results, except for the guy who won.
Jorge Lorenzo's must have switched off the traction control out of that turn, a wheelie w/ a tank slapper - it was a save & a beaut.

that one is a classic save...I still can't believe it every time I see it. Don't know if he's lucky or good

I'd say lucky+good+a guardian angel working overtime.
smack doogle 03-31-2008, 01:47 PM Amazing, watch him during the rest of that qaulifing lap where he's just "cruising". Him cruising = me going as fast as possible with still a lower time than him just "cruising". Crazy talent and balls, I don't know how they can stay seated with balls that big.
nuhawk 03-31-2008, 08:18 PM The bigger the rollers the better the ass moves over the seat of the bike. Masterful talent. Awesome!
RCVTR 04-02-2008, 07:49 AM Calm, cool and collected. He's lowsided so many times, the thought doesn't bother him. Especially since somebody esle buys his motorcycles.
I have read in the past his description of using his knee to lift the bike and get the tires back on the ground. It is also a good gauge of lean angle. Pretty amazing how the tire just let go at steady-state in the middle of the turn. Normally it happens at corner entry.

Yeah, that's the MOST amazing save I've ever seen. Pretty sure that's V. Rossi.
Tonyizcool1 04-02-2008, 07:18 PM Sweet. I wish I could have done that the morning I lowsided.

I thought so too at first, but that bike wears a #1 plate/decal and I don't think Rossi, even as reigning champ, has ever run anything but #46.
I searched around but can't find who it is or when or where it was.
RCVTR 04-03-2008, 09:52 AM Definitely #5 Colin Edwards.
L8RGYZ 04-03-2008, 04:53 PM Definitely #5 Colin Edwards.
Talking about the other video. Appears to be on a 250 or some such. Looks like his style of helmet. Anyway I remember someone saying it was him, for whatever that's worth.
jerseymike68 09-03-2009, 01:08 AM I have the Corsa too and love it, my brother got his used from craigslist but I wanted a valid warranty so I got it here. Corsa Exhaust 14218 (http://allexhaust.com/product.php?productid=1187?odj), or you can try one of the sponsors here on the forum, they are allways having sales/specials. Either way its a great exhaust system, sounds great, and very easy to install.
