An odd 2 bike crash

I have not seen this before..

 

Bloody amazing!

I think the green bike was pissed off at the white bike and was
hell-bent on "giving it some."

The rider of the green bike was pissed off because his bike would have run
all the rubber off one side of the tyre.
But, it did take the flag marshalls a long time to actually get there.

 

Why do these bikes not stall?

Because the handlebars are locked and the throttle on the bike with the
wheel on the ground is obviously pinned open.

When I was racing bikes, I saw so many bikes fall over and jam on the
throttle,
So I designed and built a device which was routed through the spark and cut
out when it got to a certain rev
It was also matched up with a mercury switch, which made the engine miss
when it got over a certain angle of lean.
I used it and it worked well, then I showed it to someone and being a
helpful person that I am, I gave them the prototype,
They then proceeded to re-design it and put it out on the market.
It cost me about $5 to make.
A few other riders at the time, made a cut-out pull rope switch thingy which
they had attached to their wrist and if they fell off, the rope would pull
the cut-out from the switch and shut the motor down.
That cost about $2 to make

 

Most modern sportsbikes have the first one. It's called a bank angle
sensor in Honda speak or a tip switch. Great idea. If the bike is on
its' side it cuts out instantly.

Not what you want on a race bike though, so if the class regulations
don't require it, I doubt anyone would leave one intact.

Sidecar racers used to be required to have a kill cord, if you parted
company with the bike then the cord pulled and shut the engine off. I
believe speedway riders are required to have one too.

It's well known technology dunno why road racers aren't required to
have it.

Superbikes had it as far back as I remember and the top end 600 racers had
it too.

with the bike then the cord pulled and shut the engine off. I
