The NW 200 is a famous Irish Road Racing course and Simon Andrews is a fairly well known rider who has competed in World Superbike and British Superbike. He's in critical condition and I hear he's expected to pull through.

Move along if this isn't your thing but I know we have some motorcycle race fans on here.



ETA: He did end up dying. Let's hope the TT doesn't have more I incidents like this.

Road racers are crazy motherfrickers. Love watching that series.

Sure the races are entertaining, but nothing's better than the videos of the guys on sport bikes messing with cops and outrunning tickets.

I first heard that his chances looked good but just learned that he died about an hour ago. Very sad news in the motorcycle racing community.

These road racing events are deadly and the Isle of Man TT is coming up.

It wasn't private when I posted it. I think it got a ton of attention and they pulled it when they found out he died.

Good Lord. I just hope he was already out by that point. Damn, I hope his family does not see that.

yeah, seeing it in full speed is disturbing to say the least. It really shows how dangerous of a sport motorcycle racing really is.
