Yammie Noob is a YouTube vlogger who creates and promotes content about riding motorcyles. He’s popular enough that he’s amassed over 138,000 subscribers in a very short period of time. Unfortunately, he also appears to be a bit reckless having suffered two, in my opinion, very avoidable crashes over what looks to be just a short 6-months. While I’m not a fan, nor do I subscribe, his name popped up on my radar when a reader forwarded the picture you see below.
This is the type of Porsche Tattoo none of us ever want to get.
From what we’ve been able to piece together, Yammie Noob was involved in an accident with a Porsche back on April 8th. Allegedly, he was returning from a couple of days at a track event with a group of other motorcycles, and was riding on the wrong side of the road, when he hit an on coming Porsche head-on.
One of the other riders in Yammie’s group had a helmet camera rolling, and in the gif above we actually see the moment after the Porsche and Yammie collide.
The screen shot above appears to show Yammie flying through the air, literally head over heals.
And this is what’s left of the Porsche. We haven’t been able to locate the driver of the Porsche to get a report on his condition. We can only hope that he’s doing okay and and makes a full recovery.
We do know from Yammie’s Instagram account that he did survive the crash and is currently in physical therapy. He goes on to say that he’s currently unable to walk and lists his injuries as follows:
- broken humerus ulna and radius in 5 different places
- nerve damage to his right hand
- ripped ligament in his left hand
- 3 fractured vertebrae
- fractured right hip
- sprained both ankles
I’d say he’s damn lucky to be alive. Let’s be safe out there folks. Most of us know to keep our speed to the track but it’s hard to account for idiots like this Yammie character. The facebook image and caption below make it sound like Yammie was the only one to go to the hospital. Hopefully, that means the Porsche driver walked away just a bit bruised and with his new tattoo. If anyone knows the condition of the Porsche driver involved in the accident please let us know in the comments below.

*If you’re wondering why we haven’t linked to any of Yammie’s social media accounts (other than embedding the picture from Instagram) it’s because we don’t want to help promote him in any way…

No need to comment, sorry for the Porsche driver, if the rider was on the wrong side of the road.
Stupid and careless people like Yammie can kill innocent people.
There is no excuse for that on a public road.
While we all want to be better drivers, and courses or track time can help us be better drivers, we must always be mindful of others on the road. Whether on a track or public road, a better driver is aware of his surroundings and other traffic - and drives accordingly.
My sympathies to the Porsche driver who was (apparently) safely enjoying his car when this happened.
What an ass. Hope he has good liability insurance.
The Porsche driver is alive but also not doing the best.

Unfortunately the Cayman driver was also seriously injured and his Cayman has been totaled. Please see his GoFundMe page, the motorcyclist's insurance was woefully inadequate and the Cayman owner is facing major losses on both his car and his medical bills. https://www.gofundme.com/cayman-s-accident-recovery
As a rider who quit reading Yammie Noob's stuff after his FIRST totally avoidable accident, I still feel like it's the pressure to be entertaining that had him doing more and more asinine things. I feel bad that the guy hurt someone else - certainly not a poster child for responsible motorcycling.
