Default Re: New Video - Crossgates to Newtown Run on an SV650 (Epic Road)

I was waiting for such a comment! Frankly I'm dissapointed its taken so long. Obviously I included it in the footage on purpose. My ulterior motive is to start a debate about what's right or wrong about this type of riding, but as no one mentioned anything the debate never started.

My feeling here was that I was totally at one with the capabilities of the bike and saw this moment in slow motion at the time. I perceived that I had more than enough time to get out of the way in time. However, its clear the driver feels differently. In my view this is partly down to some naevity from drivers about a bike's ability to accelerate and manoeuvre out of trouble. Of course, this very much depends on the rider and conditions, and if both are poor then the margin for error is far smaller ...

... did is just big myself up?
