What's the term I'm looking for here?

When a biker goes where they're looking and not where they want to go i.e. running wide when he or she is looking to the outside of the corner instead of through the bend? Or when a driver in traffic steers onto a filtering bike when they are watching it in their lights?

Observational something?

Something steering?

Target fixation?

Retarded? (no offence to any fellow retards about )

Cheers Luke. Nice one.

I was gonna say what are you doing up at this time but what am I doing up at this time?!

I need to do a bit of spying on you to see what you're up to. Hope you're on two wheels again. Bring on the barmy British summer. You lucky sod.
Night, or Morning!

Brain freeze can affect the best of us.

Bit naughty that Greek. Now think about what you've done.

Was temporarily on 2 wheels on sunday, here:

But that was just a hire bike. Doesn't look like I'm going to be back on 2 wheels for at least 6 months. Need to sell my old flat - then I have options! Well unless I borrow now with the knowledge that I'll be getting this money in 6 months... but I'd rather wait and buy something outright.

I also have to buy from the UK and ship it as used Duke sportbikes here are waaaay too expensive for my liking and I have a return ticket for the beginning of June

Most likely contender at the moment is a 996SPS if I can find the right one...

Observationally Challenged?

Not very well done steering?

They are "CRAFT" moments,---------as in roadcraft

As has been pointed out - this one is a case of Target Fixation.

This however, is a case of Cager Retardation.
