How the hell did this happen?

They're riding irresponsibly but there's nothing wrong with their road positioning, it shows an understanding of forward obs very neatly.

Crash clearly caused by focus on one thing only to the detriment of important factors, signs, surfaces etc.

Nice riding - in the wrong place though.

Thanks, you've saved me posting exactly the same thing.

Trying too hard to keep up there. Seems pretty handy in places but the going ******ing round corners with junctions on is asking for trouble.

The first bit of the video was OK.

But then they lost they're mates and you could see they were taking additional risks and it was getting abit brave.

The poor obs for the up and coming road works was the issue here I think.

Some of the wrong side of the road action was 'slightly' innapropriate. Although there is nothing wrong with it in its self. I ride occasionaly with someone who is ROSPA gold and an examiner who uses all the road that available when its safe to do so and aids progress.

I think they were an accident waiting to happen.

Terrible riding standards.

Normal sign by the looks of it, actually marked as 50, wouldn't mind betting its due to the junction and not the road works, there are roadworks signs before the speed sign though.

Think No3 was more observant that the others as he/she made it through the bend

What complete and utter cobblers. I thought they were riding bloody well until the slide and crash. When me and my mates go for a ride we're sat the same sort of speed and pace, and we don't have accidents or cause any. Ogden will back me up on this, we've ridden together a few times at probably a faster pace than this.

Some people are able to ride fast and safe, never judge anyone by your own standards, no matter how high you might think they are.

Unless your name is Valentino Rossi there is always someone out there who is faster and better than you.

I was wondering whether there was any footage from NW2 when we tore up them sportsbikes

C'mon, a bunch of mates playing catch up, nasty road state and attention to warnings caught them out, heck a lot of us would miss signs at that speed...By no means was the riding bad, I actually think it was very good, there were possibly a couple of areas where he squared up a little early on a left hander and couldfn't see from the cam, but it looks like the cam is just above the front fender so the rider can poss see more...
