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.

Riding on the wrong side of the road and overtaking on bends. That what gives us bikers a bad name.

Yes ride fast but do it with safety in mind for yourself and other road users.

Wrong side of the road is often the best point to see what is coming, overtaking on the bends is a problem.

I'll happily overtake on a bend with a good view, so don't rule it out completely.

yeah but I don't see how this has suddenly turned into a theoretical debate on how to ride. Watch the video if they were dangerous then comment lol I'm goign to have to rewatch

My only comment on the video is that I want to ride that road
My riding is nowhere near enough to put me in a position to air my thoughts on other peoples riding.

Yip but those bends were blind.

Well i didnt like there riding style much. There was too many risky over taking manouvers going on, squeezing into gaps in traffic and overtaking on blind corners. The first part was fine, they were using all of 'their' side of the road to strighten corners and get better visability ahead, it was when they caught up with the traffic that , for me, problems occured.

Troy Bayliss.....

There were a few bends where they looked like they were lucky the driver coming the otherway was driving safely, if they had of been too far over or too fast on soem of the bends it would've been byebye bikers.
Camera man was definitely struggling, I'm sure I could here tyres screeching on some bends too

Neither is a cam the best way.

Lots of people criticise other peoples overtaking etc with absolutely no idea what the overtaking rider can see. Overtake on a bend... fine if you can see what's coming. Get it wrong and it's going to hurt.

IMO on the corner this guy fell off on he was going way faster than his observational speed, otherwise he would have seen the bad surface earlier.

The actual riding before that looks fine, but the corners with junctions on them should IMO be taken a lot slower, cars are slow enough that they can pull out onto a road that looks clear, and you going hammering round will catch them totally unaware. Leaving you in a tarmac surfing position.
