I'm inclined to agree, a few overtakes I probably wouldnt have attempted, but then its hard to judge distances from cr*ppy on board cameras like that.

Just poor forwards obs for the roadworks, maybe trying to hard to keep up with his mates, and also as the TL is crashing, theres already a bike on the floor so possibly some target fixation due to tryiing to avoid the bike thats already down...

yeah, I've just watched it through and didnt see any technical problem with their riding at all. A policeman might have a different view though, especially with some of those car overtakes.

No idea why the first guy dropped it as the video isnt good enough but I think the camera guy simply crapped it when he saw his mate down, then followed him across the rode.

Ignoring accidents is something that takes practice, especially on the track. I had to duck under a guy who highsided into the air at Oulton last year and I can honestly say I never took my eye off the corner exit with him in my peripheral vision.

More back luck than bad riding on the video.

just out of interest, what would the law say about using the 'other' side of the road for obs when safe to do so. (just so i know for future reference)

Since when have those two been synonymous?

Lol you will not get much respect from anyone if you think that riding within the law means the same thing as safe.

You still sound sanctimonious to me.

How long have you been riding?

This is like an SV.org soap opera. Frankly i'm hooked and feel i'm missing out.

Judging by the amount of dust in the air prior to the camera bike going down I'd say that was a particularly dirty piece of tarmac that offered no grip
