Watching the video back, I see a couple of places I 'could' have gone for the overtake. And its easy for me to think that when I don't have my death less than a meter away in the wrong direction... - but why take chances like that? I ride for a nice time; its not a race. |

At the end of the day so long as it's done in a manner that is polite and respectful, within the rules of the forum, not abusive, not aggressive, not offensive, not sarcastic unless you are being humorous , treat people the same way as you would face to face, then you should be able to speak your mind, and say whatever you like.

Haha, so true so true. That's a very beautiful stretch of road by the way. And nice vid mate. Travelling to France in a bit so will be taking in some tremendous mountain roads. "J'espere ils traiter moi bien!"

Two things, that Volvo driver was a bit erratic and all over the place so I don't blame you for not being in a rush to overtake. Also, I've ridden roads like that a fair bit and I know exactly what you mean about the drops and certain death, it dominates your focus, I would ride on the opposite side when clear so I'm further away lol. I've ridden some mountain passes in the French alps that have no barrier, no kerb, no bollards, nothing, so when you have nothing there it's even worse. |

Until then, it doesn't mean much. Not to say advice is irrelevant. Its a fool who ignores experience. But its also easy to be critic at distance. Damn I even criticise Valentino Rossi for riding crap in Moto GP! Specialone, I've seen some of your threads with the amazing Mountain Road photo's. But have you put anything together in the touring section? You must have a great idea of some amazing roads and locations that we can visit. Purity14, re-title your vid and add some descrioption/tags. Its a nice vid for people to find and definitely worth more than 9 views Last edited by Runako; 15-06-13 at 08:27 AM. |

Funny isn't it, they bin it or mess up a corner and we're the first ones shouting about how much better it should have been done at 200mph and then on the Sunday we go out and wobble round a roundabout at 40mph.

Whether critical feedback is welcome is again entirely down to the recipient, and whether or not their open minded and honest enough with themselves to receive it. Put things in an internet forum however, and don't be surprised if you get some. BTW, I don't carry a camera on my helmet and have no interest in doing so, so I won't be posting any videos.
