Re: A very close call
This thread is quite polar.
Its filled with those who know what they're talking about and those with no bloody clue! |

Re: A very close call
He's lucky he's not dead, and he did well to stay up and not hit the other two, I'm sure he learned his lesson, ride within your limits.

Re: A very close call
I was only joking anyway. He was lucky not to get hit.
Could see which corner he was about to **** up on eaassssssiiiiiilyyy because it clearly looked like he was going way too fast. Either way I'm sure he won't be trying that corner that quickly again. |

Re: A very close call
I've just watched this a few times over and his speed at the entrance to the bend was under 90 ( mph I assume) so not overly fast for that bend, I admit it's quicker than I'd take but I'm crap, but he couldve easily shaved 20 mph off that speed very quickly but chose not to.
IMO, I think he got out the groove and target fixated so didn't take evasive action until way over the wrong side of the road. Either way, let's hope he learnt from it. |

Re: A very close call
I meant too fast compared to the previous corners he'd been taking.

It takes a long time to learn your craft , even some of the old Dogs get taught a lesson sometimes , but getting to be an old Dog in the saddle isn`t just blind luck ... it`s because you had "moments" and learnt from them . As a nipper on a 2 Stroke , I learnt a lot in that time ......... Lots of lessons that have stayed with me to this day . Then graduating to more powerful bikes came with a whole bunch of other lessons that needed to be learnt , but I already had a foundation to work from . Probably a lot of holes in what I have said , but I am distracted at the moment by knockers on the TV |
