Knew he was too close to that inside line for the right hander. Its obvious hes a coasting type rider and this type of riding doesnt suit him. He didnt counter steer.... I mean wtf.

Re: A very close call
I'd like to hope I wouldn't make that mistake, but like little old man said - best not to tempt fate.
Personally I think the re-join was much worse...... Don't think I'd have been very happy if I was the other rider. |

Re: A very close call
Typical inconsiderate rider if you ask me, I mean is it really necessary to ride everywhere on full beam.

Re: A very close call
The numpties in this thread are the ones that call him for it because we've ALL overcooked it at some time or other.
All of us! X |

Re: A very close call
Some of the comments in this thread about what he did wrong are claptrap. If you don't really know what you're talking about - stop typing! But yeah the guy is riding beyond his ability, simples.
