ooops! you never know what the rider infront is going to do :wink:

Hard to tell who's responsible, the rear rider for being too close, or the front rider for pulling across his path.

Whatever, I hope (probably misplaced, given the speed) that nobody was hurt.

Definately the back riders fault, serves him right, no sympathy at all, i wonder if they are still mates, (assuming they were before the ride). even if the front rider did pull across his path he couldn't have been expecting him to come up behind him at that speed.

A shoulder check would have prevented it.

Don't think so... He was going round a corner after all, do you shoulver check before turning in? I don't... After all, what's he going to do, go straight on if there's someone there?

Ed 09-01-07 10:00 PM

No of course not, as to both. But he must have known that the other bloke (assume it was a bloke) was so close, he mightn't have turned in just at that precise moment. OK I'm clutching at straws :oops:

What a stupid accident to have. 100% the on-bike camera guy's fault. Too close, too fast, too slow to react.

Warren 10-01-07 01:43 AM

i dont blame the front rider at all to be honest, as northy says, its a corner, you can only really go one way.
