...a junction or an entrance to a farmers field.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3vctLAvlkgo Why is it that bushes always like nice and soft, but when you ride into one they always stab in all the wrong places. |

lucky very lucky, but the corner did not seem that sharp, what went wrong did you not lok through it enough, and fixated on the bush???

Didn't notice your helmet turn to look round the corner. Where was this out of curiosity, I'm assuming its localish to both of us?
Anyway, glad you came out unscathed, bet you were glad to get home! |

Also, riding roads like that, with a decent view I'd sit closer to the middle of the road, not the middle of the lane that isn't marked

Jesus christ dude, get yourself on a bike safe course.....3 occasions on one ride where if the runoff had been into a wall, up a kerb, or into a group of people it could have been a whole lot worse.

You really need to get some cornering practise. Look around the bend, not at the bush/road. And you really need to lean the bike a lot more. Very lucky

The view is kinda like being pillion, so I'm traumatised by watching that.
If I really was on the back, your kidneys would be so bruised you'd pee claret... |

Before I reply here was the route I was on: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=93564
After adapting it it come to a total of 197 miles of pure riding with no stops. It didn't help that the tire was just above the legal limit. Quote:

If you watch the video very slowly you will see just before hitting the bush I managed to lock the rear wheel, kick the rear to the right so I went slightly side on and missed the main part. I felt like I was leaning the bike over enough because I got my toe down once and covered 95% of the extremely squared off tire. Just something I'll put down to experience and learn from. |
