i think hoffy, cath and dave3 will liek that video.

we had a little episode of a bike overshooting a corner and couldve quite easily have been the same,

he over shot not just one but 2 lanes, bit liek that bloke.

not a nice vid eh?

It was a very risky move in the first place, but just before he hit the oncoming bike, is that a front wheel slide ? Doesn't look too much lean though, maybe just too fast.

Pity the guy coming the other way wasn`t driving a semi

You gotta lean to get around corners, his bike was upright

f**in IDIOT.

He just missed that first bloke that rode past....

He looked to me like he was totally out riding himself, right up to the impact.

I doubt either of those blokes will be the same after that prang.

This sort of thing really gives me the shits, you see it all the time on all the good roads, test pilots who are on machinery which way outclasses their ability, running wide, belting walls and other road users.

The few times I ride the OPH per year, I can't help but notice how many thick black brake-lock-up lines their are on the road, sometimes crossing to the other side of the road, over the oncoming lane.
Some of em even end in bent guardrails/rock walls etc...

Not saying I'm perfect and have never made a mistake, but some riders really should learn the throttle turns both ways.

*ahem* rant over.

Agreed man, totally outriding his ability, had no idea how to take the corner at that speed and then decided to target fixate............bloody moron

If you need to ride like that to feel tough, at least have the skill to back it up

Oh and the guy who got hit defintaly wont be the same, the poster of the video said ''no,hi is survived,but the other rider is died in the field.the guility man is still at hospital :s''.

Throw the book at him
