..... but it could have been any of us
It's gonna happen sooner or later
let he who is without sin cast the first 'yeah well .... I'd have been here, and would have positioned there ...' etc
If you put the vid on 5:05 (or in slow mo 5:15) and stop it dead, you can see that he's starting to peel himself in, to set himself up for the left hander in the distance. But crucially, there's a fragment of road he's not 'cleared' for want of a better word.
Did he know the road? Who knows, and food for thought is the old adage of 'always ride a road like you don't know it'.
Do I 'clear' every bit of tarmac before I turn in and position?? Hand on heart? Probably not. I try to, but on a road I know it's all too easy to get the bit between your teeth and start having a play - and that's why I say let he who is without sin and all that ..
Have a look at the pic below;
From where the pic is taken, most riders would be peeling in towards the crown of the road (if not further) to set themselves up for the left hander. But there's inches... inches!! of road that we haven't quite seen (cleared) tucked away in the corner. What if there's a junction there just like in the video, and on my fandangled LC1200, I've just cracked the throttle open and am really winding it up to 80, 90 plus? Naughty? Irresponsible? Tell me you don't do it yourselves ..
And worthy of mention again, is Car A posts. Never under estimate the huge blind spots these cause - although the video example is rural and probably too quick for eye contact , if your urban, always think 'is their A post blinding me..'
(see the bike behind the A post ??)
