    Target fixation and humor aside, here is a really good example of the lack of counter steering....or how intuative steering can go wrong.

    Moments before impact he sees the parked car...his reaction (Other than a string of profanities) is to turn the handle bars away from the car....and as a result you see in the last couple of meters, he appears to turn into the parked car....

    And another thing....Qkkid.....reposting an embedded image like that clip, will get you an infraction....and this I do know.

    DAMN,and the other bike ran him over. I crashed a brand new Hilux ute into the back of a taxi looking at a pair of very large and unrestrained mammorys bouncing across the footpath.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    You're forgiven! Now if you'd crashed looking at your own reflection in shop windows, you would not be forgiven.

    The second bike seemed to have a fixation of its own, it appeared to be lining up for the gap in the traffic way ahead and not noticing what was happening close by as it too head right and into the crashing bike.
