Looks like the rider is 100% at fault don't you think?

That would not seem to be a good illustration of target fixation. He didn't hit the car. He was just going waaaaay too fast for his abiity to take the corner.

I thought it seemed like he could have easily taken it had he kept looking through it. Assumed he was looking at the car as it came around and by then it was too late to tighten the line as he was heading for it.

60/40 to the twats... They're the ones with the youtube channel 'for the hits'. Good example here:


Plenty of strange crashes from these guys in their other vids. Darwin will sort it.

That video made me pretty angry. What a pair of idiots. The backfiring was hilarious but damn, scaring families and stuff and riding like idiots everywhere is pretty rude.

In another video he accidently wheelies from an intersection and drops the bike in the middle of the intersection, cracks the case and oil pours all over the road

In a classic example of target fixation he would have centre punched the car. There is an attachment I have posted before but it would appear to have some relevance here...

He he. The inscription says, the bike will always go where the rider is looking

Wow what a pair of fucking wankers.

I bet he looked at it more directly and for longer than he should have though. If the car hadn't been there he may well have stayed entirely within his own lane.

The wheelie was accidental and they're learner riders. They're also teenagers/in their early 20s. I'm sure you were young once?

They're easily not as reckless as the guy on the Panigale, kinda random to compare the two really.

If you can read, go back and re read what I wrote... I said it was accidental, still stupid and he narrowly missed crashing into the side of the other cars he had filtered past. I was young once yep, but I didn't go round filming my fuck ups so I could get a youtube following. That crash was one of many, even in the intro the other guy nearly goes over then bars stopping for an intersection.

Again if you read what I wrote I wasn't compering It to the other video... It was in reply to Berries comment about how strapping a cam to your helmet turns you into a fuckwit. These guys are prime examples. I did have a laugh watching though.

I saw, and I was simply reiterating that it was accidental. Were GoPros around when you were younger? If not, you can hardly judge those two guys for doing what they do. You may have very well done the same if in the same opportunity at the same age.

Strapping a camera to your helmet turns you into a fuckwit as much as riding a motorcycle turns you into a gang member. Laughing at someone else's misfortune kinda makes you the fuckwit.

Jesus, im hardly old.

Like I said 60/40 to the twats.... Not 100% like you seem to think I think.

Straping a camera on and being a fuckwit then showing the world hardly helps motorcyclists image does it.

Sorry, didn't mean for it to come across like I think you're old and jaded. Just irks me a bit when people get too judgey about the antics of younger people or people who have every right to film their riding if they want to.

Back to the topic of the Panigale and the whole tangent of talking while riding and uploading the footage – I don't see a problem with it at all so long as it doesn't endanger anyone else or anyone else's property. In the OPs video this obviously isn't the case however.

You could even argue that riding with a camera makes you somewhat more accountable for your riding and your actions.
