I personally think it proves him wrong.

Your thoughts?

Too bad he wasn't riding a BMW with ABS. Other than that, his fault.

Accelerating or maintaining speed into a developing situation. Biker in the wrong, simple. Quite apart from his slow reaction to the cars' brake lights...

Quite common for dasmcamers and goproerrs... its like they deliberately amplify the danger to get good footage to rant about but overcook it sometimes.
Hard to tell but that red car looks like it did the classic trap of swinging the other way first to make sure their 90ft trailer made it in the driveway with them.

Up north earlier in the week I caught up to a beaten up old Caldina, we were in scrubby gorse undeveloped wild area (axle country), was closing up looking for pass on the next straight....
Then it happened the classic peel to the left like their letting you past followed by the simultaneous indicate and right turn into concealed drug crop driveway on blind crest....
I avoided collision comfortably due to experience but couldn't help think he would have nailed a less experienced rider easily.

The Aussie crash.... yeah looks slow reaction and could have maonouevered for glancing collision going behnd....

The lost cargo on free way, classic target fixation....

And a racing incident or two.... why are these guys standing on outside of a corner???? We don't need another OSH investigation ending another good sports events. The two filmers here could have been easy casulaties....

From the riders own words....

Bought a brand new motorcycle after hitting my quarter life crisis, no idea how to ride, but felt confident in my natural abilities. Placed an insurance policy on it 30 minutes prior to the events in the video. Called insurance company back and shocked them when I asked to make a claim... "

"Brake brake brake brake brake, omg..."

What was going through his mind? "Which one is the brake?" "Ooooh look at that amazing garage dooooooooorrrrrrrrr!" "Wheeeeee, shiiiiiiiitttttt!" " Shut up you stupid woman, I know what I'm....." (Unfinished sentence)

No boots

Very lucky and the bike has no more than minor scrapes and a snapped lever.

What a fkn tool

When your so dumb your going to show everyone on the interwebs as well.

Excuse me this is a car one but really shows how anything can happen anytime very well.
Don't know when happened but DUI crosses centreline. This is a good bit of road that used to be 100k but now 70 due to more businesses along there. Still a busy route and shocking to see someone with no lights suddenly clip island and cross centreline....

Came across this vid the other day kinda by accident...
I think it's a really good illustration of all the things you shouldn't do while cornering.
Also what happens when a really cool guy thinks that buying a really cool bike will make him even cooler. When what he really needs is a year on a LAM and some training!

Why was he riding with his foot flat on the ground ?
