    Will just keep trundling along at my own speed, watching around me, and not caring what anyone else thinks of my speed. Am a Carthorse, not a Cheetah.
    Just call me Smoggie.

    Did u see how he straightned up when he saw the oncomming bike? This vid was done intentionally as someone pointed out but I can see a nubie hit his brakes when confronted with that situation and stand the bike up... actually ll correct myself even experienced riders might freeze up... a very very good post indeed. We all need to be reminded every now and again that we are afterall only human and must make leeway for our mistakes. ALWAYS KEEP UR LINE IF U CANT, SLOW DOWN - IF U DONT WANT TO- STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS VIDEO.

    (though a little fun is ok, thats y we ride bikes afterall). the above footage did not look like fun. I didnt read the post at first just jumpped on to the vid n I was like wtf is tht retard doin. anyways...

    Ride Safe and Responsibly.
    Peace Raj.

    damn i HATE that corner, now i know why...

    Always much prefer the gov bay side of dyers pass road esp after travelling it every day for a couple of years, not so many cars on that side. They all go to say "wow" at the view then along the top and down again.
    As for the vid... scary shit, but why did he go further to the left? I found that odd, esp for a right hand driver/rider

    Overtaking like that is just plain unacceptable.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
