so you ignore the advice of a superbike racer and then shrug off any responsibility when that advice would have saved your bacon?

No actually,when i heard him say that i pondered the road from Fox to Hokitika which would be my favourite road on a bike and wondered how enjoyable it would be following his guidelines,i then thought bugger it i will take my chances.The never cross a road in case theres a car you dont see theory just doesnt work for me.Theres many corners on many roads that even if you took at under the advised speed limit and were confronted with something spanning both lanes you could do nothing about.As for shrugging responsibility ive never thought about it like that,to me it was just bad luck,wrong place wrong time i guess.The best brakes and the best reactions wouldnt have made any difference in that particular accident/crash.
