Cars cutting corners

[Duke girl]

Whether you like it or not the roads are not only used by motorcyclists but are also use by cyclists, car drivers and truck drivers to which means you have always got to have your wits about you while out there riding on them. You can always guarantee that while travelling along a windy awesome piece of road that you will come accross car drivers who consistently driver either close to the centre line or over it, therefore making you be very wary of it. I have always wished that it would be good to have an only motorcycle day out on the roads, cos then we could be car free and not have to worry about it happening. How awesome would that be making all car drivers stay home for 24 hrs.

Which is why I late apex the corner.....
IMHO, it is 4WD that most often cut corners...usually driven by women too, I might add

Exactly what she said..... Late apex the corner allows for -
1. your cock of going in to hot
2. someone elses cock up of cutting the corner towards you
3. random shit on the road you couldnt see making you slip or go wide!

Its not the fastest line around a corner but its the way to survive.

fair enough but what about when you are concentrating on your ride even taking it easy and you nearly get taken out? who's at fault you for taking it easy or the ass hole you nearly ended your ride and maybe even your life?

Concentration is indeed how one survives. The trick is to NOT direct too much of it on yourself.
