Yet another Coromandel fatality

I realise some riders make mistakes and cross the centre line, that I would put down to a lack of skills. The riders that really fuck me off are the ones who choose to cross the centre line, for example to over take a car on a blind corner. They are the retards.

Gotta love all the hind sight expert wankers in here who have never over shot a corner, sped around blind corners, fucked up bike/vehicle placement blind corners on their SPORTS bikes.

Thanks for reminding me why I never ride North.

Yes, the road is a great place to test out the response time of our medical services.

A friend's son who returned from Coro today was in the area and it would seem from all accounts that an overtaking bike met another oncoming bike near the centreline on a bend.

I never claimed I haven't fucked anything up whilst riding. In fact I have a permanent reminder lol. But I can't understand why anyone would overtake on a blind bend.

(Not that I'm insinuating that's what happened in this accident whatsoever. I'm just making a general comment)

Because they are a rebel that's why.

I call it an "oh shit" moment, and this is why I haven't ridden the Coro loop and probably won't for a long time - because I don't want to have an "oh shit" moment there!

I dont do the coro loop because I dont want to meet up with a Lorenzo wannabe having an "oh shit" moment.

Yep followed riders through there who have gone over the centre line. SURE FREAKS YOU OUT in those split seconds waiting for something coming the other way. I don't ride with those people any more.

RIP rider

Yep and have done so also. Not for a long time as I learnt the lesson real quick. The guys I used to ride with were 200kph on the straignhts and never learnt to go round corners or realise where they were at skill wise

Yeah, but the lesson has to be LEARNT - teaching ("taught) counts for diddely squat if the lesson ain't going into the brain and staying there.

I was going to ride it this week, thinking that midweek will be quieter than weekends but I'm not so sure now.
