    C'mon man, we've both overcooked it many times before. It's a fucken easy corner to do it on too, with the corner entry so out of site when you start braking and lining it up.

    Obviously the guy should have just veered left and held the brakes till he ran into the gravel, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    Thats got be worst thing have on your bike or car. everone see goes feck and passes you at speed.

    I suspect they work out us newbies but to me ones with more exp should be ones that have common sence to hold back to stait.

    Not rocket science bike control goes to ways boys faster and slower . think might learn more with us noobs out there.
