Interesting video.
Good road, nice corners - too many bikes going way too fast.
One very close shave - then he forgets to turn...

Seen it a few times now, sobering reminder.

Fatal ? error - Riding beyond ones own limits.
He just couldn't let the other guy go, tried to cut in on the car before it reached the corner, miss-judged and paid for it... along with other innocent road users.
One, two free, floor!
Now THAT looks like a road safety vid if ever I saw one.

Not just another revolutionary
Hate to say this but what did he expect to happen. Perhaps all bikes should have onboard cameras to make the coronors job easier. Whatever happened to him was his own doing but i gotta feel for the innocent guy/girl coming the other way. Does anone know if they came out of this?

Most riders (I believe) assume they have good time to pass as they only expect to see a slow ole car coming the other way, so they pass in small gaps, you should ride on the assumptions a fast sportsbike is coming the other way.
that would save a few eh.

According to the Youtube notes (that's why I put the link there as well) the guy who took the video survived with serious injury. The innocent rider coming the other way was not so fortunate.
What is so tragic about it is that it would have been easily avoided! The way I see it, the rider is pushing himself beyond his comfort zone and when something slightly unexpected happens he falls into the trap of target fixation. He should have been able to just lean it over to the right of the oncoming bike - however he went straight into it.
Also, with the close shave just seconds earlier you'd think that would make you wake up and slow down...

Blowin up bikes since ages ago
You would think! It also may have just made him edgy and nervous, hence the target fixation. Sometimes if Ive had a near miss or done something very stupid I usually pull over for awhile and have a ciggy until I calm down OR I turn around and go home slowly if I just cant shake *that* feeling.

Don't let the man get you down
I reckon he just pushed himself too far and just gave up.
He was heading through that corner dead straight and would of made it if he actually turned, I reckon he was just looking to lose some speed on the roll and just turn a bit later on down the road, not realising there was a bike coming the other way..
Stay on your own side of the road! I'm not exactly a saint for that type of thing but i'll get it eventually.
I do hope he gave up riding due to killing another biker.. if he was ever able to be in a position to ride again.

He was doin fine til he tried to keep up with the bike that overtook him. You could see his revs pick up as soon as the other guy went past but he was lacking in roadcraft. An example of not riding at your own pace. Feel really sorry for the suzuki rider coming the other way.
