    A mate of mine died in the 70's when he went under wheels and the bike went straight on

    Looks like he's got no faith in his tyres and their grip levels

    Read elsewhere that the biker sued the lorry driver..... luckily the driver had the video evidence.

    You know he could have made the turn, his mate did.

    Looks like he panicked. Yeah he did try and sue the truck driver but it was dismissed cause of the camera evidence. The plonker did not realise he had a camera.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Lots of trucks and delivery vans are having cameras fitted. Its a insurance requirement.

    One day everyone will have to have it fitted and if you make a claim you will have to submit the 5 minutes film before the accident

    Just wait and see

    Very Lucky Boy!
    The principle is 'outside to inside' he could have made that corner at that speed if he had not 'freaked out' mid corner
    If you watch more experienced bikers they would have darted to the inside track at the mid-point of the bend.
    Brakes on - bike stands up and your going straight on wether you like it or not!!!

    He couldn't ride..going too fast for his skill level.. Got transfixed by the lorry. And messed up.. Obviously it had to be someone else's fault!!!!.. Idiot..

    I remember watching one of the those "Helicopter Hero.. emergency biker things" last year.. The commentator said "After the break we'll be at the science on a major accident involving an experienced biker".... What was the accident.. Well this experienced biker had gone blasting around a country lane in a tourist area in the height of summer and ridden into the back of a caravan.. The road was dry and as we the viewer travelled in the ambulance you could see across the bend and see the caravan before you got to it.. Mmm just because you've had a bike for years doesn't make you a good rider..
