I found this video on YouTube of a bunch of bikers on a ride.
Check out some of these lines and watch the whole video.
Some kerb hugging going on aswell.

That's what happens when you try and intimidate a stranger by buzzing them.
The guy on the Yam could see the Fireblade rider was cautious and nervous so kept his distance.
He was lucky this time.

He was really unlucky........if he had been riding a BMW GS he could have carried on down the hill, back up the other side, through the second dry stone wall, jumping the barb wire at the same time and carried on with his pre-roast Sunday outing.

I don't know but my guess would be that he had target fixation with the car and hit the front brake as he panicked. The bike stands upright and the corner wasn't exactly a difficult one. He didn't seem that competent in the lead up to it, the rider in front of him realized the first rider wasn't confident and had backed right off. Pure guesswork on my part.

What appalling riding!!!!! In my opinion his lines in the bends were all totally wrong, failing to maximise the view and a clear disregard for the double white lines, which ultimately led to his crash. Those white lines are there to indicate that it is potentially a hazardous piece of road, yet he doesn't change his style of riding. These type of accidents can so easily be avoided!!!

On another note, anyone notice how bad the road surface was? Potholes and cracks everywhere. Another reason to reign it in a tad.

What I fail to understand is how anyone who rides like that would actually want to post a video on YouTube to show how terrible his riding is.

The guy is an absolutely KNOB!

Look at me overtaking!!! No skill or brains.... But I'm sure it will have been someone else's fault by the time he got to the pub.. No wonder our insurance goes up.. Hope his insurance company saw this and tell him where to go...
