My last PPS, I promise - ;-) Would you believe, in that 6 months on the most dangerous roads in Europe, I never once performed a single lifesaver,Why? Because I didn't even know what one was, or why it should be done. I just don't understand how so many boys who love bikes and speed because they love life, are ready to let it end in such a quick and pointless way.
How many times do we hear people say: " the problem isn't us, the bikers, it's other motorists who are stupid and careless? " . But then you have to ask, how many were caused by basic rider fault or misjudgement? I 'd guess more than 90% could have been avoided, maybe more. I rode 6 months unlicensed and untrained and unplated in Moscow, and I look back and know im lucky to be alive. Never again.
Makes me so sad to see this, thanks for making it a respectful and thoughtful video and not sensationalist. Such a waste of life for these boys, there's no need for it if you just get training and use what you learn. I wonder, if all the dead boys could speak now, what they would say or wish they'd done or advise others to do? Tragic that it's just the wrecks of their beloved bikes that are left to speak foe them. WISE UP.
ok, theres a mentality issue, if your gonna cane it in the bends, then prepare to die, many of these cyclists will watch motogp then go out on public roads and replicate the same, they die, motogp drivers don't, WHY: because public road riders don't have a FULL armor romper suit, and they don't have gravel traps, they do have oncomeing obsticals and do have cliff edges
@paganizondaR73MBZZZ good points, thank you. Racers (like those at this week's NW 200 here in Northern Ireland for example) are not only professionals with years of experience, but also well-maintained machines & are travelling at (usually) the same speeds- even whilst overtaking.
Nevermind the fact that roads are checked & junctions are closed, pedestrians are not allowed on track, ambulance crews are on hand & there are no other drivers about (eating while driving, texting, arguing, tired..)
I don't need advanced training. My first bike was a 03' hayabusa 4 years ago. I'm still alive today. Never dropped the bike once. I'm still on my learner's permit. Haha
These riders died because they were traveling at high speeds acting like dumb asses. If you don't respect the bike you will die. When will people learn.
I just started riding two months ago. Got a 2004 Honda CBR600 F4i for my first bike. I'd like to take a motorcycle training course, but the city I live in with a population of 50,000 doesn't have one at all... kinda pisses me off. I always figured I'd end up dying in a car crash, but now I'm not so sure. Made it 800 miles so far and I'm still alive though.
@anagennao Glad to hear it. There are many videos and lots of information on youtube and on the internet. Keep watching, practicing and learning anagennao
@anagennao Best thing you can do is learn your bike inside and out...I have had several bikes in the past few years and each one is differnt...Take a good 6months to learn how your bike corners and stops and accel's...And always check with your eyes mirrors dont see everything....Ride safe and have fun
@anagennao Another thing try not to ride with anyone that will geet you killed. Always look out for cagers because they really don't look out for the bikers.
Them barriers scare the shit out of me thats why I do track days.We all fell of last year with nothing worse than a fractured wrist and damaged fairing.
This just goes to show you should never stop learning, you should improve your riding skills, improve your observation and awareness, and in turn you'll increase your confidence and most importantly safety, all simply achieved with Advanced Training, great vid learn2ride.

I fully agree with advanced rider training, but this is a stupid add, you ride like a dick on public roads and sooner or later you will hurt / kill yourself.... full stop
@lukeluke01 it's not just how you ride- but also the weather, road surface conditions, the presence of other vehicles and what the drivers are (usually not) doing (EG: changing radio station, arguing with passengers, chatting on the phone etc) instead of concentrating on the road that can all contribute to a fatality.
Advanced training starts with analysisng your own attitude to riding. How can you improve it?
@lukeluke01 I’m glad you agree with advanced training, think about trying it out, watching your videos it looks like you suffer from an illusion of control, there’s a time and a place to ride like that, keep it on the track man. Don’t be ignorant to the message being shown in the video, for the sake of yourself and the others you share the roads with.
congratulations mate....LEARN to RIDE....go and run in a track day NOT ON PUBLIC ROADS.....BUY THE PROPER GEAR....CHANGE FREQUENTLY TIRES ....and beyond everything...DON'T SHOW OFF....ITS STUPID AND DANGEROUS ...and you are NOT VALENTINO ROSSI....
Safety barriers of that kind and especially the ones made out of steel wires (if u get wat i mean, like 3 parallel wires) are probably not fun to crash into, i fucking fear them :´(
@snorkel321 if you go up to info for this video you'll see a link about crash barriers, their dangers and what certain parties are doinbg are to fix them. it's food for thought
@learn2rideVIDEOS OH yea, i meant cable safety barriers. My bike doesnt like them, imagine getting "beheaded". Btw, i live in sweden where they put up Most cable barriers in europe, theyre sometimes a bigger threat for motorcyclists than the obstacles theyre there to protect you from. Sigh. (read the text in the link)
@learn2rideVIDEOS i went to motorcycle school, and your right they do push those things... its hard to change someones attitude in a week or two! focus is more something you have or dont.... you can tell someone to pay attention and they probably will for a bit but as skill gets better and riding school fades in the memory they most of the time just return to there roots! its all just my opinion
@richardjburke i understand what you are saying and what i am saying is the same IMHO- you have to focus on your attitude: focus is not something you 'have or do not' but is learned over time through repeated practice- the same as powers of observation, machine skills or what have you. after all we can't all wheelie first time, achieve knee down first time, knock ten seconds off a lap time first time, corner better first time or become experts first time- it requires effort and dedication: focus
@richardjburke You hit the nail on the head.Its the idiots who think they are superbike racers and try it on the street.There is no gravel or sand on bike tracks,they can pull hard turns becuse of this.I have no respect for the people who died because of stupidity.
Like some of the other said here, there are good rider out there. I'll be bold and say that out of 100 riders, there are about 30 that are good riders. The other 70 are unskilled riders who want to impress the ladies. Maybe learning to ride properly first, and THEN impressing the ladies would be better.
everyone in the world is slowly dying everyday. i would rather live life on the edge and have no regrets later on then not have done anything exciting my whole life an die anyways someday. mutch respect to all the riders who passed over in that video. an to all the riders who will go out one last time on there bikes but at least they went out ridin fast an doing somthing that they loved !
i understand where you are coming from, but what about their kids, when they hear their dad's gone and he's not coming home ever again? or maybe mom's gone too cos she was riding pillion? is 'riding fast and doin what they loved' going to make up for it in their eyes? (nevermind that he/she hopefully didn't take some innocent pedestrian/driver/kid crossing the road with them)
i understand where you're coming from , all i'm asking people to do is THINK.
now if i had millions of pounds, a professional TV crew, expert editors, actors, scene locations and so on like the government i might be able to do something better!!
unfortunately i'm stuck with Windows Movie Maker LOL!
(I'm just one motorcycle instructor who's trying to make a difference)
owch, sad to see when someone goes beyond their limits......i was doin 50, had my face sheild up w/ sunglasses on....
got whacked in the cheek by a bumble bee....almost dumped...had to pull over and wait a few....felt like i got shot in the face......atleast the bee died....he was partially plastered to the side of my helmet after he bounced off my cheek
fucked up thing was i wasnt even speeding or showing off.....bee was wrong place...wrong time
I love my bike, ride it rain or shine, wind or snow however I ride to my ability and to the road condition. I'm as happy plooding along on my 600 at 60mph as i am in the twistiies at 40mph. I keep my speed for the track days!
Agreed, learn2ride. You must always scan way ahead and all around, identify the threats, and act to avoid them. I am planning to re-enter motorcycling after having sold my last bike over eight years ago. Those plans include some rider training rather than just hitting the road in my rusty state.
If only the rest of the "born again bikers" had your commen sense and logic, then perhaps most of the old boys returning to ride would still be alive today..there is nothing wrong with taking extra training upon returning to ride..it makes sense..you"ll live longer for starters.
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers rider courses that are invaluable to any rider, and IMO any license endorsement should require such training. The time will surely come when you must take extreme maneuvers to avoid crashing (or being crashed upon). I get so tired of hearing dumbasses tell the same story "I had to lay it down...". Translation: "I have little understanding of how to effectively control this vehicle I have chosen to ride, and I'm too stupid to realize it".
there is no such thing- only poor planning and anticipation (as well as planning for) those hazards (and others) on behalf of the rider. the information is there, the rider simply fails to see it (or sees it and doesn't adjust accordingly)
another part of the problem is that too many kids hop on a 150+ hp bike without having any riding experience at all... when MY daughter starts riding streetbikes she will have already had 10s of thousands of miles of riding behind her in various trerrain and traffic situations. and years of being groomed for street riding.nevertheless once on the street she will be limited to a 250 ninja for a minimum of 2 years and then a gradual progression to highte performing bikes..
@learn2rideVIDEOS So your telling me the DEER that suddenly jump out in front of me from a blind embankment while I was driving the speed limit was poor planning and/or anticipation on my part?
There is a difference of what you can and cannot control. I agree with defensive driving even though I can be reckless at times. But things such as chain snapping, clutch lockups, throttle sticking and Nature happens.
To a point sometimes you done realize your mechanics are just worn out. I guess its a grey line in the long run.
As far as deer I live in a decently rural area however this was a highway 2 lanes north 2 lanes south with a median to allow for turning into side roads. It is just one of the things I felt out of my control completely. I had no time to negotiate anything.
@TheHunterRavine absolutely! hauling it around a corner at above posted limits in an area where deer are known to live. yes you are responsible. sticky throttles, faulty chains... are a result of poor bike service. again your responsibility. that car blowing a redlight or stop sign, as far as traffic goes. Infact every time you get on a bike you accept responsibility for every car on the road, even, NO.. especially! the ones you cant see.
It doesnt have to be a heavy bike, riders are killed on their 125's and smaller often or are you just thinking if its a big bike it might injure you in your car!!!
Well, based on the comments on your home page, you're an dumb piece of shit. I guess I'm not the only one thinking that. And please stop repeating your catch phrase over and over again. Mother nature my ass. If mother nature really is at work, you would've been born without an asshole and only one testicle like Hitler. Oh wait, I guess mother nature IS at work. Well, having two balls is overrated anyway. I should call you flacciddave99 now. PWNED!!
Ha, you're no fun at all. I thought you actually have the intelligence and the balls to come back with something good. I guess I was wrong. Please don't reply until you can come back with something other than repeating what you have said, though I seriously doubt it. I think you've truly reached your IQ limit as to what you can say. Just go watch some internet porn and forget this ever took place.
I think it's great that you're trying to prevent bike deaths, but I have to be honest, just seeing pics of wrecked bikes doesnt work for me. Seeing video of crashes happening, and the aftermath really bloody does work. Those sorts of videos are shown by Lincolnshire Police on their Speed Awareness courses and are real eye openers.
but at the end of the day, we are ALL responsible for what happens to us on a bike- because we are the ones in control
theres no such thing as 'accidents'- only poor anticipation, skill & planning on the rider's behalf.
instead of blaming others, why don't bikers have a look at their OWN behaviour? or is that too much trouble to ask? it's easy to blame others instead of having a good look at your own (lack of) skill isn't it!?
i did ride a honda varadero XL125 07plate, my partner had a totally custom jet black suzuki bandit 600cc both now written off. yes it is dangerouse but i feel it'sa the lil ped boys and idiots who ride in shorts, t-shirts, hoodies, who give bikes a bad name. make it a law you must wear protective gear at all times otherwise penalties. my jacket saved my life. if i was wearing a hoodie i would have been eaten alive by ashvalt burn and broken bones.
the problem is that you cannot tell people what to do and wear..some bikers KNOW what they should do, they just don't bother
all you can do is try to advise and encourage..some just don't listen IMHO, but these are the usually the guys who need the advice the most- hence some of the negative comments on here..
just for the record, i'm not doing this for you, but for those who give a damn about you..sooner or later, luck always runs out.
This has made an impression on me and i've been a rider for 1 year. i had an accident on Friday 28th August 09 old man in car pulled out my other half vered out into my path and slammed brakes on i plowed up his ass. i got broken coller bone, he got 2 broken wrists but it could have been worse. we could be dead. i thank the ppl who stopped and helped us, the ambulance and fire brigade.
i just learned sadly tonight that in my club, a pillion has died and her husband, the rider, is critical in hospital whilst on tour in europe...
RIP :-(
for the love of god folks, PLEASE think about your selfishness, the heartache and grief you can cause to those nearest and dearest to you when riding..
take the safety class guys.. .it will help a lot and there is also respect for those bikes like always.....respect and the class will help to understand some important details about the outside world while driving to have fun and come back home.....alive.
Very well done! all riders need to see this. it makes you think before tweeking that throttle. I hope this scares alot of riders so that they all make it back home!
I agree with advanced training to help you keep aware on the roads but to be honest i think these crashes could have been prevented if the riders where not riding arresivley. Looking at the crash sites and the corners they crashed at where not hard to judge so obvisley traveling too fast.
I wonder if the most common motorcycle crashes/fatalities involve riders on 1000cc machines?
I'm not saying it can't happen to anyone on a 125, or even a 50cc, but generally speaking it seems like 1000cc is too much bike for some people to restrain... it would be much less forgiving than a bike in a smaller class.
It looks like they were all riding past their abilities.
I think a lot of people read what a bike can do (bank angle, 0-100, whatever) then presume that because they got the bike they can pull all this off too.
Sadly a lot of them learn the hard way.
Remember guys these days bikes are hugely capable machines and usually a lot better at what they do than the people on them.
Ride to (and know) YOUR limits rather than the bikes. Its the easiest way to stay safe.
one of the most astute and insightful comments on here, thank you for that!
you are 100% right siraff2
some bikers DO learn the hard way (provided they don't end up like these guys RIP) but we can all learn from mistakes (they don't necessarily have to be ours)
enjoy the bike and have fun- just respect the machine and keep your Eyes Moving and your Mind Alert!
good point- when someone points out the dangers of biking to a biker, usually they don't want to know and think you are trying to spoil their fun- but it's not the case.
there's nothing funny about laying in hospital paralysed..
enjoy the bike, brush up your skills and come home alive is all
I don't see why people are giving you a hard time... You're trying to save lives. It's like someone yelling at "Smokey the Bear" for warning kids about forest fires...
Nothings wrong with educating people, so keep up the good work.
we all have little kids to look out for who depend on us (i recently had a little baby girl), friends who care about us -and maybe family who'd miss us should anything bad happen! (if we're lucky)
i'm just saying, next time you think about opening it up for the fun of it, simply think about what you- and those closest to you- stand to loose.. :-(
does a baby deserve to loose a daddy because of a bike? a mother a son? a wife a husband?
I got a question... I've never driven a crotch-rocket, but I've always wondered... How do they handle when there is sand or pebbles on the road? When bikers take corners they usually lean towards the inside of a turn, so wouldn't you think if they hit a rock or some loose sand on the pavement that the bike would fly out from under them?
the answers yes- a biker must always be aware of sand,crushed cans, dirt, pebbles, gravel, manhole covers, traffic studs, tar banding, diesel, cow manure, mud, field run off, white road markings..the list is endless.
even in the dry on good tarmac it's still possible to lowside a bike if braking too harshly and leaning too much- if you're asking too much of the available grip it will run out.
over-acceleration has the same effect on the rear wheel.
Thanks for answering my comment. I've always wanted to drive a crotch-rocket but honestly, I'm scared shitless of killing myself. They're fast, real fast... probably fast enough to make my adrenaline take over my common-sense, lol.
But hey, they're GREAT on gas!! My brother drives one and he gets incredible gas mileage.
like the video its more for people who don't know what the fuck there doing .i mean if you don't fuck around and act like your sopose to then you well have a 55% less chance of being in a crash ..got to love google
just be careful at bend, aware of the coming traffic and the road condition. If you dont feel safe, dont do it, only when you feel safe, you go with it. I always ride at 150mph on Hayabusa. I learn a lot from smaller bike befire i ride this BUSA. But, when entering bend @ sharp corner, i always slow down and only speed up after there is space and safe to do so are available. Ride safely folks.
I do rate training but this vid is just to scare ppl... ive ridden for years with no incident... I wonder of the amout of riders who die per year ... how many were advanced? Its ok to have advanced training but it just makes you feel safe... whether or not you hit the tarmac... who knows?....
Advanced or not anyone can run wide on a bend into oncoming traffic/toadside furniture, an advanced driving course wont save you from making a mistake
i disagree- a few of the points advanced training deals with are correct positioning for the bend you are entering- as well as dealing with the limit point, the speed at which you enter as well as the gear you are not to mention the view available. combine all these factors and you stand a much safer chance of getting round safely as opposed to someone entering in the wrong gear at the wrong speed in the wrong position who hasn't correctly gauged the severity of the bend
Valentino rossi can make a mistake and run wide into a bend, i'm pretty much sure regardless of how many hours advanced training you have you can still make a mistake, some of the points you replied to me with are basics which should be picked up fairly quickly with bike time
I'd rather see people on trackdays to leanr more bike skills than threory
I understand what you're trying to promote mate but from the captions in the video all them crashes were caused by riders going too fast. I don't think advanced training will help people like that. Some people just need to slow down, especially when on unfamiliar roads.
i tend to agree philbertfwog- but this is where advanced training comes in!
if you lose your view, then lose your speed.
simple as.
no telling what is round the bend- or it's severity if you go in too hot and get it wrong..
never put your bike where your eyes and mind haven't been first!!
i'm not telling people to ride everywhere at the speed limit (nor break it for that matter LOL!) just saying,ride for the conditions, and more importantly- within YOUR limits -and not that of the bike.
My last PPS, I promise - ;-) Would you believe, in that 6 months on the most dangerous roads in Europe, I never once performed a single lifesaver,Why? Because I didn't even know what one was, or why it should be done. I just don't understand how so many boys who love bikes and speed because they love life, are ready to let it end in such a quick and pointless way.

"you ride like a dick on public roads and sooner or later you will hurt / kill yourself"
perhaps you should take your own advice in that case and go for advanced training? (it's well-meant constructive criticism)
learn2rideVIDEOS 1 year ago
@lukeluke01 I’m glad you agree with advanced training, think about trying it out, watching your videos it looks like you suffer from an illusion of control, there’s a time and a place to ride like that, keep it on the track man. Don’t be ignorant to the message being shown in the video, for the sake of yourself and the others you share the roads with.

Safety barriers of that kind and especially the ones made out of steel wires (if u get wat i mean, like 3 parallel wires) are probably not fun to crash into, i fucking fear them :´(

@richardjburke and those are the two very issues advanced training address even before you set out on the road:
your attitude and focus
learn2rideVIDEOS 1 year ago
@learn2rideVIDEOS i went to motorcycle school, and your right they do push those things... its hard to change someones attitude in a week or two! focus is more something you have or dont.... you can tell someone to pay attention and they probably will for a bit but as skill gets better and riding school fades in the memory they most of the time just return to there roots! its all just my opinion
richardjburke 1 year ago
@richardjburke i understand what you are saying and what i am saying is the same IMHO- you have to focus on your attitude: focus is not something you 'have or do not' but is learned over time through repeated practice- the same as powers of observation, machine skills or what have you. after all we can't all wheelie first time, achieve knee down first time, knock ten seconds off a lap time first time, corner better first time or become experts first time- it requires effort and dedication: focus

The other 70 are unskilled riders who want to impress the ladies. Maybe learning to ride properly first, and THEN impressing the ladies would be better.

Agreed, learn2ride. You must always scan way ahead and all around, identify the threats, and act to avoid them. I am planning to re-enter motorcycling after having sold my last bike over eight years ago. Those plans include some rider training rather than just hitting the road in my rusty state.

If only the rest of the "born again bikers" had your commen sense and logic, then perhaps most of the old boys returning to ride would still be alive today..there is nothing wrong with taking extra training upon returning to ride..it makes sense..you"ll live longer for starters.
NIGHTSKYE1 2 years ago 3
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers rider courses that are invaluable to any rider, and IMO any license endorsement should require such training. The time will surely come when you must take extreme maneuvers to avoid crashing (or being crashed upon). I get so tired of hearing dumbasses tell the same story "I had to lay it down...". Translation: "I have little understanding of how to effectively control this vehicle I have chosen to ride, and I'm too stupid to realize it".
308mmm 2 years ago 3
i totally agree 308mmm.
you also hear the word "suddenly" a lot too...
"suddenly the driver switched lanes.."
"suddenly, the car pulled out of the junction..."
"suddenly i lost control..."
there is no such thing- only poor planning and anticipation (as well as planning for) those hazards (and others) on behalf of the rider. the information is there, the rider simply fails to see it (or sees it and doesn't adjust accordingly)

another part of the problem is that too many kids hop on a 150+ hp bike without having any riding experience at all... when MY daughter starts riding streetbikes she will have already had 10s of thousands of miles of riding behind her in various trerrain and traffic situations. and years of being groomed for street riding.nevertheless once on the street she will be limited to a 250 ninja for a minimum of 2 years and then a gradual progression to highte performing bikes..

@learn2rideVIDEOS So your telling me the DEER that suddenly jump out in front of me from a blind embankment while I was driving the speed limit was poor planning and/or anticipation on my part?
There is a difference of what you can and cannot control. I agree with defensive driving even though I can be reckless at times. But things such as chain snapping, clutch lockups, throttle sticking and Nature happens.
Good Vid though.

in response to your question, i'd say 'possibly'..IF you knew that deer were in the area beforehand! (any warning signs to point that out?!)
there IS a difference of what you can and cannot control i think: you CAN control yourself and you CAN control your attitude to YOUR riding.
granted, nature happens, is unprdeictable and you were lucky- but as for chain snapping, clutch lockups and throttle cables sticking??
that's down to simple machine maintenance wouldn't you agree?
learn2rideVIDEOS 2 years ago
To a point sometimes you done realize your mechanics are just worn out. I guess its a grey line in the long run.
As far as deer I live in a decently rural area however this was a highway 2 lanes north 2 lanes south with a median to allow for turning into side roads. It is just one of the things I felt out of my control completely. I had no time to negotiate anything.

@TheHunterRavine absolutely! hauling it around a corner at above posted limits in an area where deer are known to live. yes you are responsible. sticky throttles, faulty chains... are a result of poor bike service. again your responsibility. that car blowing a redlight or stop sign, as far as traffic goes. Infact every time you get on a bike you accept responsibility for every car on the road, even, NO.. especially! the ones you cant see.

If you like riding a bike to its limit, why not go to a track and do it there?

I wonder if the most common motorcycle crashes/fatalities involve riders on 1000cc machines?
I'm not saying it can't happen to anyone on a 125, or even a 50cc, but generally speaking it seems like 1000cc is too much bike for some people to restrain... it would be much less forgiving than a bike in a smaller class.

It looks like they were all riding past their abilities.
I think a lot of people read what a bike can do (bank angle, 0-100, whatever) then presume that because they got the bike they can pull all this off too.
Sadly a lot of them learn the hard way.
Remember guys these days bikes are hugely capable machines and usually a lot better at what they do than the people on them.
Ride to (and know) YOUR limits rather than the bikes. Its the easiest way to stay safe.

learn2rideVIDEOS 2 years ago
I got a question... I've never driven a crotch-rocket, but I've always wondered... How do they handle when there is sand or pebbles on the road? When bikers take corners they usually lean towards the inside of a turn, so wouldn't you think if they hit a rock or some loose sand on the pavement that the bike would fly out from under them?
DoraggPvp 2 years ago
very astute comment!
the answers yes- a biker must always be aware of sand,crushed cans, dirt, pebbles, gravel, manhole covers, traffic studs, tar banding, diesel, cow manure, mud, field run off, white road markings..the list is endless.
even in the dry on good tarmac it's still possible to lowside a bike if braking too harshly and leaning too much- if you're asking too much of the available grip it will run out.
over-acceleration has the same effect on the rear wheel.
thanks for comment!

just be careful at bend, aware of the coming traffic and the road condition. If you dont feel safe, dont do it, only when you feel safe, you go with it. I always ride at 150mph on Hayabusa. I learn a lot from smaller bike befire i ride this BUSA. But, when entering bend @ sharp corner, i always slow down and only speed up after there is space and safe to do so are available.

Advanced or not anyone can run wide on a bend into oncoming traffic/toadside furniture, an advanced driving course wont save you from making a mistake
HutchSco 2 years ago
i disagree- a few of the points advanced training deals with are correct positioning for the bend you are entering- as well as dealing with the limit point, the speed at which you enter as well as the gear you are not to mention the view available. combine all these factors and you stand a much safer chance of getting round safely as opposed to someone entering in the wrong gear at the wrong speed in the wrong position who hasn't correctly gauged the severity of the bend

Valentino rossi can make a mistake and run wide into a bend, i'm pretty much sure regardless of how many hours advanced training you have you can still make a mistake, some of the points you replied to me with are basics which should be picked up fairly quickly with bike time

I understand what you're trying to promote mate but from the captions in the video all them crashes were caused by riders going too fast. I don't think advanced training will help people like that. Some people just need to slow down, especially when on unfamiliar roads.
philbertfwog 2 years ago 6
Yes. They were going too fast for their skill levels. Almost all modern bikes are capable of far more than the rider realises.
The crash on LH bends tends to come from a combination of the bend being tighter than it seemed, and an oncoming vehicle.
Then it's a simple grab the brake, bike sits up, and ploughs straight into the offside traffic.
It takes practice to learn the art of 'counter steering', but a hard shove on the inside bar will usually save the day.
Limpandtotheleft 2 years ago 3
i tend to agree philbertfwog- but this is where advanced training comes in!
if you lose your view, then lose your speed.
simple as.
no telling what is round the bend- or it's severity if you go in too hot and get it wrong..
never put your bike where your eyes and mind haven't been first!!
i'm not telling people to ride everywhere at the speed limit (nor break it for that matter LOL!) just saying,ride for the conditions, and more importantly- within YOUR limits -and not that of the bike.
