This is goin to open a right can of worms, there is another biker video on youtube where he pretty much does the same.

A good ban and very likely a retest coming for this moron.

It seems the landowner wants £1000 compo for damage to his fence.

What fence?

Umm, that'd be the wire and post fencing just off the right hand side of the road which is pretty clearly visible once things slow down a bit...

I think the landowner is milking it, no way a bit of wire and wooden post would cost a grand to fix. Why did the commentator on the video mention a stone wall? There was no stone wall at all.

Maybe he's asking for £1K to remove the rest of the fence, so that when the next thick-as-pigshyte-organ-donor-candidate biker fails to make the corner he won't have to worry about them auto-decapitating on the wire, but merely smearing themselves to a pulp on the adjacent scenery?

You can clearly see both fence and a wall in the video?

If i was the landowner, I'd be recovering costs as well. Why should he have to fork out for helmet cam man's utter muppetry?

Looking at the video I don't think he was going too fast to take that bend, looks like target fixation, he saw the car and rode toward it.

Complete tt posting it on youtube though.
He should have had no trouble getting round the corner at that speed but if you watch the rest of the video his road positioning is generally rubbish and he was riding way to fast for his level of skill. Agree it was likely target fixation, I assume he saw the car, panicked, went for the brake and stood the bike up rather than just leaning in to the corner.
You're obviously ignoring the fact that if there had been anything on his side of the road as he went round the corner he would've ploughed straight into it at that speed. It's a public road not a racetrack.

At the risk of sounding stupid, how does one drive a motorcycle?

You drive a motor vehicle. A motor vehicle is anything self-propelled that does not run on tracks or rails.

The dry stone Waller and fence repairer need paying.

Inexperience and over enthusiasm sadly.

Poor car driver.
