aw, sorry to hear.
It happens as you will soon find out yourself. We all do it, the main thing is we hope that we can get up and get out again as soon as possI loved it but I get the feeling if I went back it could be a bugger going quick

I felt a lot quicker on that particular session and don't feel I had done anything any different in the approach other than speed of entry. Lines were the same on entry as far as I can recall, but I may have been trying to keep a tighter line through the exit than necessary. The front just tucked without warning

Keep up at the back Fleegle. The 2015 term for it is "The front closed" taken directly from Moto GP and can be requited in the Riding Gods thread.Chipchap said:

Looks a daft thing to do. What happened?
he just ran out of talent following me and panicked i guess grabbed a handfull of brake and jumped ship. To be fair it was a terrible corner and we werent even going at a fast rate. i think it was just a costly and very lucky/unlucky cock up. I defintily feel different about riding today than i did when i set off yesterday though. Ive never thought twice about my riding and my safety, ive never run wide on the road or had any instances that really shook me up but now the thought that my riding may have somehow contributed to that has really made me question my road riding. seeing a mate crash is not something i want to repeat however lightly he got off this time it could of been a lot worse. Ill never give up road riding im just having an oestrogen spike ha. im thinking about a couple of smaller engined bikes so that i can feel like im pushing whilst not encouraging my other mates to push themselves. i know its everyones responsibility to look after themselves and not go passed your limits but the fact is if i wasnt going that fast he wouldnt of been either.

Sorry to hear about your mates incident, but don't let it put you off, just let the slower guys lead - simple. Then there is no pressure on them to keep up.Tim85 said:

Understandable, but it's him that needs to learn from this, not you. It wasn't your handle on his throttle it was his, and you pointed out the day before the accident that he is a liability. This is why I always say very clearly before setting off with a group, "ride your own ride" - if you try to hang on to a faster lad in front, it won't be their fault if you come off.Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
