Just look at the front end rake on that Harley conpared to a Bonnie. That should explain something and this guy really needs to trake a MSF safety course.

Ouch. The pics are funny in a cartoony way. Hope he wasn't hurt too badly.

yes, MSF might teach him about entry speed into a corner and counter-steering

What you can't see in the pic is the back of his T-shirt with the "Helmet Laws Suck!" slogan.

Now now. As tempting as it may be to poke fun, we can all identify with the guy. Maybe he was just giving a friendly little wave. Shouldn't be punished for that. I'd hate for the same thing to happen to me.

Exactly. Only someone who doesn't know how to ride takes his eyes off the road ahead in a turn. It's there where a FRACTION of a second will leave you unable to do anything but watch as you lose it or slam into an oncoming car. NEVER !! It's one of the most critical moments while on the road which is why it's where 90% of bad thinks happen.

And a blind right hand turn at that. (this guy is very lucky) Focus, focus, focus. look thru the turn, brake before the turn, sweep thru the turn and power out. (ride a bike that is designed for the twisties)

Check out some of the forum posts in that link as well; I thought we Brit-twinners could be a bit anti-HD, but these guys, sheesh!
