All I see is a circle with a slash through it.  Nothing to click on.... 

Now I can see it.  This is what scares me on the Dragon.  Some numnuts going over the center line and taking out a rider or worse, taking out a small group.

That's why they say: "Keep off the paint"

anybody know the aftermath???

this is almost exactly what happened to a friend of mine...he wound up with a broken back, disabled for the rest of his life,   and the biker behind him couldn't get stopped and ran over him too....  his crash happened on the BRP, they had been on the BRP about 5 minutes.....

Crap! I watched a couple of times to see if there's any nano-second reflexive thing you could do to avoid this . . . and I got nothing.

Totally the other rider's fault, for whatever small comfort that is.
