- seriously , all of us have probably done what he did there. Just different consequences depending on our luck.
- its the learning from mistakes and training how to deal with things like these which separates the old riders from the bold riders.

bwaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaa.......
there is no such thing as luck.....it's karma.
in his case, it was a failure.
and MOST of us have not done what HE did, because we can still walk without crutches.
Old is just a relative thing....I'm old. But younger than a lot of riders I know....that still can walk.....and have not run cross center into a Corvette....ON FILM>>>>>>
bold riders don't last long.....
but you are right, I'm sure he learned a LOT from that mistake.....
- short personal story : i remember when i just started riding many years back. A good friend who's an experienced rider gave me a bit of advice : "things happen very fast on a bike".
- cut to now : just take a look at those couple of photos. See how quick the situation changes from a nice exciting dive into a corner to flying off your bike into the unknown.
- ride safe !

there are 9 frames being shot prior to his demise, and 3 from on course to crash.....the cam was rolling....he just puked.
yes things happen fast......don't wave at camera's in a blind right turn.....
I noted above, with a photo, that I had time to flip off the cam dude in that same turn.... no crash.
