    way wide...bad angle going in.

    what's really lucky is the way he cut between the cars to get to the shoulder.

    Dumbass. That wasn't even a very tight corner. He just entered it wrong, but he still could have saved it if he hadn't apparently target fixated on the approaching car.

    Personally, the many tar snakes on that road would have been enough to convince me to ride a little more conservatively...

    I think I saw 6x MPH on the speedo when he crossed the line. Was triple digits in the straight.

    He hit 100 for less than a second and was on the brakes. He deffinitely could of made that turn if he wasn't target fixating. Its hard being new to the twisties and learn to just ride your pace. If your friends are good friends they will wait for you at the end.

    His buddy gave the universal WTF hand signal, and rightly so...

    that was one of the first things I noticed...tons of them, and I definitely go to conservative riding with lots of them around...looks like he fixated all right, the curve wasn't all that difficult.

    Was it for fucking up the corner or nearly hitting him when he came back across into the proper lane? Two dumb ass moves with out getting hurt is pretty fortunate.......

    Looked like he was saying "wtf mate" then.. "are you good?"

    In my opinion, he should've tried to get the guy to pull over and then given him the ride your own ride, this isn't a race speech.
