A couple of months?! Man slow down. You are lucky the first guy was paying attention. Not critisizing but hopefully you learned a valuable lesson. Lucky, very lucky.

Damn dude that was nuts. How was the ride after that? I would have pulled over and took a second to collect myself. Nice reaction and save.

You know, most riders would be embarrassed or too proud to share this clip. Thank you.

It doesn't matter how long you've been riding.... things do go wrong. All that matters it how you react, and we can all see you reacted well enough to keep yourself alive.

Was the road new to you or have you made the trip before?

The road is not new to me. There are two things I think happened.

1) I was always riding on that road following my friend, who knows that road better than anyone else. On that day I was stucked behind a truck, so he got very far from me, so I had to "fly solo". I didn't have him as reference....

2) I think I was to concerned in keep a high RPM, Body position and a complatible speed for the turns and on top of that, operating the camera!!!
Too much info to be processed for a begginer, in such dangerous road

Like was said, we all makes mistakes no matter how long we've ridden. My suggestion lose the camera for a little while.
