If the camera bike would have stayed on course he never would have hit him. Its kinda like when you see a deer while driving, if it has horns you downshift and speed up, it is a doe you try to avoid it.

That was absolutely terrifying...not to mention his form was pretty scary too...they were fast, but his form didn't match the speed he was going. He was sitting upright on the bike and should have been tucked more, looked like he was accelerating too hard and too early, didn't like his body position, so he decided to adjust it mid turn (big mistake), upset the bike and that's all she wrote...looks like the rear stepped out and he chopped the throttle.

Just my opinion, but it sucks no matter what happened...[&:]

Yeah, the guy above me sounds liek he knows what he's talking about. I learned one of these the hard way, about corret body position. Although I did save it, after about a mile and a half of tank slapping at 80 mph. Man I had bruises all over, in places I never knew I got hit, and not to mention my *****! Lesson Learned, Maintain steady position on the throttle at high speeds and accelerate when the devil comes knockin.
