Look at all that pavement to your right.

That's what full-face helmets are for.

Look at all that truck to your left.

This is a buddy of mine, first time visiting...

I've been there a dozen times, riding well on a sharp bike with no highlight love. Should I do something dumb or just stop by and ask WTF?

The scary part is look at the faces on the people in the truck, dude driving doesn't even see him.

Joe said...

wow i made the highlight reel... :( not that it was a good way. The truck def pushing his tires as he came around the curve but was not overly close as we actually exchanged paths past eachother. I wasnt worried at all and i stood the bike up straighter and followed to the outside of my lane further. :) never a dull moment at the gap

Yeah the angle of the shot exaggerates the proximity, but still it's a powerful reminder that we can all work on staying more to the right, especially around left-handers.

Jason said...

K, guess I'll just hang my ass outta some chaps like on page 4. LOL

I used to be bad at left handers but I followed a fast dude on a supermoto one day.At the end of the day I was a hole new rider.

If that is the same truck that I followed last year, you're darned lucky. He spent 90% of his left-handers at least 1/2 in the other lane.

I found myself following the double yellow too. It's got some kind of magnetic pull. Many times I had to readjust my line.
