    He did well to steer out of the way - reckon you don't get much closer to being dead than that guy.

    Skill - you can see he steers to the right, off the racing line everyone else is taking, to avoid it.

    When you said about ducking I thought you were referring to the overhead metal crossbars they go under... in my defense - they do look pretty low. :D

    I dont think the guy had time to do anything at all to avoid that, just kept going.

    I disagree - I think he did the right thing by slowing in a controlled manner and keeping his cool (was gonna say keeping his head but seemed a punn to far).

    Anyone else notice the liquid on his screen after - either oil or coolant I guess - unless it came from one of the other guys leathers!!!! :wink:

    I just passed my bike test last month and made the mistake of looking on u tube at a lot of accidents, not that I expect to come anywhere near something like that on the road. Just got to get them out of my head now.

    just treat everyone else on the road like they want to kill you and you will be ok.

    Me neither.... :shock: :shock:

    but perhaps just a few tens of a second before, he had seen the dust and the other rider, and he was prepared how to react.
    Very good reaction though!
