He did well to steer out of the way - reckon you don't get much closer to being dead than that guy.
Was it good luck or skill missing that Bike?
Was that a bike?
:shock: :shock:
Brown trouser moment of the first order...
Now that was close!
Skill - you can see he steers to the right, off the racing line everyone else is taking, to avoid it.Originally Posted by taz417
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 almost sh*t my pants just watching that... :shock: :shock: :shock:
I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Closer than a Close thing... :shock:
literally inches away from losing his head... :shock:
I am surprised he didnt get pushed off!
jeez - I'd need a change of leathers after that!
Duck,!!! I completely quacked up.
:pukeleft: Bloody Norah!!!! that's as close as it gets.
Unbelieable footage, that would have been a bad headache the following morning
a good case for getting in pole position and keeping it
Great vid was looking forward to seeing the whole lap.
Even though I was expecting it it still seemed to come out of nowhere :shock:
I dont think the guy had time to do anything at all to avoid that, just kept going.
That was close :shock:
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).Originally Posted by timlin
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:
You owe me a duck - oh, hang on...
far too close
very impressed with his reactions however !!
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
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.

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!
