Knob on a 848

I believe there is an adverse camber to the road at this point that catches people out. It's hard to see it coming because there are no easy references around to determine what's 'flat'. All the camera vultures have to do is sit and wait.

Ducati Monster Motorcycle Crash - May 13, 2012 - YouTube The Monster crashing is even more bizarre, I think he got target fixation and also had the bike in a low gear, check out the rear wheel juddering, very strange

 

I recall similar useful advice during my CBT....:biggrin:

 

YEAH!.....lol Very true...lol And to brake hard while swerving round a corner!

 

FVck me, the only emergency veheeeecle [FONT=arial, sans-serif]missing from that monster crash is a sodding helicopter! [/FONT]

 

Mulholland Drive is near Los Angeles, the closest twisty stretch of road to Bel Air and Hollywood. Every knob with more money than sense goes there to show off, and everybody with a camera (i.e. all of them) goes there to film. Hence loads of YouTube clips.

 

There's a strip of painted black tarmac/bitumen between the yellow lines. That stuff is lethal and slippery. They paint the same stuff throughout the Pyrenees to cover cracks/joins, and even in the dry it is very dangerous.

 

Is that El Toro trying to get his knee down

 

thats the mullholland highway for you..

 

and they always seem to lose it on that bend...
