Skip to 3.09. Was not expecting that sharp corner...I have not even got my knee down on the Hornet yet as i have no confidence to tip the slag round the bends

You can just hear my mate laughing his head off

Painful to watch.

Don't do it again.

Other helpful info will surely follow.

Ahh the Wood Walton roads! I know those corners very well(I live down the road from them) there are 2 that are seriously sharp and covered in loose gravel so be careful.

I didn't know there were that many bikers around here!

That's sharp? I've been nailing it at triple figures and had an actual corner that didn't just bend round, but go like a right angle. Gotta hate it when you overshoot, and sometimes you panic, and tense up, that's when the bike will just go upright.

Cornering skills of your mates shocked me

Looks like you panicked.. Glad you're ok.

Yep, chill out and brake early, do all your braking before you tip it into the corner for now.

Just got to man up and Leroy Jenkins it on that bend! don't even think about that brake or the bike will sit upright just learn to fight your instinct.

No one actually realises how crappy that corner is, it is quite literally covered in loose gravel and is a 20mph corner, nasty nasty thing.

Coming the other way can be quite fun just up the road, there's a swooping left hander and the white picket fence is so damn close to your head

We've all done it at somepoint, If we deny it then we're liars!

Good job nothing was coming the other way.....

Try and learn from it and ride safe

It's a bend...you fail at bending

[LordShaftesbu...]

I never thought I would ever judge someone else's riding on account of me not being all that great. But it's happened.

You're shit mate.

[J4mes]

[covent.gardens]

I wouldn't find it funny if I'd done that to be honest, I'd be pretty angry with myself.

I did do similar about 10 months ago, still inexperienced in carrying pillions, and had a heavy pillion; ran wide on the bend... nothing coming, but I still feel bad about it.

[Sload]

[Kol]

Looks to me like you turned in too early mate. What was it that spooked you? Gravel on the road? Imo leaning the bike over into the corner more to try and make the turn is generally a better option than running onto the other side of the road potentially into the path of oncoming traffic.

[GrumpyGuts]

I honestly wasn't paying attention..I saw a bend coming up and I thought "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dis is gonnae siiiick!" then realising it's pretty much a fucking junction!

Just panicked...don't think I'll be doing that again. Glad it was filmed LMAO!!

Lol, well you live and learn mate. A lucky escape this time, and it all adds to your experience. If you think about it that way, it's better that it happened and there were no real consequences, so you can observe your actions on reflection and improve your riding skills, rather than on another occasion where you aren't so lucky.

Just went that way, managed 30mph around it by hanging off like a monkey, it's surprising how narrow that bit of road is, it's good you actually managed to stop the bike lol
