The article says "pothole" but I'm thinking more "target fixation"...

And the rider tried to sue the lorry driver? Twat!

That motorcyclerist is lucky to be alive
Struggling to think on what basis he could consider sueing the lorryist?

Heard Stacey Implants do a VO, must be true?

I'd assume that means a contested insurance claim, which surely would have been laughed off anyway because he wasn't deaded and so must have "laid it down".

"Lorryist" might have been doing a bit more than 40, mind. Shhh!

Saw this on another site.

Personally I think he went in to the corner to hot - as he crossed the white line he saw the 40 tonner bearing down on him & hit the front brake.

Obviously from where we are sat he should have done things differently as we would have done if we were in his position.

I..Think...Not!!! How can you say you would have done something different?

Yes..he should have approached the corner at the correct speed /bike settled / road position etc.

But he didn't.

Anyone else ever done that?

I know I have exactly like that except it was a Range Rover. New underpants & a lesson learned. ....Luckily Smile

Have to agree with this. I actually believe if he had the state of mind, he could have hit his left bar and tucked back into the bend before hitting the truck.

We've all hit corners hot but it's training your brain to lean in more rather than freezing and locking the front that would make the world of difference here.

He went in too fast because he was trying to keep or catch up with his mate. That's the peril of riding in any group, be it 2 or 200. Fuh fuh fuh, pipe and slippers.</thread>

What the hell? Never mind who's at fault, that was the weirdest "news" commentary I've ever seen.

Pity the poor lorryist who may have had an insurance nightmare visited upon him by the incredibly scary man who had been crushed beneath his wheels.
