Incredibly close call - R1

[D O G]

This dude comes so close to being a greasy stain. Awesome skills, but prob should not have been in that situation in the 1st place....

R1 close shave.

EDIT - just noticed the 4 leaf clover on the keyring, obviously saved his lucky ass.

[Itchy]

Nah that was a badly designed junction! ,

This is my favorite one, posted it a few years back.

Also, is it just me or does the road look like it has loads of small surface cracks in it?

Is it not even slightly sped up?

That is fucking "Oh my god" worthy, nice vid I'd say he came closer to dying than I did when I nearly crashed my Dad's SV

The OP one was the closest, wow he was so lucky... And immediately after instead of pulling over hes straight back on the power

Blind corner junctions should not be made like that (although obviously the R1 is going a tad fast). Amazingly lucky.

There are moments in country roads when I'm going just 50MPH when I have to brake hard for vehicles coming out of junctions. It's what I hate more than anything else, always having to be prepared to swerve around something after a corner.

Never hit anything in all my experience biking though, I must be doing something right.

He must of got one hell of an adrenaline rush there...



Now I don't believe in luck, his actions and the cagers actions alone saved him. They were just so narrow it's astonishing. Although I'm glad he's OK, I hope he learned something...


...He wasn't going fast enough, if he was going faster, he could of skipped the whole incident.






*Shouldn't it be near hit? As near miss suggests you nearly missed them but didn't?

Pretty sure it was brought up in another thread..

You can either miss someone or miss someone by a measurable amount that is so close (some people might refer to the word "close" as "near", I hope it isn't too confusing for general public consumption) that you might even call it a near miss.

But yes, they nearly hit that car.

I like the way he see's the van, slams the anchors....and realises within about a half a second that he's not going to stop that quickly...so gets back on the power and goes around.


Some good reactions and skills there...maybe a bit of luck.

I'm sure many of us would just slam on the anchors and skid into the van...

I'm also sure many of us don't go that fast on roads like that

I notice from the full video that it didn't slow him down.

If that had happened to me I'd probably pull over to clean my pants out.

that was skill and experiance that saved his ass tbh, alot of folk would have had target fixation or panic braked and slammed into that car.

Fuck me, I've had close shaves (even where I'v very nearly grazed leathers against bumpers etc) but just that give me a fright and an adrenaline buzz.

I think If I'd survived that, either my head would be as big as the White house and I'd kill myself through a false sense of invincibility or I'd quit riding above any limits with any of real danger (in realtion to those antics) before I killed myself.
