Target fixation compilation

What happens when you don't look through your turn, especially when you get spooked:

Some very green riders there. Most all of them were easily going slow enough to make the turn and the ones that were going to fast still could of avoided a wreck if they were looking further ahead.

Take that stuff to a track. Trees, walls and guard rails hurt, oh trucks too. I saw a CBR500, the guy on the red bike who straightened up and hit the gaurd rail but stayed upright. I think it was one of my magazines that said just go for it, or something like that. If you straighten up in a curve you have chosen to crash.

Guard rails man, when I see those I slow the hell down. They will remove limbs.

Why yes they can. I had a boss at my last company that is missing one of her legs from the knee down from hitting a guardrail. She still rides though and even managed to get handicap tags on her bike.

I think at least 1/2 dozen or so just went to sleep. Wow.
