That was a classic example of target fixation, and he ended up exactly where he was looking. Yes, he may have felt he was coming into the corner too fast, but if he would have looked through the turn, leaned, and believed, he would have made the turn no problem.

BTW, that looks an awful lot like Colorado. Anybody know for sure?

i did something closed to the second...

I was out riding last weeksome time and I probley should have been. It was bitter cold, but I wanted to get it out and start er up. I took a short jog around the city, and in one corner I felt the back end come loose, so I straightened up, and put on the breaks. I didn't cross lanes though.
