I posted this in the other thread but will post it here as well, so some of you can understand the road better....
For those of you that do not know that road.....It has portions of the road that are straight,(long stretches) then it suddenly turns into some hard twisties. It is possible that he was doing 130 on the straight, slowing down to take the twistie. Like I said on the TF side. Too many people are buying bikes and assuming they can handle twisties, because it looks easy. Trust me it takes A LOT of practice. I am not sure if the newbie had ever been on that road prior to that night, but if he had, he would of knew how fast the curves come up. I have road it MANY times and it can be a bitch. RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS!
